About Katie Beane
Katie Beane (RYT 500hr) is a mama, anti-racist and social justice activist, and a witch. She loves a good belly laugh, spending time with her people, reading great books under soft blankets, and unexpected adventures. Katie began practicing yoga and meditation while caring for her terminally ill mother. She found a new kind of peace on her mat during a chaotic and painful time, and has made her practice a powerful touchstone in her life. Since beginning her yoga journey, the practice has allowed her to appreciate and celebrate her body and mind, stay centered—regardless of what life brings—and serve others.
Katie is committed to social justice, and spends much of her time dedicated to anti-bias and anti-racism education, and DEIA efforts as the Program Manager for Mindbridge's Implicit Bias Project. She values the role yoga and mindfulness play in helping people see and speak the truth, and how an understanding of neurobiology helps us develop the resilience needed to authentically engage in any of life's challenges, especially social justice and human rights work.
Katie brings a deep respect for bodies of ALL shapes, sizes, and abilities to her teaching, and firmly believes that EVERY body can practice and benefit from yoga. She is passionate about making yoga accessible to ALL and to offering each student she encounters the opportunity to experience a greater sense of ease and alignment—physically, emotionally, and energetically. Katie incorporates breath, Reiki, mindfulness, equity and justice, and her sense of humor into each class.
