Meet Katherine McCommon: Bio
Katherine McCommon began practicing yoga in 1997
and found yoga to be a source of support and strength
when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Katherine
had the opportunity to see the physical, emotional, and
spiritual benefits as her mother was healed from her
illness. While pursuing a Bachelor's Degree at LeTourneau University, her
practice blossomed to include teaching. Katherine completed qualified training with YogaFit Training Systems Worldwide in Yoga Fit's Levels 1-3, Yoga Butt, and YogaFit's Seniors. Katherine has
studied yoga from Judith Lasater, Ph.D, P.T. ,Beth
Shaw , Melanie Fawer, Deanna Anderson, and Rose
Zahnn. Katherine continues to be an avid student of
several teachers in the Hatha (physical) and Bhakti
(devotional) traditions. Her mindful and playful teaching
style draws from an eclectic background in order to
make the poses available to a wide variety of
practitioners. She has shared yoga with a variety of yogis in the East Texas area. In 2004, Katherine spent a year developing a yoga & meditation program for Physical Impact Gym & Fitness in Longview. Then, in 2005, moved to Longview Yoga Studio to share instructor responsiblities and help support Longview's first premier yoga studio. Recently, in Jan 2008, Katherine joined the teaching staff at Barefoot Fitness: Women's Yoga and Wellness Center in Longview.
