​Katie Muschlewski

Kundalini Yoga Instructor

Katie (she/they) discovered a passion for Hatha Yoga in her teens and has continued to develop her personal practice ever since then. While attending UW-Madison, they took a mini course that combined Kundalini Yoga with African Dance, and fell in love with the rhythm of movement and breath. During pregnancy, she practiced Kundalini Yoga and meditations daily which helped prepare and empower her for childbirth. Their personal experiences with healing meditations, inspired Katie to share the bounty of Kundalini Yoga with others. She completed teacher training in 2005 with Guru Anand Kaur and was given the name Kirti Kaur by Nirinjan Kaur. They attended several conferences with Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa, Gary Kraftsow and many more renowned teachers who continue to inspire her practice and teaching. Katie has utilized their event promotion experience to bring several well-known teachers to the Madison area to share their wealth of knowledge with other yoga thought leaders. Katie had the honor and privilege to introduce Grammy-nominated, performing artist, Snatam Kaur on stage to the Overture Center in October 2018.

Katie has taught prenatal yoga, Laya yoga, meditation, and has experience working with a variety of groups of all ages and abilities.

Plant the Seed Within to Let Your True Self blossom!
 

Location: Madison, WI  USA

 Kundalini Yoga is the Science of Awareness, an ancient technology for maintaining balance of the body, mind, and spirit. According to this tradition, Kundalini Yoga will help strengthen the glandular system, the nervous system, and the circulatory system; expand the lung capacity and eradicate emotional blocks that manifest as tension in the muscular system. ​

Kundalini Yoga is accessible for everyone regardless of age or experience. Kundalini Yoga combines conscious breathing (Pranayama), guided movement, meditation, simple postures (Asana), stretching, sequence (Kriya), rhythm, and sound (Mantra) to balance body, mind, and being. Remember who you truly are, love yourself completely, and accept yourself with all your potential. ​

This is the goal of Kundalini Yoga, to let your True Self blossom!
