Dear Beautiful Yoga Community,

Thank you for a wonderful beach yoga season, my heart is overflowing with gratitude. Every morning stretch, every breath in rhythm, and every shared smile has been a gift beyond measure.

Together, we created something more than yoga on the sand—we created sacred space. A place where stillness met the lake, where laughter soared with the eagles, and where hearts connected beneath the open sky. Your presence, your energy, and your openness brought this season to life.  

Thank you for showing up—for yourselves, for each other, and for the collective spirit of our community. Thank you for braving cool mornings, sunny mornings and shifting sands. Thank you for sharing your light and helping weave the magic that makes beach yoga so special. 

As the weather continues to cool, move indoors with me to practice yoga that will carry us gracefully through the winter and into spring. You can catch my classes at It’s Your Journey in Huron, Amherst Healthplex and the Studio at Doc Watson in Amherst.

Until the next beach yoga season, may you carry the serenity of the lake and the warmth of the sun in your heart,

Katie Carp

About Katherine (Katie) Carp

Katie Carp (RYT 500) started practicing Hatha Vinyasa yoga, after she was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2011.   Katie walked into her very first yoga class and learned that for one hour and fifteen minutes she could stop fighting herself.  Her yoga mat became a place where it was ok to forget the struggles and to just be.  She started teaching yoga to create a space where people could experience this feeling.  A moment in time to feel Strength, Confidence and Serenity just as they are. Sound has been an important part of her journey, she incorporates singing bowls into her classes.  The notes of a singing bowl linger in the air long after the bowl is played.  The soothing vibrations allow for a deeper meditative experience.
