Kathy Myron

Born in Montreal, 1957, child of European immigrants.

Outside the studio, I’ve been practicing psychiatry for over 20 years at a McGill teaching hospital. I am fortunate to be able to work part-time, which allows me to practice yoga and manage my household of four sons ages 10-22 and my husband Jon(23 years last week).

All my life I’ve loved to move. A lot of ballet, running, skiing. I came to yoga around 10 years ago after the birth of my youngest child. I started with a regular Kripalu class given by a friend in the basement of her house. When she moved on to other pursuits, my search led me eventually to AYM(and the rest is history)

BOOKS: I do love reading as much as yoga-novels and cookbooks. Examples include anything by Haruki Murakami. Last book read: Gourmet Rhapsody by Muriel Barbery. Next one: A Mercy by Toni Morrison. I studied English Lit and Art History before medical school; I still enjoy visiting galleries and museums.
YOGA=LIFESAVER

The practice of yoga has helped me immeasurably in all aspects-both professional and personal- of my life. To LISTEN, to BREATHE, to ACCEPT and to GET TO THE POINT- AGAIN and AGAIN and….I find that the principles we learn from yoga apply to so many practices, be it psychotherapy or riding a bike.
