Welcome

A warm welcome to the Kathy White Yoga website.  This is a loving space for you to connect with Kathy and her teaching of Kaiut Yoga.   

Kaiut Yoga has been adapted to address the issues of your modern western lifestyle. 

Being aware of  the stresses in your daily life, and the effect that has on your body and mind.

Classes focus on restoring and revitalizing your biomechanical health and rebalancing your nervous system. 

Kaiut Yoga honours the roots of yoga and through precision and awareness brings you to much a deeper spiritual connection in yourself, to life and to the nature of consciousness.

In a Kaiut class you are skillfully guided by Kathy to uncover the rigidity and blockages in your body. These blocks, once exposed are then explored deeply,  specifically working in your joints. Hips, shoulders, ankles, neck, elbows, wrists, fingers and toes.   

Within a very short time you will experience radical results.

The poses have been modified and adapted from traditional asanas to address the specific issues in your body. They will help you identify and address the imbalances you feel. 

Over time, you will see how the sequence of classes and progression of postures have been carefull designed to support you to regain full mobility.  It has been called yoga for people who hate yoga as it has a "less is more" approach. 

You are invited to rest, relax and allow the pose to work you, rather than you work the pose. 

By using gravity, time and precision to create pressure, you will also find the work demanding at whatever level you feel able to work at.  For that reason Kaiut is also called yoga for everybody and every body. 

This website is where you can get class information, download a free video class, purchase a class pass,  sign up to become a member for your home practice and read Kathy's Blog about her understanding of Yoga.

If you do decide to join as a member these are some of the benefits you will receive.

And Kathy teaches using her own unique and magic style and uses the Kaiut Method Lesson Plans.  She was originally trained in Hatha Yoga with the Sivananda Yoga Organization in 2000.  Since 2004,  her main influence and inspiration came from Scaravelli teachers. Scaravelli had studied directly with Mr Iyengar.  In 2017 Kathy discovered the work of  Brazillian Francisco Kaiut and she became a certified Kaiut teacher in 2018.  Read more about Kathy's Yoga journey here

What is Yoga?

There is a paradox within Yoga.

Yoga is something we do with our body, but it's not a physical activity.  Yoga is about how we can establish ourselves in the present moment with awareness and without stress.  The practice was never about stretching muscles or building strength, when we stretch like that we make the joints unstable and therefore the mind is unstable.  Yoga is about cultivating awareness that helps us understand that everything we do with the body can help us lead a longer, better life.  One of my teachers -  Francisco Kaiut - whose practice of Yoga I am currently most closely following and teaching says

 

Yoga is a chronic state of presence with emotional coherence. Francisco Kaiut

Imagine a "chronic" state of awareness or presence.  We so often think of chronic conditions as bad.  We have many negative conotations about being in a chronic state. So it's lovely to turn that around and see chronic in a positive light. That presence, consciousness, this feeling of being alive NOW could be a chronic condition for you.  Imagine not spending your days caught up in busy mind, thinking of the past, or planning for the future.  And that is what your time on your yoga mat can cultivate and build for you. So that you continue to do Yoga throughout your day.  Meeting each moment by softening into a receptive state, welcoming life to move through you, and staying coherent in your emotional body.  Cultivating joy, calm and love within the vastness of your total being.
In our western culture, with so much emphasis on competion, ambition, success, and growth it is understandable how the eastern practice of yoga has been translated away from its roots.
Many people today see yoga as a fitness exercise.   Many people  have tried yoga and hated it, they expect too much of their body, they don’t get the results they want and it feels uncomfortable.  In fact Yoga has nothing to do with fitness or flexibility.  It is everything to do with awareness and from that body health emerges. This is what yoga is – an invitation to deepen into awareness, to see the body as a playground of consciousness and by moving well finding more freedom from constrictions in all areas of your life.
