Kathryn Boland, Creator of Mindful Movers, is a writer, dancer, yoga practitioner, and movement educator based in Rhode Island. She's been a dancer since 2003 -- training in various studios and with various teachers in Rhode Island, Boston, New York City, and Washington DC as well as performing with Danko Productions (Boston, MA). After obtaining a BA in Dance (The George Washington University 2011), she trained in Dance/Movement Therapy (MA Lesley University). This education, and following professional experience, broadened her awareness of the power of movement to empower and heal, from individual to group to community levels.  

​

Kathryn has taught yoga for various ages since 2011, and more specifically for children/youth, families, caretakers, and educators since 2019. Apart from Mindful Movers, she offers private and group instruction in homes, schools, community centers, gyms, studios, and more (virtually or in-person according to state/federal safety guidelines). She serves as Blog Manager for Flow and Grow Kids Yoga, through which she became certified to teach yoga and mindfulness for children/youth. It's a community of wonderful teachers in which she remains engaged. 

​

Her journalistic work about dance and yoga can be found in Dance Informa, DIYdancer, Dance Magazine, Dance Dispatches, and YogaU Online. She writes news, features, interviews, reviews, and thought-leadership pieces for these publications. She has been an educator on and advocate for arts journalism as a public speaker through several events and venues. She's also collaborated with dance artists, bringing the written word and movement together in order to increase accessibility and depth of audience experience.

 

Kathryn also has a YouTube show centered on dance and social justice, called "Move for a Movement" (get connected with that through the below). She also has extensive experience in non-profit and arts administration and social media marketing. 

​​

Outside of work, she enjoys taking yoga and dance classes, listening to music, podcasts, and comedy specials, time in nature, and a cup of coffee with a good friend or two. She tries to remind people in her life that the little things are really where it's at!​
