Classes and tutorials to learn about training, feel confident using new equipment and build your strength.
Most people are a lot stronger than they think they are, they just need some help getting there. Our classes and programs will help you progress to heavier weights, build up your capacity and learn how to tune in, to help you go further in your training.
With our tailored classes that prioritize strength-building, muscle/bone mass development, cardio, and recovery, we offer a compelling alternative to grueling fitness regimens that can leave you feeling depleted.
“The Mindful Strength Membership classes always leave me feeling fantastic! A great approach to strength, mobility, and full-body movement. Highly recommend for just about anyone.”
– Jessica Tateishi

Kathryn is a yoga teacher, turned powerlifter, turned strength and conditioning coach who runs a small countryside gym as well as global online programs. Kathryn’s specialty is applying ultra-progressive, step-by-step approaches to lifting weights, starting cardio, running, and training for big goals in smaller chunks.
She coaches clients from their 20’s to 80’s and has helped complete beginners progress to lifting heavy weights, building the strength to not only feel less fragile, but live life to the fullest. Kathryn’s coaching has been strongly influenced by her own experience as a competitive lifter, as well as her background in mindfulness and more recent education in pain science.
Her unconventional approach works incredibly well for clients who have felt judged or uneasy in fitness spaces in the past. Kathryn’s goal is to bring out the best in her students, whether it’s running their first mile, learning a pull-up, building bone density or summiting that epic mountain.
