The enrolment process for private yoga classes is as follows:
Meet Dr. Katherine Martin
BA, BSc (Hons), PhD, Dip. Yogic Sciences
I have always had a strong connection with nature and at university I studied various sciences to learn more about the secrets behind the structure and function of living organisms. I then went on to complete a PhD in plant physiology, during which I had a series of realisations about the nature of life and how everything is a divine embodiment of sacred geometry.
After a few life-changing events, I became interested in the relationship between the mental, emotional and physical bodies, and how yoga could address the root causes of illness. Over the next 20 years, I deepened my exploration of various eastern and western philosophies, esoteric teachings, yogic physiology and psychology, nutrition and supplementation, and other healing modalities including vibrational medicine (especially light and sound).
Years later I decided to formalise my intimate knowledge of yoga with a two-year Diploma in Yogic Studies, the most comprehensive teacher-training course on offer. I studied Japanese Buddhism in Japan and am also an initiate of Tibetan Buddhism. The wisdom and insight gained from these practices complement my teaching style.
Step 1 - Discovery Session
The first step in our Yoga for Life Personalised Coaching Program is a free online session to discuss your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs, and to determine if you are ready to commit to an intensive program of transformational change.
Step 2 - Full Health Assessment
The second session involves a comprehensive health and well-being assessment, preferably conducted in person if possible. The information from the first and second sessions is used to set goals and objectives for your 10 week personalised program.
By committing to a coaching program with me, you will learn how to integrate simple yet effective practices into your daily life to create lasting and positive change. The secret to a balanced life is inner balance, peace and harmony. Your health is your greatest asset!
Step 3 - Start Your Personalised Yoga Program
Now we get down to business and start working towards your goals through intensive one-on-one sessions. My scientific and intuitive understanding of the body-mind-spirit complex allows me to draw on and synthesise the most appropriate practices and techniques to optimise your health and well-being.
Over the course of the program, I help you to deepen your self-awareness and support you in working towards an integrated health goal. In the last session, we evaluate and review your progress and any improvements in health and well-being.
- Initial package: Full health assessment + 9 personalised classes (10 weeks) – Contact Katherine for availability and current rates.
- Subsequent packages are available in blocks of 5 classes and will continue to build on your personalised program and goals, adjusting as required. Packages may be conducted in person or online (in person preferred if physically possible).
Commit to an intensive coaching program today and welcome more peace, joy and serenity to your life!
Testimonials
The coaching program definitely saw me develop a much deeper understanding of my own practice and led me to learn alot about the school of yoga in which Katherine's teaching draws upon. The inspiration I gained from the program will stay with me for the rest of my life. Katherine really understood me and what I was going through and tailored the program to meet my needs specifically, developing multiple practices for both in studio and at home. Katherine spent alot of time talking with me about mine and our spiritual journey and also teaching me about the different systems of yoga. It's been a blessing to be able to share my experience with her and to learn abit about her own.
The location is in the heart of the bush and surrounded by nature and the studio itself is zen and calming. It's the perfect place to be able to let go of anything you're holding onto, relax into your practice and the support of a very grounded and loving human.
Yoga on the ridge has my 5 stars.
