I hold teaching and spaceholding as soul activism and sacred duty. I choose this work as it chooses me. While I hope that yoga offerings continue to evolve to center a social justice lens, this is not the norm as I’ve yet experienced. I uplift yoga as Indigenous knowledge & praxis that is in conversation with the Native lands and lifeways we rely upon. 

Yoga offers a living practice space to embody our commitments to ourselves and others. In a context of rising genocide, fascism, and political violence, yoga invites us to feel for freedom and wholeness of the mind and soul. This path (re)builds communities and systems of care and mutuality.

I teach weekly classes in downtown and west Seattle. Like many yoga guides, my schedule is often evolving. Please click here for my most up to date schedule, and follow me on IG @kateypeck.

I am also available for private and small group sessions. Send me a message to get the conversation started!

Every yoga asana class I offer invites connection to the multifaceted path of yogic experience. Beyond the physical postures. pranayam (breathwork), awareness & concentration practices, and philosophy are mainstays.

Expect plenty of time and space to settle in, kind and intentional movement, and classes themed to the season and moment.

Collective liberation refers to the innate interdependence of our lives and our thriving. “Nobody’s free until everybody’s free” – Fannie Lou Hamer. It recognizes and organizes around our shared humanity to dismantle the interconnected systems of oppression that ultimately harm all peoples, places, and beings. 

Not a new concept, but rather an evolving framework, collective liberation weaves together thinking and practice from Black, Brown, and allied activists spanning generations, including Paulo Freire, bell hooks, Audre Lorde, Chris Crass, and Micah Bazant.

Yoga (योग) comes from the root yuj (युज्), which can be translated as to join, unite, or yoke. While not connected to a single religion, yoga is a path of inquiry that invites us to connect deeply to ourselves, other people, land, and the energy of the universe (creator, divinity, nature, or whatever that means to you). 

With oneness at the root, yoga demands that we hold both the self and the whole all at once. Yoga offers a living practice space to embody our commitments to social justice.
