About Salt Yoga
With a deep appreciation for the benefits that yoga & meditation has, not just on our mental state, but our overall well-being; Katie facilitates an empowering practice that incorporates the use of mindfulness and breathing techniques. Her yogic journey, spanning 2 decades includes teaching throughout Melbourne, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka. She now leads the teaching team at the Salt Yoga Studios where she resides on the coast of South Australia.
‘I invite you to meet me just as you are.’
Katie's extensive training includes a Masters of Mindfulness, along with studies in BioMedical Yoga & Meditation, Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin, Philosophy, Pilates & Pranayama. Sparked by her belief that everything begins with our centre, her classes are typically fluid with a strong focus on the core. Yet they are also lively, warm and inquisitive.
The walks & Packing List
The walks on the tour are suitable for anyone who does a little bit of walking or some fitness. Both walks are easy just with a couple of short uphill sections that we will take nice and slow. Dani & Talia are trained hiking guides with lots of experience and can help you through any challenging sections. You won’t need any specific gear for this hike, just a small backpack (approx 15L) to carry some water & a lunchbox and a pair of sneakers (hiking boots or trail runners are great if you have them but not essential). If you are not sure about the hiking and would like to check with us please call or email us for further information.
