Interdisciplinary Yoga Teacher / Storyteller / Children’s Play Specialist
Kathryn Ryan
is an Interdisciplinary Yoga Teacher and Storyteller – combining her two loves to enhance and enrich children’s learning through mindfulness and yoga. Trained at the prestigious Nosara Yoga Institute, in Costa Rica, she holds over 300 hours of yoga training in various disciplines – Hatha, Kripalu & Kundalini – as well as being a Children’s Yoga Specialist with a decade of imagining with children under her belt!
She operates a successful community daycare and formerly worked in the media as a scriptwriter & editor, which she loved, loved, loved, but her passion for teaching kids self-efficacy through imaginative yoga adventures and positive body awareness eventually won through! Using her additional training in improv, Cognitive & Dialectical Behaviour Techniques, Neurobiology & play-based progressive education, Kath provides a complete physical and emotional education that enhances a child’s balance, flexibility and versatility – physically and socially.
Her journey so far has taken her from her hometown of Sydney, Australia, through Bali, Europe, The Caribbean, North and Central America. She currently considers Toronto home and is very excited to be working in the children’s yoga community.
