I really enjoyed the session with Katie. She is a such a warm-hearted person who is passionate about helping others to bring calm and healing to their lives. I’m looking forward to attending more of her sessions.

Group & Private Classes

It was a wonderful experience. Katie had an amazing energy that made people feel at ease especially if it was the first time doing Yoga. This class gave the body a lovely gentle stretch out and encouraged us to think about our bodies own natural movements.

Katie is very welcoming and made everyone feel comfortable, the level of yoga was aimed at all levels and I can highly recommend it.

I loved it, it was so relaxing and Katie was really informative throughout the whole class.

To be honest Yoga it’s not something I ever saw myself doing. I think this was based on two main thoughts: firstly, I thought other forms of exercise were more beneficial, secondly, (enforced by media stereotype) I considered it to be for girls. I can wholeheartedly admit I was wrong and naive. Firstly, it’s a fantastic form of exercise (with other benefits too), supplementing my fitness regime perfectly. Secondly, once you’re on your mat it’s not about anyone else, therefore any gender specification is irrelevant. For that reason (I believe) Katie’s classes have people of all genders, all ages, everyone’s welcome, everyone has fun, and everyone comes back each week with a smile on their face. (Although not having realised this… my first group class I brought my girlfriend for company (and protection). Needless to say I didn’t really need her and I fitted in perfectly.) I started yoga due to back issues, but looking back I shouldn’t have waited for that to be the main reason I joined – I genuinely wish I’d joined sooner.

I love Katie’s yoga classes! Katie has a great knack of making you feel welcome and at ease. The sessions themselves are challenging yet fun, no matter what level you are and are as much about your head space as they are about your body. When I started going to Katies classes I had lower back pain for quite some time. She was fantastic at advising how to iron out the niggles, which poses would help and which to take it easy on. I’ve been pain-free on my back for some time now and a big part of that is down to Katie’s classes.

I started going to Katie’s yoga classes just over a year ago, after I mentioned my aches and pains to my doctor. He agreed that yoga was a great idea – and now I recommend it to all my friends, especially the ex-sportsmen! I must admit I was a little apprehensive at first, but Katie is brilliant; she immediately makes you feel comfortable, gives variations for every posture (great for beginners like me) and has an incredible wealth of knowledge and teaching experience. The classes are a mix of men and women, of all abilities and ages (I would estimate from 18 to 75 years old), so if you think yoga is intimidating or only for women or for a certain ‘type’ of person, you stand to be corrected! Having played a lot of sport in my younger days (including Muratti football, softball, cricket and running), I can certainly vouch for the benefits and I’m delighted to say that I can continue to enjoy golf, bowls and cycling. I have fewer aches, my flexibility is better, my core is stronger and my overall wellbeing has improved significantly too. I only wish I had found yoga sooner!

I have been going to Katie’s restorative yoga classes at Beaucamps School for the last couple of years. I have several chronic illnesses:- Fibromyalgia, Myofascial Pain Syndrome, Adrenal Fatigue and others. No matter how I feel when I go in, I feel so much better when I come out. There is something so special about doing this class with other people, you can almost hear everyone relax and get grounded. I had the pleasure of having a private restorative yoga session by Katie with my best friend to celebrate a special birthday and it was such a treat which I highly recommend. My friend had never experienced that level of relaxation before as it was her first experience of restorative yoga and it did us both so much good. Our favourite phrase as we go through life’s journey is “She let go”, so Katie’s words continue to inspire us every day. Katie is a wonderful human being and it is my pleasure to have her involvement and help in my healing journey.

Staff here at Rothschild & Co are loving our weekly lunchtime Corporate Yoga with Katie, as part of our health and wellbeing initiatives. Katie’s an amazing teacher who makes us smile every Tuesday. The classes are different each week and designed to enable staff to take a break from the desk and stretch out tense shoulders and necks. Katie has a warm soothing voice combined with the ability to guide us into the right postures to suit individual abilities. By the end of the class we have totally relaxed our bodies and minds and feel ready for another afternoon at the office. If only we could do it every day!

I have loved working with Katie as my Yoga Teacher for the past 3 years. She is a great teacher and is also a beautiful human being to spend time with. At times I lead a busy and high stress existence so having Katie in my corner is just what I need to keep thriving. She has an amazing intuition to know exactly what I need when I need it. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

(Private Yoga)

Our team always look forward to our weekly sessions with Katie, it gives us a chance to take a break from our busy days and destress then return to our desks feeling chilled, relaxed and ready to carry on the day! No matter how we are feeling that day Katie’s warm nature and positive energy really lifts the mood in the room, she never fails to make us smile. As beginners to Yoga, there have been times when we have looked on in bemusement as Katie demonstrated poses, however with her encouragement and guidance we have been able to develop our yoga so our bodies really can get in to those interesting and amazing positions! We could not of asked for a better Yoga instructor, with an unbelievable amount of experience, Katie really is a true inspiration.

