Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I am a 200-Hr Experienced Certified Yoga Instructor (E-RYT 200), Yoga Alliance Registered Teacher and Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider (YACEP) with almost 5 years experience and over 1,200 teaching hours just for yoga (post-training). I offer private yoga lessons, as well as private meditation or guided breathing techniques (pranayama) sessions. Additionally, I'm certified in chair yoga and offer aquatic yoga as well for those with limited mobility or who are just starting out in yoga. I'm available to travel in the downtown Chicago area, giving you the option of the comfort & convenience of your own space in any of the fitness facilities/common areas in your apartment, condo building, workplace or hotel, OR I can provide the training site, my building in Streeterville where you can work out at a fully-equipped, brand new fitness facility, including a yoga studio and group exercise studio. I have taught group fitness classes (Yoga, Bootcamp, Total Body Conditioning, Spin) at several downtown high-rise residences (73 E. Lake, Axis Apartments & Lofts, The Streeter, 600 N. McClurg/333 E. Ontario, Jones, etc.) and I also have several private clients I work with in the downtown/Streeterville/Gold Coast area. I specialize in building lean and tone muscles, stretching/flexibility development, strength building through light weight training, body alignment awareness, posture enhancement and balance improvement. My job is to help you lose weight, tone up your muscles, and increase your cardiovascular endurance, all while reducing tension, increasing your range of motion and preventing injuries. I can design a tailored and personalized yoga practice for your individual body abilities to meet your specific needs and to help you attain your wellness goals, building on your strengths and focusing on your desired improvement areas, while taking into account any illness or injuries (previous and current) and both work around them, as well as help rehab them in their recovery period. I have overcome my own past injuries from my athletic career, and I have personal experience and understanding of how to properly strengthen the body after an injury and during recovery. My normal pricing is $75/hour for yoga private lessons. However, I offer a special for new clients: TWO 1-Hour Private Yoga Sessions for $100 to see if we are a good match for yoga practice before deciding on continuing. Discounts are given for purchases of 6, 10, 15, 30, or 40 sessions paid in advance. Please contact me for pricing on those packages. Additionally, I do semi-private yoga lessons for either 2, 3, or 4 people at a time, as well as large group (5-50 people) yoga and/or guided meditation & pranayama (breathing techniques) classes for special events (birthdays, bachelorette parties, etc.), hotels, high-rises for residents, businesses/corporate wellness for employees, etc. Please contact me for those rates, which have new client specials and session packages as well.

Katie is trained in so many different disciplines and she worked a variety into our sessions. She also pushed me to go beyond what I thought I could do and, to my great surprise, I was almost always able to do what she asked. I will add that she realized I had limitations and did not push me beyond what she saw was my limit. Katie has a delightful personality, which made the sessions even more pleasant. I have hated exercise my entire life (I'm 72) so for me to sing the praises of a personal trainer is saying a lot!!!

I have trained with Katie for 9 months on a regular basis, doing yoga, personal training, and most recently, gymnastics. I most enjoy her ingenuity, innovation for exercises, always coming up with something different and new. You are never bored and she can train for anything with a positive attitude. She has a vast knowledge of different areas of exercise and fitness. She makes working out fun and interesting and less monotonous. You could train with her every day and be satisfied.

When I started doing yoga with Katie, I had never practiced yoga before, and I had only recently started working out. Honestly, I actually hated exercising. My previous trainer had been cancelling on me, and I was looking for someone who would be reliable and professional about respecting their work engagement. Katie has great work ethics, and has never canceled on me. My job is stressful, I am often standing, with my head leaning forward. i was starting to have neck and shoulder pain. I was looking for a way to stretch, but also to strengthen my core muscles, while working on posture. With these goals in mind, Katie developed yoga and work out sessions that are adapted to my needs. I now feel in better shape than I ever did! I enjoy working out with Katie because she motivates me at improving myself. Her challenges are always within my reach. She has a genuine positive attitude, and is really dedicated at helping her "students" reach their goals, whatever their goals are. I highly recommend Katie for yoga or personal training!

I started working with Katie because I needed more individualized attention than I was getting in regular yoga classes. Katie has given me customized instruction that works incredibly well for me rather than just a canned routine. I’d highly recommend her to anyone.
