Katey Peck (she/her) is a space holder, storyteller, and dreamer. A white-bodied settler ally raised on the southern banks of the Patawomeck (Potomac) River, she is grateful to call Virginia, O'ahu, and now Seattle home. A seeker and forever student, Katey treasures and transmits the teachings of several schools, including yoga, circle facilitation, public health, and ʻāina (n. land, that which feeds). Her calling is to weave soft and courageous containers that support the healing of our bodies, lands, and communities.

Katey was introduced to postural yoga as a teenager, and over the past 15 years has committed to learning about the different genealogies and practices within this ecosystem of Indigenous wisdom. She most enjoys leading quiet, contemplative classes in the yin and restorative styles. Her approach to space-holding is rooted in and guided by land, embraces a trauma-informed praxis, and strives to be inclusive and responsive to as many bodies as possible. Her hopes for teaching are for all to feel welcomed and witnessed, attuned to their needs, and connected to the collective.

Lineage: I am humbled and inspired to be connected to many teachers, collaborators, and places. I resonate deeply with the 'Olelo No'eau (Hawaiian proverb or poetical saying) “A'ohe pau ka 'ike i ka hālau ho'okahi” (Not all knowledge is taught in one school). A few people integral to my spaceholding journey, in no particular order: Sarah Hyde (restorative yoga); Faith Macauley (yin yoga); Valentina Trejos, Travis Ka’eo, Kayleigh Joy (vinyasa and power yoga); Dr. Kaiwipunihei Lipe, Dr. Kawehionālani Goto, Makanalani Gomes, Mee Moua (racial healing & pilina circle facilitation), Kumu Norma Wong Roshi and the far flung Resonance Network (Zen Buddhism, tai ji, and sustainable movement building).
