Although I was unable to attend all the Zoom sessions, I enjoyed the course and reaped the benefits of the gatherings I was able to attend. Katharine is knowledgeable and leads interesting groups discussions. She shares her experience with simplicity and clarity. Her videos and guidance through verses in the Gita made the content accessible and enlightening.

‘Bringing the Gita to Life’ was more than a course—it was a journey inward. Katherine teaches with such warmth, presence, and deep understanding that I felt truly seen and supported. Through her guidance, the Bhagavad Gita became a living text for me—something I could feel in my heart and apply in my everyday life. This course has opened a doorway to a deeper connection with myself and the divine. I’m so grateful. Thank you Katherine🙏

‘Bringing the Gita to life’ so encapsulates my experience of this course and Katharine is truely a master at the helm of it expertly and patiently guiding us through the verses. I think sometime in the past I had attempted to dip into the Gita and not understood what all the battle talk was about. From the very first class where I learned the battle was an analogy for the mind, I was hooked. It has been a wonderful 9 months of regular dipping into the Gita since with Katharine’s recorded sessions and monthly discussion group. I shall keep attuning to the Song of the Divine for sure. Thank you so much Katharine for offering this programme, I’ve really valued it.

Bringing the Gita to Life is such an enriching, aptly – named course. Katharine walked us step by step through the themes of this timeless work with plenty of relatable real life examples. I looked forward to the monthly discussion group. Katharine is a great teacher.

I undertook my foundation course and yoga teacher training with a teacher who was deeply rooted in the philosophy of yoga which is really what I am deeply drawn towards about these practices. It has been a gift to undertake a longer course allowing the practices and the philosophy to be absorbed a little more deeply. I have particularly enjoyed the non violent communication on a practical level – found this awakened something in me which has helped my relationships. I have loved the fact everything comes back to being more in touch with and spending more time connecting to ‘my’ essential beingness. I have found this simple and freeing – there is no need for complicated practices. Some of things we have looked at in earlier sessions have come into my life later in the year when the time is right. I sort of feel a releasing of pressure somehow. The last session we had together was fabulous with the introduction of the Yoga Vasistha and the beautiful inclusive teachings within. I find Katharine teaches and shares her experience in a gentle, straight forward, kind and simple way. For me this has created a sense of safety to explore these teachings for myself. I am keen to undertake another course with Katharine next year.

It’s been pleasure being on the course. Understanding of Yama and Niyama deepened. So happy with the course and grateful for Katherine to share her knowledge with us. Such an eye opener from start to finish. I always learn from other participants questions and their thoughts, felt it was a lovely group of people. As always, Katharine’s course gave me a bit more confident each time for me to read more scriptures. I really enjoyed Yama and Niyama course. Thank you very much for your time to prepare and share your knowledge and wisdom.

Taking the Yama and Niyama course has been a truly transformative experience for me. It not only deepened my understanding of yoga philosophy but also helped me integrate these timeless principles into my daily life. The teachings on self-discipline, mindfulness, and inner harmony resonated deeply, and the practical guidance made them easy to apply. I found myself becoming more intentional in my actions and more compassionate toward myself and others. The course provided a perfect balance of wisdom, reflection, and actionable steps, and I feel more aligned with my values than ever before. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to elevate their practice and live with greater clarity and purpose. It’s a beautiful journey of self-discovery that stays with you long after it’s over. Many thanks to Katharine for this beautiful experience.

This course has a depth and richness which enables a real understanding of the yamas and niyamas. I have been studying and practicing yoga for over 2 decades but after this year I feel a new level of understanding of this philosophy and the course has been transformative in living a thriving life.

I have thoroughly enjoyed studying the Yama and Niyama with Katharine. She shared her vast experience and knowledge, providing us with a deep insight into each concept and how to apply it in our daily lives. Not only did she guide us through yogic practices, helping us reach a deeper understanding of ourselves and our interactions with others, she led us towards a much deeper understanding of Oneness consciousness and the nature of our true Self as free, pure and eternal.

This Yama and Niyama course has been profound and has transformed my life in ways I could never have imagined.  The teachings are easy to understand and the weekly exercises are practical and helped keep me focused on what we were studying.  I have changed my behaviours, responses and patterns and in doing so my life because of this course. Even though I am in Australia, Katharine made sure I felt included in the group and we had one on one sessions where needed.

I have completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training and had some knowledge of the Yamas and Niyamas before enrolling, but this year of studying more deeply has truly been a gift. With a monthly live gathering and weekly practices, the course allows you to dig deeper into teachings while applying them to your life. The subtitle of the course says it all: a year of self inquiry.

This last year has been incredibly transformational not only for my personal life but also as a yoga teacher, and a Yoga Therapist. I truly believe this is due to Katharine’s guidance and wisdom. Her expertise on this subject is truly inspiring. The course allows time for each Yama and Niyama to take effect in everyday life and the group has been incredibly supportive in allowing me to establish a daily meditation practice. There’s no pressure to complete the homework, just an encouragement to practice according to your life circumstances, with a kindness to self.
