Instructor: Katherine Boury
Yoga came into Katherine Boury's world almost 20 years ago to help heal the injuries from a car accident, and she has been a regular practitioner ever since. Katherine completed her yoga training and registered with Yoga Alliance RYT 200 in 2016. She has done additional training in Yin and Restorative Yoga along with yoga4cancer. She teaches Yin, Restorative, Flow, yoga4cancer and sometimes yoga with puppies. Katherine believes it is an honor to be teaching yoga and values of the benefit of yoga to strengthen both the body and the mind. She believes that with the continued practice of yoga that which no longer serves us begins to fall away and allows us to live more authentically. Katherine is also a cancer survivor and teaches yoga classes for cancer patients and survivors. Additional training includes: Mindfulness Without Borders (2021-2022), Mindful Self Compassion, 8 Limbs (2020), Anatomy for Teacher Training, Shakti Yoga Studios (2019), Restorative Teacher Training (2018) and
Yin Yoga Immersion, 8 Limbs (2018).
Explanation of Graphics
FOUR PILLARS
Flexibility: Ability to move joints well enough to prevent injury through a full range of motion.
Aerobics: Increases breathing and heart rate; also known as “cardio.”
Balance: Encourages functional movement to prevent falls. Important for safety, especially if experiencing neuropathy.
Strength: Increases coordination and ability to move weight — bodyweight or other. Form is always more important than weight!
INTENSITY LEVELS
Very Low: Focused on moving slowly and breathing deeply. An excellent starting point or a restorative activity to combine with other workouts.
Low: Involves light activity that doesn’t feel hard; it may not change your breathing pattern or make you sweat.
Moderate: Gets your heart pumping but will generally allow you to carry on a normal conversation.
High: Requires endurance and may be intense enough that normal conversation may not be possible.
