Ashtanga & Vinyasa Yoga teacher Katie Baki

Sup yogis!

I am an E-RYT 500! If you’re not familiar with what an E-RYT 500 is, no worries, I’ll explain.

According to Yoga Alliance standards, the “E” stands for “Experienced,” because I have been teaching yoga full-time for over 8 years. I taught in Los Angeles for 7 years, and I currently teach for Yoga Glo. I lead retreats all around the world, and I also lead Yoga Teacher Trainings, both virtually and in-person.

The “RYT” stands for “Registered Yoga Teacher,” which means I’ve undergone training under a Yoga Alliance School to become a yoga teacher. In fact, I’ve been a student in many different trainings! My specialty is Vinyasa, but I am also trained in Yin, Yoga Sculpt, and even Reiki II.

The “500” means that I have 500+ hours of training. Essentially, an E-RYT 500 is the highest level of yoga training—humble brag. I have studied under Noah Mazé, Peach Friedman, and Rocky Heron, and because of my amazing teachers, I fell in love with anatomy, alignment, and mechanics— which shows in my classes. But as much I love teaching the foundations, I also encourage curiosity, creativity, and playfulness in my classes. Here’s why: the teacher is definitely an important guiding figure, but the practice of yoga comes from within, and only YOU know what feels good in your body.

I would describe my teaching style as laidback and conversational. I have fun while I teach, and I quite enjoy teaching! So we laugh a bit in my classes, and dare I say… we have fun. Call me non-traditional, but my favorite music to flow to has been, and always will be, Hip-Hop. If you play Drake in your classes, you will forever have my heart. I believe that yoga should be practiced with serious dedication and devotion, but with a light-hearted approach.
