Kate Keenan

Kate is a Raleigh native who grew up playing all kinds of sports. During college, she craved the feeling of being strong and athletic and returned to group fitness, but disliked the culture of most fitness studios and gyms. ENTER YOBA!

The emphasis on body respect, positive community, and taking care of yourself and others is what drew Kate in when she moved back home in 2019 and she hasn't looked back!

When Kate was ready to take on Yoga Teacher Training, she knew the only place to go was YoBa and was grateful to be led by Sam and Nikki. She looks forward to sharing her love of movement, intentional connection to breath, and joy for life with you!

What role does music play in your life?
