Personal………. I am a single mother of two vibrant creations and have many hobbies and passions including pole dancing, music, reading, travelling and food experimentation. I pride myself on my motivational approach to juggling the ever-increasing challenges of life and strongly advocate for mind, body, and soul empowerment. Yoga and meditation are not just part of my professional role, it helps me to navigate through life. I include my children in my practice one of whom is autistic, a safe place for us to release emotion, connect and recover from the sensory meltdowns experienced without judgment. I truly embrace these wholesome experiences shared and count my blessings for the strength and resilience I have built in myself over time. Professional………. I am an Occupational Therapist and a BSY Hatha/Pre & Post-natal Yoga Teacher. I have taught various classes in community and educational settings with a diverse range of individuals including, mother and baby groups; older adults; children with behavioural difficulties and special educational needs (SEN). I have a very diverse and inclusive approach to my practice with a strong belief that yoga practice is for all and should be celebrated as such. I have an educational and employment background in SEN, with a master’s degree in special and inclusive education. My two main SEN roles were as a sign language/deaf communicator for deaf children and prior to this I facilitated the development of life skills for children with varied special needs within a residential special school.

200hr RYT Ashtanga , Hatha and Vinyasa Yoga. I´m on a mission to make Yoga accessible to everyone. Ever heard someone say „I can’t do yoga because I´m not flexible“? Well, good news, no one has to be specifically flexible to start yoga at all. Everybody has a yoga body. Step on the mat with me, disconnect from the outside world for a bit and discover how different you’ll feel when heading out the door at the end of a class. My journey started in 2018 in Berlin, before embarking on an adventure through Australia which lead me to visit countless yoga studios and meet inspiring Yogis that have ultimately fostered my curiosity for this ancient practice before settling in the UK in 2021. When I´m not practicing, you can find me wandering around the Northern Quarter in Manchester, a natural wine bar in Berlin or at home playing with my dog Leo. Contact Details Instagram LinkedIn

RYT (200 hrs) yoga teacher of hatha, pranayama and meditation ICF Approved business and life coach Trained in Menopause Yoga A compassionate teacher of hatha yoga, pranayama, meditation and yoga nidra since 2018. Born in the UK with Indian roots I feel strongly connected to the ancient wisdom of yoga from the country of my heritage. I would like to dispel the westernised image of yoga to help everyone access the true essence of what yoga is - remove the ego, the need to look perfect, and the idea that yoga is a workout. When I practice with a student, I offer kindness and patience, connecting the practice to yogic philosophy with a desire to help others find their inner strength and inner wisdom.

Meet KATIEANNE DUNCAN-BRUCE, a seasoned creative spirit with a BA(Hons) in Dance and a Live Events Diploma. Her global journey has seen her wear multiple hats – dancer, choreographer, teacher – and delve into production and management. Notably, Clarke Quay in Singapore holds a special place in her heart as the Entertainment Capital. Proudest Chapter: The proudest chapter unfolded with the arrival of Katie's identical twin boys. Challenges of carrying twins tested her physical and mental strength, marked by a C-Section and two additional abdominal surgeries, including a painful full muscle repair for Diastasis Recti. Amidst this journey, she discovered the isolation due to the lack of pre and postnatal exercise options. Transformation into a Specialist Women’s Yoga Teacher: This struggle fuelled Katie's transformation into a 300HR Specialist Women’s Yoga Teacher.

Evolving her business, she broadened its horizons by curating distinctive events and workshops, giving rise to the inception of KDB Energy®. This expansion was driven by an awareness of the widespread demand for stress reduction, invigoration, and relaxation, catering to various institutions such as the NHS, well-known charities, schools, and universities. Current Role: Today, while building her business, she proudly serves as a Les Mills instructor in the local community and a Senior Yogabellies Teacher, contributing globally by training other Yogabellies teachers. This role enables her to share expertise and passion for holistic well-being and specialist women’s yoga on a broader scale. The Visionary behind KDB Energy®: Leveraging her versatile background and drawing from diverse expertise in yoga, fitness, dance, choreography, and mindfulness, Katie goes beyond traditional boundaries. She orchestrates unique events, workshops, and diverse programmes, showcasing an innovative and holistic approach. Her coaching proficiency spans a wide spectrum, from guiding children and professionals to supporting postnatal women. Katie's expanded offerings encompass online courses and personalised 1-2-1 coaching, addressing various needs, from pregnancy and fertility to working with professional performers and collaborating on stage productions.
