Kathy (Rekha) Hogan has been practicing yoga for 37 years. She has a 500 hour certification having competed Level I and Level II Amrit Yoga teacher training as well as Yoga Nidra Facilitator Training through the Amrit Yoga Institute http://www.amrityoga.org/ She is a 500 RYT member of Yoga Alliance. Kathy has also lead “yoga hikes” taking yoga off the mat and onto the trails of our beautiful Hudson Highlands. She is also a Level I Reiki practitioner.

She found her true spiritual path after practicing yoga for many years. An inspirational little booklet was given to her by her first yoga teacher in 1976 titled Love is Like the Sun by Yogi Amrit Desai. After 30 years of referring to that little booklet in times of need she was finally able to meet Amrit Desai and study with him. He is now her spiritual guide and Guru. She is dedicated to sharing the teachings that have been passed down to her through the Lineage of Yoga Masters.

“All problems come to you for a purpose,

To teach you a specific lesson.

When you fear problems you lose

an opportunity to learn the lesson.

When you look at them without fear,

You grow through the lesson they teach.

Welcome problems as a gift -

A gift which makes life constantly stimulating,

constantly fresh and filled

with ever-unfolding challenges.”

Yogi Amrit Desai
