Katya Danko

Katya is deeply passionate about movement in all its forms, with a lifelong foundation in dance and yoga. After more than 20 years of experience in dance and choreography, yoga opened an exciting new path for her to explore the connection between movement, mind, and body. Her practice has transformed not only the way she moves on the dance floor, but also the way she moves through life.

After completing her 200-hour teacher training with Three Sisters Yoga, Katya began teaching with a style heavily influenced by her background in dance and choreography. Her classes are known for their creative sequencing, thoughtful transitions, and innovative approach to asana. Katya loves designing beat-driven playlists to flow it out to and occasionally enhances her workshops and specialty classes with sound healing baths, creating immersive experiences with music that encourage both intentional movement and the calming of the nervous system.

Through continued studies in the biomechanics of stretching with Jules Mitchell, along with ongoing hands-on assist trainings at Kala Yoga and Kula Yoga Project, Katya brings a strong focus on anatomy, alignment, and intelligent muscle engagement into her teaching. She is known for her intentional and intuitive hands-on assists that help guide students to a deeper relationship with their practice.

In her classes, students are encouraged to explore new ways of building strength, stability, and body awareness while supporting healthy alignment. Katya is committed to creating a safe, playful, and welcoming environment where students of all levels can feel confident, supported, and inspired to find joy in their practice—both on and off the mat.