Administrator, Human Resources (Corporate Yoga)

Thank you for just being you Katie, making me feel comfortable and introducing me to the wonderful world of yoga. I appreciate the physical side of it, but had never imagined that the other things like the breathing, relaxing and just giving time to myself would prove to be so significant for me. I hope you realise how much of a difference you have made towards my wellbeing and I’m sure to numerous others in the island.

I came to Katie’s yoga class as a complete beginner 3 years ago. From a warm welcome to gentle encouragement her classes have taken me on a lovely journey. The beginners classes give an excellent grounding for the basics and now makes me think more about my postures. The Tuesday class a deeper practice with lots of options ,for all levels, on the best position for the individual. Lastly a deep relaxation is the perfect end to a class.

Katie is an excellent, fun loving and enthusiastic Yoga teacher. I am a 64 year old person who has played a lot of sport but never tried Yoga. Katie has an ability to encourage but not push beyond our limitations. She is a lovely gentle teacher. I would recommend anyone thinking of trying Yoga to attend one of Katie’s classes.

Lynne C

I have been to many yoga classes over many years, given by many teachers, and, unsurprisingly, as in all things, it is possible to categorise them within a spectrum (of excellence in teaching in this case). At one end are those that turn up, go through the motions, take the money and run. At the other end of the spectrum are teachers who are fundamentally excellent, for, not only do “they” go the extra mile, they encourage “you”, gently and subtly to do the same. The depth, breadth and width of their training and experience is obvious, but, far from allowing this to overcomplicate their teaching, they go beyond, to a functional simplicity of what is needed by this class, right here, in this moment. Katie Brock undoubtedly falls into this latter category. But don’t take my word for it ladies and gentlemen, pop along to the drop in class, and you’ll find that the cost is small, for what I believe will, over time, repair your soul and make you whole…if you allow it!

Katie has been teaching us yoga since May this year when we arrived on Guernsey. We have been doing private sessions and have joined the beginners group on a Monday evening. We have absolutely loved our yoga sessions with Katie; she is inspirational, patient, professional and kind. Our yoga sessions have become a very important part of our week and we we love seeing Katie when she arrives with a wonderful smile.

Graham & Susanna

I have been going to Katie’s Wednesday night classes at Beaucamps School for around 2 years. I attend several yoga classes a week and very much enjoy my Wednesday evenings with Katie (and the amazing view!). Attending Katie’s classes has enabled me to advance my yoga and I believe that I have progressed both mentally and physically in my practice over the past 2 years. Katie is a great teacher with the right amount of encouragement and understanding. I have totally fallen for yoga and Katie has been hugely influential in my practice. A big thank you to a lovely lady!

Cathy Risch

Katie is an amazing, natural teacher and has a brilliant ability to bring to the class just what is needed each week. I love that two classes are never the same and she always finds new ways to stretch your ability. She is such an inspirational person and brings a sense of harmony to each class, I always leave feeling so balanced and restored. I really treasure my weekly practice with Katie.

I first met Katie on her Back to Basics course earlier this year. I’d had a little yoga experience but was quite nervous about joining a class. She said it wasn’t about ego or what the person next to you can do, it was about us being in a room together, sharing our practice and that we’re all different – that’s when I knew I was in the right class! She’s an amazing teacher, a caring, inspirational person, always happy to share what she’s learnt from her own life experiences and give guidance and encouragement. I also attended Katie’s summer yoga retreat at the Fermain Valley Hotel, which was fabulous. To be able to further my yoga practice, enjoy relaxing treatments, make new friends and not have to return to the ‘real world’ just for a couple days was just what we alI needed. I can’t recommend her classes or retreats highly enough.

Claire Nicholson

Katie provides a space to retreat on a Wednesday evening at 6pm to relax and re-centre oneself which is most welcome after a busy, perhaps stressful day – a haven with beautiful aromas and gentle lighting. Her soft and compelling voice completes a truly unique experience. When you leave class you are whole once more and ready for whatever life presents!

