Yal HeidariMy first class with Katja today. I would highly recommend trying out a class or a course. Katja creates a lovely atmosphere for all to practice at a level suitable for them. It was a great pace and I did not feel rushed. Highly recommend.

Angela MurrayI've just completed the 6-week beginner yoga course with Katja. It was a brilliant introduction to yoga and moved at the perfect pace. We covered a lot, but it never felt rushed. Katja took the time to help us individually when we were a bit unsure about the moves and created a lovely atmosphere for the group. If you're new to yoga, as I was, this is an excellent course. I'm looking forward to trying future courses with Zest for Yoga.

Soraya SyedKatja is an exceptional yoga teacher who strikes the perfect balance between physical challenge and mindful relaxation. Her classes are non-competitive, thoughtfully designed and suitable for all levels. Katja encourages her students to push their limits, especially in approaching tricky balancing poses, while also guiding them to focus on subtler aspects like breathwork and energy flow. Her passion for yoga and dedication to helping students improve is truly commendable. For anyone looking to deepen their practice, Katja’s classes are highly recommended!

Nimmi IyerKatja Patel is an excellent teacher who knows how to make the students feel at ease giving variations suiting everyone's body types. She starts with simple conditioning, then an opening prayer, loosening practices followed by asanas/sun salutations and ending it with deep relaxation. I recently attended her Restorative Class during the October term break and it was just what I needed being a yoga teacher myself. I was recovering from a neck injury and all I needed was some relaxation. With just 6 simple postures in the late evening, the whole class relaxed. We were about a group of 10 students at 7:30pm in the evening. Thanks Katja. I would definitely recommend her for any kind of class - yoga or restorative or pregnancy. Please hold more such restorative classes during term breaks.
