About
Hi!
I’m Katherine, a yogi(ni), runner, triathlete, and mom.
Mind Body Athlete is a chronicle of my search for balance– physically, mentally, and in my day-to-day life. Here you’ll find posts on all things yoga-, running-, and fitness-related– and their overlap with the “real world”. Topics range from what benefits yoga can offer to endurance athletes, to ways to incorporate easy stress-busting and focus-enhancing moves into your everyday life, to meals I’ve made that occupy the fast-healthy-tasty trifecta (no guarantees your toddler will clean their plate– but that’s certainly my goal!).
I’ve been practicing yoga since 2003, and began running and racing triathlons in 2013. In 2014 I became a registered yoga teacher at the 200 level (RYT-200). While I’m not out to be a professional athlete, I am interested in pushing my own limits and enabling others to do the same. I’m a meticulous nerd when it comes to yoga and triathlon. I’ve spent hundreds of hours studying philosophies of yoga practice and triathlon training, and I’m super excited to share what I’ve learned with you!
I happen to wear a bunch of other hats as well!
I provide comprehensive digital design, web development, and social marketing services at Floret Digital Design.
I’m an illustrator and surface pattern designer at Purple Peach Studio.
I used to be an academic anthropologist, and did ethnographic research in Guatemala, which you can read about here, here, and here.
Please note: While I am a registered yoga teacher at the 200 level (RYT-200), I am not a medical professional or registered dietitian. The information I offer here is based on my personal experience and reading of popular triathlon, yoga, and health-related literature. Please consult with your physician before embarking on a new exercise or diet program.
