Kathy Alef

Kathy has been a student and practitioner of yoga since the late seventies. Along her journey, she studied with many knowledgeable teachers and was blessed to meet and study with Guruji, B.K.S. Iyengar, in Pune. When Guruji retired, his daughter, Geetaji, became Kathy’s mentor and teacher, and she made regular visits to study with her. After Geetaji’s passing, Kathy continued her studies virtually with Guruji’s son, Prashantji.

As Kathy’s knowledge deepened, she began teaching and, over the years, mentored and assessed students pursuing teaching certification, many of whom went on to successfully achieve it. She currently teaches a class for teachers and intermediate practitioners, as well as an All Levels class for those inspired by the benefits of yoga. In addition, she leads a long-standing specialized class for back care, where she has guided students not only toward improved physical health but also toward experiencing the quietness, peace, and serenity that yoga brings to the mind.
