 Who is bendykate?

Kate Hewett (RYT 500) is devoted to making the highest teachings of yoga relevant to our modern lives. She has an intuitive, informed and inspiring style of teaching, grounded in twelve years of yoga and meditation practice and training in the UK, US and India. She started
teaching in 2001, discovered Anusara yoga in 2005 and was converted on the spot! Kate is grateful to John Friend,  Bridget Woods-Kramer and Clare Murphy for their continuing inspiration and support on this path. Kate was one of the first 'Anusara-Inspired' teachers in the UK and now, with over 650 accredited hours in this method, is working towards becoming a Certified Anusara teacher.

In each class or workshop you can expect to find a key philosophical theme woven into a flowing practice with clear alignment instructions and playful challenges. Kate can also work therapeutically with a wide range of physical injuries, imbalances and conditions, most effectively in a one-to-one private session.

Among the many wonderful beings who have shown Kate the way over the years are: Abby Daniels, who first inspired her to practice regularly, Shri K Pattabhi Jois, who taught her about discipline and the ego; Nancy Gilgoff, who taught her about energetics and touch; Kathleen Hogan, who helped her understand attitude, alignment and action; John Friend, who showed her that yoga can be both fun and truly transformative; Bridget Woods-Kramer, who continues to show her the heart of yoga; Carlos Pomeda, who teaches the sacred texts of yoga from an authentic and open-hearted Tantric viewpoint; Swami Nishchalananda who showed her the power of mantra; a number of shamanic teachers who have helped her face up to her fears and open to the beauty of life; and Ram Chatlani, who has been a major inspiration and guide over the past 5 years - for which she is eternally grateful!

In addition to teaching yoga, Kate helps emerging social entrepreneurs in Devon turn their dreams into a reality. She lives in the woods on Dartmoor and travels regularly to teach workshops in London and elsewhere.
