Katie Ribsam is a 500 hour Experienced, Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT500) with Yoga Alliance.
A Bohemian at heart, Katie is a globe trotting, earth loving, cultural adventurer and spiritual explorer who has spent her life dreaming (and finding) ways to connect deeper with the people, planet and the infinite. With well over half of her life as a practicing yogi, Katie spent 3 years as an apprentice of the Power Yoga discipline and recently went “back to school” to study in India with internationally renowned teacher trainer Raghunath Cappo. As a yoga instructor, Katie draws from diverse styles such as Vinyasa, Yin, Restore and Hatha. As creator of the “Wave Method” for creative sequencing, Katie’s seamlessly teachers well balanced and creative flows designed to leave students with a holistic physical & energetic experience. This method of sequencing has also been applied to both Yin and Restore classes taking out the sometimes choppy or stale approach to how postures are woven together and replaced with seamless and fluid transitions in space. While physical asana is a core component of how Katie leads her classes, don’t be fooled. The physical practice is just the gateway to what lies beneath: the spiritual and emotional depth that sets this practice apart. With her main love being mama earth and with over well over a decade of environmental education experience under her belt; Katie has also developed an expertise in the up-and-coming Eco-Yoga field. Beach Yoga, SUP Yoga, Yoga Hikes, Yoga Retreats- you name it- connecting students to the environment through yoga is Katie’s specialty.
Katie has taught 9 classes of 200 hour trainees graduating over 100 students and is currently teaching her 2nd 300 hour training program.
You can find Katie at one of her 2 Long Beach Island New Jersey studios, Yoga Bohemia - one in Surf City and one in Beach Haven, or on one of her global yoga retreats. Katie currently leads yoga retreats in such inspiring places as Belize, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, St. John USVI, Kenya, Morocco and of course the motherland- India!
