Kate Jenkins, a seasoned Yoga instructor based in Wimborne, UK, is passionate about guiding sports players through mindful movement with a focus on gentle somatic yoga.
Inspired by Vanda Scaravelli, Kate emphasises that yoga isn't about perfecting poses but about easing tension and connecting to the spine through breath and movement. She helps players discover a lightness and freedom in their bodies, moving without force or strain.
Kate's classes centre on mindful exploration and self-care, encouraging players to listen to their bodies and nurture themselves. The aim is not to stretch and hold postures but to tune into sensations and find support from the ground through the bones.
Besides her regular yoga sessions, Kate offers monthly online Yoga Nidra classes, also known as “yogic sleep.” This restorative meditation practises helps reduce stress, improve concentration, and build self-compassion. Kate creates a cosy environment, encouraging players to use pillows, blankets, and eye masks for a comfortable experience.
With training in Gentle Somatic Yoga, Kate combines therapeutic yoga with somatic movements, allowing players to become more aware of their bodies and release stress-based patterns. Benefits include increased flexibility, reduced pain, better sleep, and clearer minds.
Kate's classes cater to all levels, from beginners to seasoned practitioners, offering individualised support. Her warm, nurturing teaching style ensures a safe and inclusive space for exploration and growth. Join Kate Jenkins for a journey of mindful movement, self-discovery, and deep relaxation.
