ABOUT ME
I’m Katherine Shapiro, a movement educator with over 18 years of experience teaching yoga, Pilates, and dance in New York City and the Hamptons.
I was born in Boston and raised in the U.S., France, Belgium, and Denmark. My multicultural upbringing and extensive travels helped shape my belief in the deep connection we all share. That understanding inspires both how I live and how I teach.
My path began with dance and Pilates and deepened through yoga, meditation, and spiritual study. I teach from a place of mindfulness and compassion, blending movement with meaning—especially important in today’s often chaotic world.
In my classes, I offer a personalized, inclusive approach. Whether you’re seeking restorative yoga, gentle movement, or a more active practice, I guide each student with care, creativity, and intelligent sequencing. My goal is to help you feel strong, balanced, and present.
I hold a BFA in Dance from SUNY Purchase and am registered with Yoga Alliance as an E-RYT 500 and YACEP (Continuing Education Provider). My teaching certificates include ISHTA Yoga, Yoga Shanti, and YogaWorks, where I served as a Senior Pilates and Yoga Teacher. I studied and taught at the Original NYC Pilates Studio under the legendary Romana Kryzanowska.
WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING
I met Katherine 3 years ago and I am so grateful I did. At that moment I was a 62 year old woman with osteoporosis who was at the end of a long recovery from a shattered patella. I began my pilates sessions tentatively both physically and mentally. Three years later I have never been stronger. Walking the streets of NYC which I love and do daily and for good distances, I feel secure, strong and confident and that is all thanks to Katherine. She is tremendously knowledgeable about women's bodies. She always listens to me and checks in throughout the sessions. She is a wonderful teacher, communicator and collaborator. I have always felt safe in her care which allows me to try things and challenge myself. What good fortune it was to find Katherine and be able to work with her these past few years. Feel so lucky.

“Just a few words on my experience practicing with Katherine Shapiro, AKA ‘YogaKats,’Katherine is a kind and thoughtful teacher. Her instructions lead her students to ever improved alignment. As a practicing yogi for 30+ years,I feel that my form has gotten even better under her watchful eye. Her classes are warm,fun and collegial. I always look forward to our practice. Katherine is a gem!”

“I am a senior and have worked with Katherine in private and class sessions for over 10 years to address my osteoporosis. She is very knowledgeable about the body and exercises for strengthening — coupled with careful and safe practice. Katherine is caring, supportive, professional, and dependable, with a friendly and approachable manner.” — E. Christian
