Kim Tatman
Kim first stepped onto a yoga mat in the basement of her home with Bryan Kest's Power Yoga VHS tape (yes, tape!) about 25 years ago and was immediately hooked. Initially it was the discovery that yoga could be physically challenging that kept her putting the VHS tape into the VCR week after week but soon she discovered there was much more to yoga. The little power nap at the end was as important as the “workout”???
It didn’t take long to segue into Community Ed classes and ultimately studios. With three small children at home, yoga became a mini-vacation once a week. Then week after week, year after year, Kim became aware of the sacred space she had created for self-care and how what was learned on the mat shaped life off the mat.
In an “Aha” moment, Kim realized she could combine her love of teaching, coaching, and yoga by becoming a yoga instructor. She took the leap and ventured to Costa Rica to study multidimensional yoga at Pavones Yoga Center with Indira Kate Kalmbach. Although many people enter the yoga world with physical aesthetics as the goal, multidimensional yoga approaches the practice as sadhana, meaning to “draw forth nascent abilities.”
Kim loves teaching Avita as well as a vinyasa style class that is rooted in the basics of Iyengar sequencing while mindfully incorporating stamina and strength building with a connective mind, body, spirit flow. Her intention in class is to offer a space of possibility for yogis to evolve and grow their own practice.
