Kathy began practicing Iyengar yoga in 2004 when a friend suggested she take a class to help her manage pain from a back injury. It was then that she realized the possibility of alleviating pain through the method, sequencing, and alignment of Iyengar yoga.

The side effect was a gradual and peaceful state of mind noticed after every class and the desire to understand why. Seeing the importance of sequencing, attention to body awareness, alignment with the clarity of instruction found in Iyengar yoga and her past dance experience resonated with her desire to become a teacher.

She has studied at the RIMYI Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India and continues to learn from many Senior Iyengar teachers worldwide.

Roger Richter began his yoga journey in the mid-1980s after sustaining an injury. Through the Iyengar method, he discovered not only physical rehabilitation, but a disciplined path of inward study. Since that time, yoga has remained a steady foundation in his life—strengthening the body while cultivating awareness and resilience.

Roger began his formal study of alignment-based yoga with Gabriel Halpern in Chicago, where his passion for structural clarity and intelligent action first took root. After moving to Miami in 1990, he continued his studies with Bobbi Golden, Colleen Gallagher, Dean and Rebecca Lerner, James Murphy, Pom Cayeiro, and many other influential teachers who deepened his understanding of the method.

After decades of dedicated practice, Roger earned his CIYT Level 1 certification in 2016. He remains committed to ongoing study and refinement, bringing to his classes both lived experience and respect for the precision and integrity of the Iyengar tradition

Marisó de Colsa is a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher (Level II) who practiced yoga for most of her life before transitioning from a career in the corporate world to teaching. Inspired early on by her grandmother, a beloved yoga teacher in Mexico, she developed a lasting connection to the practice.

She fell deeply committed to Iyengar Yoga after recovering full range of motion from a frozen shoulder through disciplined, alignment-based work. Experiencing firsthand the method’s transformative effects strengthened her dedication and led her to share its physical, mental, and spiritual benefits with others.

Like all certified Iyengar teachers, Marisó continues her studies with the Iyengar family and senior teachers worldwide. Her special focus is Yoga for Stronger Bones. After sustaining a fracture related to osteoporosis, she committed herself to researching and studying how to practice safely and effectively to improve bone density, build muscle mass, and reduce fracture risk. Her teaching combines precision, care, and informed guidance, particularly for students concerned with bone health and longevity.
