Through coloring books & live storytelling experiences for kids & adults who are kids at heart.
Yoga that follows a story is more engaging &
can cultivate our feelings of connection to all beings everywhere.

Meet Katherine the Kathankathinka
Kula Tales founder, Dr. Katherine Guevara RYT 200, is a kathankathinka - the Sanskrit (original language of Yoga) word for an inquisitive person or one who is always asking questions. While training as a yoga instructor, she became curious about creating thematic sequences that followed a story. She wondered: If stories are didactic (they teach us something), ancestral (as old as time), easier & arguably more enjoyable to remember & culturally significant, why aren't they used more for yoga to link thoughtfully-selected poses together for a purpose? Oral traditions have been expressed through dance, music, art & weaving - so why not yoga? Her first attempt to do this became her signature sequence celebrating our connection with nature - Garden Body - which went over so well it evolved into coloring books & Kula Tales! When not working in academia, you can find Katherine in the garden with her beloved pet chickens where she offers Zen Hen Chicken Yoga.
Our Team Kukkuttees
Katherine feels the strongest connection with nature when she's in the garden with her beloved Kukkuttees (Sanskrit for chickens) doing chicken yoga (yup - it's like goat yoga, but with chickens). If you cluck very, very nicely, you can join us for Zen Hen Chicken Yoga.