Margaret M

I re-started my yoga practice a year ago and have undertaken two of Katie’s beginners courses, a two day retreat and various drop in classes. Katie is a wonderful teacher and a true inspiration. Her classes are structured and tailored to all different competencies and she gives constant support and direction. During the past year my practice has developed and grown and I am feeling the benefits physically, mentally and emotionally. Yoga has and continues to be such a positive in my live and truly gives me a sense of wellbeing, peace and calm. My journey with yoga and Katie is just beginning and I am looking forward to continuing my practice next year and beyond.

Candice Le T

Katie is an amazing teacher. She is inspirational as a person and wonderfully encouraging to her students. She has a gift for knowing what kind of practice is needed and is able to effortlessly create a beautiful set of asanas to suit. I wasn’t sure what to expect from private sessions but they have been the best treat I’ve given myself – and my experiences have ranged from getting fits of the giggles at the appearance of unexpected delivery men to quiet stillness and serious amazement at getting into my first headstand. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough.

Charlotte

(Private Yoga Class)

Katie is a very natural teacher and true inspiration. As a real beginner she taught me to be patient, believe I could improve and to never judge myself, she is incredibly motivating by encouraging and supporting in her class and teaches in a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Beckie Kelling

I was very lucky to meet Katie last year at the beginning of my pregnancy. I was looking for a very open person who could support my practice during this precious time and Katie was just the most wonderful person to meet. She has been a true support, adapting each session to my needs, my limits and my body which were changing all the time. But most importantly, Katie has helped me to connect with my baby and she acknowledged her presence all the time so it felt like we were three of us during our sessions. It was a great prelude to my baby’s arrival. Katie is a beautiful person, full of energy and light and I can only wish that each mother to-be has the chance to meet her.

As a bloke I was a little apprehensive about starting yoga as I only ever thought of it as being for girls! I need not have been so skeptical. In my first class with Katie I was surprised to see that almost half the class was actually male. Katie is a passionate individual and her infectious enthusiasm for all things yoga feeds through to her students. As a runner, Katie has taught me the importance of stretching and breathing properly. Both these aspects of yoga I have applied to my running which has transformed my energy levels, fitness and my ability to manage aches and pains. I have also experienced Katie’s ayuverdic massage which will leave you feeling supple like an olympic gymnast and more flexible than the state of Nevada’s gun laws. I wouldn’t plan anything for at least 3 hours after your massage as you will be far too relaxed to function!

Guy Brown

Katie is a very grounded teacher with a welcoming and warm disposition, gentle and calming, yet still facilitates to hold a safe space where I feel comfortable challenging myself to break through the limitations which my mind tries to protect – thank you for being the loving and inspirational soul that you are.

Kristine Garlan-Hando

Katie’s private classes leave us feeling restored mentally and physically. She tailors the selected breathing, movement and relaxation practices skilfully to our individual needs and we always sleep well afterwards! She encourages us to challenge ourselves within a warm and informal class atmosphere.

Helen

(Private Yoga Classes)

Katie has a natural warm, relaxed and caring teaching manner, just like her personality. She encourages her students without pushing them beyond their limits which ensures her classes are challenging, but also hugely enjoyable. Katie’s classes leave you relaxed and re-energised and with a smile on your face.

Alison Jones

Pre natal yoga with Katie was a very precious time in the months before my second baby. I have a toddler who kept me busy and an hour a week devoted to preparing for birth was very well spent. Katie helped me prepare my mind and body and thanks to her I found it much easier to slip into a relaxed state during my labour, breathe and channel my inner goddess! I have a very content and happy new baby too ❤️ thanks Katie!

Katie is a ray of sunshine and encouraging and patient in her teaching. She has a positive and relaxing nature and always has a big smile for everyone.

Jocelyn Cox

We had a fantastic private session at home for the family and were very pleased. Katie provided us with some incredibly helpful advice and specialised areas for us to work on. A lovely way to spend a family morning together!

Debbie Sebire

(Private family Yoga classes)

I love Katie’s classes, to me they are what yoga is all about, conscious nurturing and balancing – Katie’s beautiful soothing voice encourages each student to be comfortable within themselves and allows them the freedom to practise within their physical capabilities.

Angele Plimley

I began my yoga journey with Katie 4 months ago. She firstly gave me a fantastic massage and then I began regular private lessons with her in my home. Katie has taken me from having no experience at all to having the confidence to go to group classes and experience a variety of yoga with different teachers. I have laughed and cried on my mat. Katie makes me feel totally at ease and believe in myself. We have become good friends which is an added bonus. I absolutely love my yoga practices and its all down to her. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough. Anyone wishing to take up Yoga, do it, it’s life changing!
