Workshop Description
Like buds preparing to open, spring invites our bodies to expand in full glory. Join Kate/Hanspal for this special backbending class focusing on creating freedom in the upper back and shoulders. Starting with gentle opening in the torso and wrists, we will then move on to deeper opening in the thoracic spine and shoulders. By working with the alignment of the hands and shoulders, as well as stability in the low back, we will explore backbending from a place of comfort and safety. This practice will emphasize expansion, both physically and emotionally, and will close with a beautiful heart-opening meditation. Leave this workshop feeling open to all that life and summer have to offer!

Kate Greer
Kate or Hanspal Kaur tries to offer from her heart in everything she does.
Kate is a senior teacher based in Boston, where she teaches public classes, workshops, retreats and teacher trainings. Trained in Vinyasa, Anusara and Kundalini Yoga, she now studies with Scott Blossom, Chandra Easton and Matt Pesendian. She is deeply honored to be a co-leader of teacher trainings at Back Bay Yoga, and humbled by her students daily.
Along with her husband, Richmond Dickson, Kate founded Open Hearts, a traveling yoga school that offers retreats and teacher trainings both domestically and abroad. Before her return to Boston, Kate lived and taught in New York City and Tallahassee, FL. Kate's greatest life adventures are her partner, Richmond, and their son, Kahlil, born Spring 2009. She learns immeasurably from both of them, as well as her inspiring students.
Kate received her Vinyasa certification from Sonic Yoga in NYC, where she continued her Vinyasa study primarily at Kula Yoga Project in Tribeca and with Sri Dharma Mittra. Kate is also Anusara-Inspired and a certified Kundalini Yoga Instructor.
Her discovery of Anusara yoga came with an injury that required her to take a deeper look at alignment and in that process she found the Tantric non-duality of body and spirit that is present in both Anusara and Kundalini. Kate's Anusara studies have been with John Friend, Darren Rhodes, Noah Maze, Elena Brower and Amy Ippoliti.
Kate's first Kundalini class was with Gurmukh Kaur Khalsa — who, along with Kundalini Yoga, touched her heart and her life. Kate continued to take Kundalini classes at Golden Bridge Yoga with Hari Kaur Khalsa and in August 2008 she attended a one-month intensive teacher training at 'Yogi Bajan's Ranch' with the beautiful Sikh community in Espanola, NM. Since then she has assisted another Level One training as a trainer-in-training with her teachers Guruatma Singh and Prem Pyar Khalsa of Franklin Yoga, in Franklin MA, and hopes to begin her Level Two studies with them this year. kategreeryoga.com
