Our People. Our Place.
Our resident ashtangi
Kat is our resident Ashtangi at Waking Dreams. Her favourite pose to teach is navasana. In
Ashtanga it’s five rounds of five breaths, which is a silly amount of time under tension. In the last
round she loves to see the room fighting to breathe through the discomfort, reminding everyone
that that’s the real yoga, not whether you can get your leg behind your head.
Coincidentally, her
favourite pose to practice is kurmasana, or legs behind the head.
After extensive research she’s found that Third Culture chai is the best in East London. You’re
welcome.
