KATHERINE BANKER

Katherine is a born and raised Austinite. She currently resides in South Austin with husband Charlie, their two boys through foster care, and their fur babies––Kash and Pickles. Katherine loves to hike, travel, cook with her husband, be silly with kids, play everyday with her dogs, meditate, and of course practice yoga. You can often find her hanging out at bookstores or relaxing at the greenbelt.
 
Katherine has a congenital spine disorder called Spina Bifida. Yoga has helped Katherine reduce related pain and anxiety due to chronic pain and surgeries. After undergoing spine surgery in 2014, her personal business Bliss Kid Yoga was reborn as a nonprofit dedicated to providing free yoga programs for all populations and abilities. Currently, Katherine acts as Executive Director for Bliss Kid Yoga, teaches private sessions, and speaks and organizes events. She is constantly learning more about yoga as a path and deepening her own practice so that she may share the benefits with others.
