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.

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
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
