Active Kat Studio was established in 2002 by Kat Robinson in Doniphan, MO. Since it's opening it has become one of the most well known yoga studios in Southeast Missouri.
Active Kat Yoga offers a vigorous form of hatha vinyasa as well as restorative yin classes.
Each vinyasa class begins with a short meditation, deep breathing to focus and center the mind, we then bring the body into it, slowly building heat with each Sun Salutation, we then move to balancing, back bends, seated poses, inversions and finally a deep relaxation sequence to restore the the body and mind and to let energy run freely after opening the joints and "loosening" the muscles.
In our restorative yin classes we use props and blocks to hold poses for a longer period to deepen the poses. Focus is on relaxation which is known to lower cortisol.
Those who practice either or both regularly have been known to lose weight, have brought down blood pressure, and quite simply improved overall health.
Beginners are always welcome!
