About Katherine Stuart, C-IAYT
Yoga Therapy in Spokane & Online
Katherine Stuart is a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT), RYT-500, and MBA who offers individualized yoga therapy sessions in Spokane and online. Her work is rooted in compassion, collaboration, and whole-person care.
Yoga therapy is a therapeutic relationship built on personalized assessment, goal setting, and the intentional application of yogic practices to support health and well-being. From the first session, Katherine meets each client with presence, respect, and deep listening, creating a space where healing can unfold at a sustainable pace.
She works with individuals navigating trauma, grief, addiction recovery, chronic stress, burnout, and periods of emotional overwhelm. Her approach recognizes that healing does not come from pushing harder, but from reconnecting safely with the body, breath, and inner awareness.
A Trauma-Sensitive, Somatic Approach
Katherine’s work is trauma-sensitive and body-based, emphasizing choice, pacing, and consent in every session. Clients are invited to move slowly, notice internal signals, and rebuild trust within their own bodies.
Sessions may integrate:
Therapeutic movement and adaptive yoga practices
Breathwork and nervous system regulation
Mindfulness and meditation
Yoga philosophy and guided self-inquiry
Personalized home practices to support daily life
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all program, yoga therapy evolves alongside the client. Over time, clients develop practical tools that support emotional regulation, resilience, and a greater sense of balance.
Supporting Stress, Burnout & High-Demand Lives
In addition to her clinical yoga therapy training, Katherine brings experience in corporate leadership and entrepreneurship. Holding an MBA in Entrepreneurship, she understands firsthand the realities of high-performance environments, chronic stress, and professional burnout.
She supports professionals, caregivers, and individuals in demanding roles who are seeking sustainable ways to restore focus, regulate stress, and reconnect with meaning — without adding more pressure or unrealistic expectations.
Yoga therapy offers grounded, realistic support designed for real life, not quick fixes.
What to Expect in Yoga Therapy Sessions
Yoga therapy sessions are collaborative, personalized, and adaptive. Each meeting is shaped by your goals, current capacity, and lived experience while remaining grounded in therapeutic structure and safety.
Together, you may explore movement, breath, rest, reflection, and education in a way that feels accessible and supportive. The intention is not perfection in practice, but integration — helping you build skills that extend beyond the session and into everyday life.
