Kat Cogswell Demary

Kat graduated from the 200-Hour Bonfire Hot Yoga Apprenticeship Program in June of 2022.  Seth Brown guided her through this training, focusing on the Ghosh Yoga 26 & 2 Classic Series.  Kat extends gratitude to Seth for his wisdom, flexibility, & patience so she could begin this journey of teaching.   

Practicing Hot Yoga & Vinyasa has been part of Kat's routine since 2011. While in teacher training, she enjoyed studying the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, delving into the ethical practices of Yoga (Yamas & Niyamas book by Deborah Adele) & continuing to find peace & harmony through daily yoga practice in the Hot Room.  She would like to thank Isabel Falcon for helping her find joy & sobriety through Sound Healings & Kundalini yoga practice over the last few years.

Through the magical guidance of Angee Franzen, Kat has learned more about the ancient wisdom and heart opening practice of Kundalini Yoga.  Beginning in January 2024 Kat will be training through Radiant Body Yoga with Kia Miller, including the Ignite Your Inner Flame workshop series, studying the Bhagavad Gita, Kundalini practices, & working toward the 200 Hour RBY Teacher Training in October-December 2024.

Kat, originally from The Columbia River Gorge area, has been on stage in the performing arts since the age of 5. She has traveled to the East Coast to receive a Bachelor's Degree in Music & performed in New York City for several years before moving back to the Northwest to start a family & raise two sons. 

Kat loves her life in Portland & is grateful for her musical duo with her husband.  Kat's two sons have given her experience in teaching life lessons. Kat is grateful for so much support from her entire family, three fur-babies, & extended family at the yoga studio.
