ABOUT ME
KATHERINE VELIE
My friend Sarah convinced me to go to my first yoga class when we were just 16. We stood out amongst the regulars in that attic studio, and a lot of what I remember was looking at each other and laughing. But what I loved then, and still do is that yoga tapped into this raw and free version of myself. It felt like truth. Many years later I stepped back into that same studio to receive my 200 RYT in the Vinyasa style, and shortly thereafter received a 95-hour specialty RCYT with Young Yoga Masters to teach children.
With a background in marketing, copywriting, art and design, creativity has always been my guru. Children inspire me with their spontaneous wisdom, truthful disposition and expert physical comedy. I love a good metaphor and a good book, and see my yoga mat as both. Kids who come to my classes are invited to climb aboard their own magic carpet, relax, close their eyes and meet their own wise teacher: themselves.
UNPLUGGED YOGA

Yoga is personal power. It means tapping into your inner strength, wisdom and connecting to the truest part of oneself. Through storytelling, music, laughter and breath, Unplugged Yoga classes help build kids' focus, self-confidence, strength and trust in themselves.
The yoga mat is like our own personal laboratory where we get to test out our strength, focus, acceptance and innate wisdom. From the mat, kids learn to apply their Yoga in the real world, everyday and in their own unique way. Unplugged Yoga is where kids step into their own power and become their own superhero.
