Katherine Davis is a certified instructor of both Authentic Pilates and Iyengar-based Hatha Yoga. She moved to the Bay Area in 1996, after receiving her B.A. in Dance from Scripps College, and a Teaching Certification from Performing Arts Physical Therapy/The Pilates Studio. For six years she performed with various dance companies, choreographed her own work, taught modern dance technique to children and adults, and ultimately founded and produced the East Bay Dance Festival in 2002 and 2003. In 2004, she took a step back from the dance world, delving more deeply into the study of Yoga. She completed Piedmont Yoga Studio's Advanced Studies Program in June, 2005. Since then, she has been busy teaching; designing and building her private studio; getting married; and most importantly, furthering her education in all things Yoga.

Haven't had much news to report in a while, but I wanted to take this opportunity to recommend a new shop that has opened in my neighborhood. Micio Mambo is a boutique specializing in cruelty-free products. The store is conveniently located just off Grand Avenue, across from the Grand Lake Theater. It probably receives a bit less foot traffic than it should, being 'around the bend' (where Grand wraps around the 580 West entrance and becomes Santa Clara). Make a point of coming by to check out this new shop. (2/09)

Go Warriors! (2/09)

I have just begun the Mindfulness Yoga and Meditation Training Program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center. This eighteen-month program will deepen both my asana and sitting practices, as well as my philosophical grounding in Buddhist and Yogic thought. This program, which is very practice-oriented, will be a wonderful complement to my concurrent work in Georg Feuerstein's Traditional Yoga Studies distance learning course. (8/07)

My new studio is open! (3/07)

I have just begun Georg Feuerstein's Traditional Yoga Studies distance learning course. This 800-hour course focuses on the history and philosophy of yoga. I should be finished with the course by June of 2008. Ok, maybe not. Now am aiming to finish by June, 2010. (11/06)

We have a new member in our family! We were vacationing in rural New Mexico, when one night at 3:00 am we were awakened by a huge commotion just outside our cottage. A pack of coyotes had chased this little dog up to our house, and he narrowly escaped their jaws (by millimeters it seemed), falling into our portola! He was completely traumatized for hours, but the next day made friends with Kath, Tim, and eventually Buddy and Leia, so we decided to keep him. Welcome Eduardo ! (8/06)  

For friends and family: I put a bunch of our Wedding Pictures up, along with a few from the honeymoon in Italy. (1/08)

For friends and family: Random Vacation Pics.
