“In Kathy’s classes I find a great balance between the physical practice of yoga, lighthearted fun, and spiritual insight. Kathy shares her knowledge and experience gained from the study of diverse fields. She is able to help her students relate yoga teachings and thought to their practices and lives. I always come away from her classes with a new piece of insight while remembering the important basics of practice.”  —Brook D.

“My life was forever changed 4 years ago when I decided to begin the practice of yoga at the studio of Kathy Holmes. Because of her unique style of teaching I willingly and rapidly  became a devotee. I learned to tone my body, to correct my posture, to meditate, to be confident and love myself and just ‘yoga’ my way out of mental and physical pain whenever I am stressed. It is the voice of Kathy Holmes I hear in my head that guides me whenever and wherever I practice. Kathy expertly guides her students while weaving her heart and spirit into each practice. We learn how to use our breath, to restore and balance our bodies and minds, to meditate and to accept the blessings she gifts to us at the end of each practice. I am grateful Kathy Holmes was placed in my path and I am especially grateful for the the peace and wisdom I experience daily because I accepted all she has to offer through her teachings. I am truly blessed. Thank you Kathy. Namaste.” —Angela

“Kathy is amazing! She has a way of always taking me to the next level, both physically and spiritually.” —K. Bush

“I have been practicing yoga for many years and have studied with many different teachers during that time. That being said, Kathy is an exceptionally gifted teacher that I would highly recommend. She has a gentle and nurturing way about her which translates to the studio and the practice. For me, yoga represents more than being able to perfect a pose…it is a whole body experience that encompasses the mind, body and spirit. And I really feel this when I take a class with Kathy. She guides you through the poses but makes you aware of what they mean on a deeper level. Her instruction has strengthened my practice and brought an aspect of spiritual understanding I did not have before.” —Kelly Money, New Hope, PA, Practicing yoga since 1995

In November 2007 I was on a yoga retreat in Mexico. While I was on the beach I got a phone call which was strange because I had no cell service for those 10 days. It was my friend Mark raving about the “Oneness Blessing”. Because of the auspicious way I received the call I knew (thank Grace) to pay attention.

A few days after I returned home I received my first Deeksha (blessing) from a Blessing Giver who graciously drove 45 minutes on a Monday night to share the blessing with me. I had him come and offer the Oneness Blessing to my students at the end of my yoga classes at my studio in Carversville PA. It has been an incredible and rapidly expanding journey ever since.

By the fall of 2008 I was in Fiji to be initiated as a Blessing Giver. This was the greatest journey I had taken thus far on my spiritual path. Yes I had taken many steps but this was a giant leap. These giant leaps have become the new pace of my spiritual growth. In 2009 I went back to Fiji for a Deepening process. I was then invited to India to become a Oneness Trainer in March of 2010. May 2011 I went back to the Oneness University in India for the 28 day Deepening Process.

Oneness for me is a beautiful path that goes beyond the point of self inquiry and growth. It is a process of un-learning leading back to the original starting place, to our true nature. That we are One. “I am That” I have devoted my practice and my purpose to serve and share this phenomena with those who are open to the experience (or just curious like me).

In loving service,

Kathy
