Kate Casey

Kate has been practicing yoga on and off since the age of 13, becoming serious about a commitment to her practice in 2008, and has been teaching regularly since 2013. Thanks to the encouragement of her teachers over the years, she has recognized that yoga is more than just a way to become ‘bendy’. Kate uses yoga as a tool to cultivate deep emotional wellness and personal connection. With a post-baccalaureate level education in medical sciences, she has a strong understanding of anatomy and physiology. Kate’s teaching style is alignment based, using foundational ashtanga postures and sequences and incorporates modifications based on each student’s unique ability. She blends her medical science background and yogic philosophies to structure classes that are safe, challenging, and inquisitive. Kate also has additional trauma-informed training through Firefly International. Kate’s mission is to provide a safe and relaxing environment for all students, integrating the physical practice of yoga with philosophical traditions of deeper self-inquiry. Kate teaches locally in and around Manitowoc county. After finishing her formal training she taught regularly at Bay Area Yoga Center in Green Bay from 2015-2022 and has been on staff at Waves Yoga Studio in Manitowoc since 2021. She regularly teaches private groups and also, unexpectedly, she fills the local niche for animal-friendly yoga classes. Kate teaches a regular, cat-centric fundraising class for the Lakeshore Humane Society in Manitowoc, which carries the namesake of her business. And in the summertime she enjoys teaching outdoor yoga, with or without goats! In her spare time, Kate enjoys the quiet moments of life, spending time with her family at home, practicing meditation, reading, and walking in nature.
