Kate Baran

 Kate’s introduction to yoga was through dance, where she first learned the power of uniting breath and movement to calm, stretch, and strengthen the body. After landing in Chicago in 2003, Kate continued her exploration of yoga through dance classes and as a training tool for long-distance running, before finding a home studio at Bloom where she could focus solely on yoga for its own benefits. Kate received both her 200-hour (2016) and Pre-Natal (2017) certifications from Bloom yoga Studio before moving to Charlotte, NC.
Through connection of breath and movement, Kate encourages an intuitive and personal approach to yoga.  Her focus on a playful and safe practice encourages exploration and practicality, finding ways to incorporate yoga into every day life.
