Kat Harvey-Barakat is the person you need to meet if you think yoga is for pussies. Her strength and knowledge in the practice of yoga, life and her general bad-ass attitude makes you just want to sit and listen to her for hours. Here's almost a whole hour of me doing that.
02:00 My introduction to yoga through adversity.
05:00 Embracing complete stillness and lack of comparison.
7:00 Yoga is defined as the journey of the self, through the self, to the self. Shit gets deep real quick.
10:00 Rejecting the conditioning that we were born with and current social paradigms.
15:30 Kat's history in competitive dance, finding yoga through injury.
24:00 The importance of educating the mind and body, how Kat puts together sessions that truly take you on a spiritual and physical journey.
26:00 Self doubt and the reassurance in realizing you and your fears are not alone.
30:00 The Oneness: finding your commonality between yourself and all other living things.
37:00 Kat takes us through a seated but incredibly challenging pose that fucks your shit right up. Don't perform while driving.
40:00 Where you can (and should) find Kat H.B.
