Today we’d like to introduce you to Katelyn Hansen.
Katelyn, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
I am from a small country town near Kansas City, MO and ended up moving to Denver in 2014. Currently I am a Yoga teacher, a Goddess Guide, a model and a nation-wide performance artist. Dance and performance have always been a part of my life and as I grow older, instead of calling it “performance” I call it “self-expression” as it has allowed me to really get to know myself. Going through the traumatic process of cancer left me with a bad case of “YOLO” (lol). I started walking this mindfulness based path after I survived the mental and physical battles of cancer at age 18 and another scare at age 21.
After battling and healing a few times over, the warrior in me was extra strong but when I found my yoga practice, my warrior glowed from the inside out. I soon knew that I had to share this feeling, this glow, this empowerment, this healing, this love and I went to Yoga Teacher Training. I knew that if I could feel this way after all I had been through at such a young stage of life, anyone could feel this way. Shortly after conceiving my “baby” FloState Yoga, the Goddess in me came out to play, and she is not shy either. I now use both my masculine “Warrior” and my feminine “Goddess” as a power couple to share my offerings to the community around me. Pairing my perfect harmony teachings and my self-expression knowledge is only the beginning of my beautiful life path.
Has it been a smooth road?
I can only say from personal perspective, but I do not believe that any exquisite destination has a smooth road to get there! A quote of mine that I recite in classes sometimes is “The sun sets only to rise again”. FloState Yoga was curated off the idea to mindfully live in a flow state of mind. Not the future, not the past, but rather in the pure present setting. Realizing that no one knows what the future will bring, honoring the things in the past that brought you to where you are now, and focusing on living in the moment with absolute acceptance.
Please tell us about FloState Yoga & Goddess Glow Gatherings.
As a Goddess Guide, Yoga Teacher, Dancer and Lightworker, I truly fulfill my life purpose, although I am grateful to forever be a student learning and experiencing as much as possible. I help guide others toward their highest self through showing them their inner divinity. As a Goddess Guide, I empower you to awaken the feminine, intuitive, Self and connect with the inner Goddess. As a Yoga Teacher, I creatively guide journeys of learning more about the body, mind and Self. As a Dancer, I teach soul identification through self-expression, and as a Lightworker, I shine mindfully and reflect intuitively.
I am a 200 hour registered yoga teacher as well as being trained in dance and movement for 15+ years. I now own and operate FloState Yoga and Goddess Glow Gathering. With FloState Yoga, I teach weekly classes currently at GVM Studios on Colfax as well as weekly virtual Zoom classes. Goddess Glow Gatherings are events that create a safe space for the divine feminine to shine in this masculine based world, a self-expression and empowerment sanctuary for the Soul. (and YES Goddess Glow Gatherings are welcoming to ALL humans<3)
A Flow-State of mind is my focus when planning any class or event. I use authentic breath work exercises, creative flow movement, and sensational background music to make you lose track of time, maybe sweat a little, and leave you feeling tranquil and balanced.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
The thing I love most about this city is that it is so close to Mother Nature’s divine beauty. The atmosphere of the mountains will always have a special place in my heart. There is always an escape just hours away!
The thing I least love about this city is having to drive in the snow, I prefer sunny weather!
