WOWYoga Well Hello There!
Katie Kopp, E-RCYT®, RYT®
Hi, I’m Katie! Yoga enthusiast, co-founder of WOWYoga, and super proud mom of two. I live for connection and adventures of all kinds. I love tapping into movement, creativity and silliness daily. When I’m not teaching or practicing yoga, you are likely to find me (alongside our little fam) enjoying a variety of outdoor activities and spending time with family and friends.
My yoga journey began in 2012, when I was pregnant with our daughter, and my dad surprised me with classes to prenatal yoga. The physical relief I felt in my body was immediate and, as I attended more classes, something inside began to wake-up and shift my awareness.
A class or two a week quickly turned into several, and I ended up joining a beautiful studio that would become my yoga-home and community for the next 8 years. The physical changes were so empowering, however, the mental and emotional shifts and the teachings were what really propelled my practice.
In 2017, I decided to leave my corporate job and began training to become a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT®). Having two young kids at the time, my curiosity for kids yoga was in full force. Knowing how much yoga had positively impacted my mental, emotional and physical health, I couldn't help wonder how impactful it would be to have these tools at a much younger age.
Since 2019, I have completed three series of trainings (Canada and US), through Rainbow Yogaᵀᴹ Training and received my designation as a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher (RCYT®). I was blown away by the creativity, energy and playfulness of this yoga training and I cannot wait to share the magic of this practice with the youth and families of PTBO and surrounding areas.
