Katie West
Australian born and raised, Katie West began her studies of yoga and meditation in her early twenties while living in London. This began a relationship that would deepen with studies under many masters in several traditions of yoga, movement and shamanism in all corners of the world.
With a love for travel, Katie settled on the beautiful island of Koh Phangan in Thailand and called it home for over a decade while sharing her gift as a teacher to both local and overseas students, while running yoga retreats in other exotic places. During this time Katie also worked along side renowned retreat centres throughout Asia which included Hariharalaya Retreat Center in Cambodia.
Katie teaches in response to all that she has learnt in recovery from her own battle with breast cancer and trauma and is passionate about moving students deeper into the fabrication of life through ritual. Her classes weave together energy work, story telling, breath work and a healthy dose of humour within an inclusive and nurturing space.
Katie is currently a resident senior yoga teacher and teacher trainer at Inna Bliss Yoga and offers regular classes, Women’s Circles and 200HR Yoga Teacher Training program.
