Katy Hoogendam

Katy graduated from e84yoga 26&2 training in 2020 and is currently on her way to completing the e84 intermediate/84 Asanas TT program. 
.
Katy started practicing Bikram yoga (26&2) in February of 2017, determined to heal from lifelong rheumatoid arthritis and chronic pain (diagnosed at 10 months old). The more she practiced bikram yoga the better she felt and soon fell in love with this therapeutic practice; becoming her passion and daily medicine. Now her symptoms are very minimal and under control; less drugs, more plants, more yoga, minimal stress = happier life. 
.
Katy currently travels around the world teaching yoga, continueing her yoga education, and competes in the USA yoga competitions; completing her 3rd national USA yoga competition in San Diego this July 2024. 
.
It brings Katy so much joy to share this healing practice with the world and hopes to inspire others to not give up on their dreams.
