Owner of

Earth & Aerial Yoga 

Kat Scalora is the co-founder and Managing Director of Earth & Aerial Yoga (established 2019). She has been practicing yoga for over 25 years and teaching for nearly 10 years. She has led thousands of yoga and aerial yoga classes, and has trained over 50 aerial yoga teachers.

Katharine is the co-founder and Managing Director of Earth & Aerial Yoga, and she is the visionary behind the Earth & Aerial Yoga Teacher Training program. Over the past decade, she has led thousands of traditional and aerial yoga classes, and, since 2018, she has trained and mentored dozens of aerial yoga instructors, 17 of whom currently teach at our studio.

Katharine’s journey into yoga began in 1999 as a student, and her enthusiasm for the benefits of both traditional and aerial yoga has only deepened over the years, through continuous study and exploration of new ideas and research. She has made a lifelong commitment to learning and has studied yoga, biomechanics and strength training under notable figures in the field, including Jules Mitchell, Kathryn Bruni-Young and Jacqui Bonwell. While she revels in guiding aerial yoga classes, her true passion lies in training others to become skilled aerial yoga instructors.

Her teaching style is focused on providing a safe and mindful experience through precise cueing and careful observation, while simultaneously encouraging her students to embrace a sense of playfulness and curiosity. Katharine motivates you to push yourself both physically and mentally, ensuring that you’re well-equipped to deliver an exceptional experience to your future students. Under her expert guidance, you’ll have the opportunity to nurture your teaching skills throughout and beyond the formal training hours.
