​​Katherine has been studying yoga along with mythology,
spirituality, and psychology most of her life,
beginning intuitively with asanas at an early age, she was only able to assume
that she was developing her own system of movement and stretching
to help others to gain and maintain flexibility, mobility, strength, and agility.
​
About a year later she discovered "yoga".
It was on a PBS show called "Lillias, Yoga, and You".
​
​
​We often see yoga as a stretching and breathing practice that helps us to get better at meditation,
to relieve us of stress, to help us lose weight, get stronger, be flexible, and stay youthful,
or to train ourselves up to achieve really cool calisthenics maneuvers
... but yoga doesn't stop there.
Whe we examine it, we can see how much more nuanced it can be.
​
Yoga includes kinds of activities that exist as a means to help us accomplish the goals that support peaceful cessation of mental activity, an overall state of peace and satisfaction that can support an ultimately excellent meditative state, or a refinement of overall being, can also all be categorized as "yoga".
As a teacher of 33 years of unforgiving independent, intuitive study and globally acquired applied research. Katherine has also acquired 445 hours of accredited training (including 🔥FIRE🔥 TANTRA PRACTICE).
​
Over time, she naturally branched out into a synergy of both Tantra and Yoga practices that includes arts and massage with the intention to induce deep meditation, peace, enhanced levels of intimacy, and joy.

Katherine Russ has been both organically and formally studying consciousness her whole life. Starting from a young age, she innately understood that we have some problems in this world, that we are struggling to be happy, to be at peace, and simply to live with what ever conditions are occurring in our lives. ​
​
She began studying yoga independently at age 11, and had come to the conclusion years ago not long after taking two yoga teacher training certification courses in 2011 & 2012, that modern standards have removed important teachings that must be restored in order to address our global mental health crisis.

scientifically grounded mind-body practices that bear an evident and positive biological effect in helping us to grow more healthy physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Yoga Means "Union".
It is an epic journey of consciousness expansion.
The techniques and guidance offered here are rooted in the ancient East and the means of transmitting these techniques have been growing back over time, much as a burnt forest recovers its trees.
Techniques that are categorized as yoga aspects in themselves are presented to the world often as therapies or otherwise "modes of recovery", that is methods employed in order to effect positive change in oneself.
​
Some of these modes of yoga (as described in further detail in the Yoga Sutras) are labled, branded, or otherwise presented as and explored through the following:
​
Satya (truthfulness)
Vichara (disernment between real and unreal):
Power V. Force, Letting Go (and more) by Dr. David Hawkins
12 Step Programs such as Narcotics Anonymous (Narcanon)/Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)/Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACA)/Sex Addicts Anon (SAA)
​
Ahimsa: Nonviolent Communication/NVC
Vegitarianism/veganism

Many of the above chief works have been discovered to have emerged during the psychospiritual (spiritual psychology) renaissance that occurred during the19th century with isolated clinical discoveries the United States and South America.
With our humble efforts to shed light on the big picture of not only yoga's history, but the progress of humanity toward revelations in support of our collective realization of human potential (you can simplify it as "awakening"), we encourage these works to blossom as modern forms of the lesser-known esoteric world of jnana yoga (knowledge yoga).
We understand that the work of the great minds we celebrate here complete the practice of yoga in the intellectual arena, freeing "the practice" from its modern stereotype of being almost strictly a physical display of flexibility, gymnastics, and asanas. Our goal is to help the concept of union that yoga is translated as takes root in the practical world of emotional health and mental support so we can approach all 8 angas (limbs, steps) in a practical way.
This is our guide to aligning our focus on the two first most important limbs of actual yogic empowerment, Yamas and Niyamas with unshakable dedication. When we access the kinds of modern material offered on our curated reading list and through our discovery calls for Dharma discourse, yoga comes into a modern science that is PRACTICAL, NON-RELIGIOUS, THOROUGHLY TRUE AND REAL SALVATION.
Yoga shows us that YES, WE CAN recover physical and behavioral integrity, serenity and ultimately find more subtle, family-friendly, and joyful pleasures. Yoga is not just for crystal loving active wear loving single womemn and Moms, alike, nor stay-at-home house wives. Nor the odd softly spoken, intelligent, spiritually tuned-in man who understands that exercise and eating right is just part of the big picture of self care and self love and everything that heals us. Yoga is a birthright for all of us, so that we embrace the true essence of union in our pursuit of a healthy and fulfilling life.
We are here to build a world where everything we do is geared toward the simple goal and vision of men and women simply co-existing in a mutually supportive way that is not one-sided, nor co-dependent, meditating together in harmony. We realize that the elements of yoga are not just for an excellent physical practice that covers our core strength, our balance, coordination, our over all posture, our digestion, and our mental state and thought process, to help us age gracefully, maintain a youthful glow, and stay spry enough to be able to pick up our grandchildren without difficulties or pain.
It is this, but MORE, SO MUCH MORE. It is our building blocks for true happiness that digs down into behavioral health and welcoms in the artistic and creative process as an essential part for a healthy fully developed adult that goes all the way to realizing the human potential.
