Who is bendykate?

Kate Hewett has an intuitive, informed and inspiring style of teaching, grounded in a decade of yoga and meditation practice and training in the UK, US and India. She started teaching in 2001 and soon established herself as a leading teacher in the major London studios. In 2005 Kate discovered Anusara yoga and dedicated herself to helping grow this system in the UK. She is grateful to John Friend and Bridget Woods-Kramer 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 600 accredited hours in this method, is working towards becoming a Certified Anusara teacher.

Kate aims to make the ancient teachings of yoga relevant to modern life, and 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.

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 runs a learning programme for budding social entrepreneurs in Devon. She lives on the edge of Dartmoor and travels regularly to teach workshops in London and elsewhere.
