Please welcome Kathy Van Patten to the podcast today!
Kathy has always been a teacher, but she didn't come into the world of pilates and GYROTONIC® teacher until later in her life. Even so she has owned and sold multiple studios throughout her career including GYROTONIC® Boston, GYROTONIC® Pacific Heights (now the Seed Center) and now she currently owns and operates GYROTONIC® Healdsburg.
Kathy takes us on her journey from teacher, to movement teacher, to studio owner, to master movement teacher in this episode. We also discuss the difficult balance of putting in the hard work and knowing when to let things move organically on their own. We also discuss the ingredients that make up the best movement teachers and how Kathy balances owning her current studio with her extensive teacher trainer travel schedule.
Kathy spoke some wonderful words of encouragement to me back in 2013 that I have held onto ever since. I was so excited when she accepted my invite to be on the podcast because I knew she would provide the same encouragement to you!
InJoy!
