About
Katie Scanlon-Gehn is a mother of 3, a dedicated yoga practitioner, community builder and an aspiring writer. Katie has been practicing ashtanga vinyasa yoga since 1998 and was authorized to teach by her teacher David Garrigues after 7 years of study with him. Katie’s yoga school; the Spokane Yoga Shala, has been growing and providing ashtanga yoga in Spokane, WA for nearly a decade. Katie is also a student of Hanna Somatics in the lineage of Thomas Hanna. She integrates this work into her yoga classes as a way of developing awareness of core strength and movement, learning how to lengthen muscles safely and bringing the focus of asana back to a tool for healing.
In 2011 Katie partnered with Mindi Finch to start Yoga People Care, an organization that raises money and awareness through local yoga communities for Childhood Cancer.
