Katy Blum began her yoga journey in San Francisco, CA in 2003 after giving birth to her first child. Hoping to find balance as she transitioned into motherhood she studied yoga, meditation, and was trained in Energy Healing. Katy discovered that her practices encouraged a deeper connection with herself, others, and beyond.
After relocating to Madison, WI, and having her second child, her love of yoga broadened. Katy decided to turn her passion into a career so she could share what she had experienced with others. Katy is a ERYT500 through Mark Stephens Yoga, certified in Power Yoga through Bryan Kest and has completed an Ashtanga Teacher's Training with Manju Pattabhi Jois.

Reiki is a form of stress reduction and relaxation that helps promote healing. It is based on the Asian concept of life energy and is done by the laying on of hands. A subtle energy flows from the hands of the practitioner into the recipient, and it is this energy that creates the relaxation and healing effect.

Blue Soul Yoga is an excellent studio that I have enjoyed attending on and off for the last 4 years. Katy especially has been a kind, informative, and helpful teacher. I have been met with compassion and a smile at every class. Prior to covid, she helped arrange a summer yoga class that included my elementary-age children. Since covid I have attended class exclusively in virtual format, and I find that I enjoy that as much as an in-person class. I highly recommend this studio and Katy as an instructor!

Attending class at Blue Soul Yoga - both in person and virtually has been just what I needed! Katy is a great instructor, who is incredibly knowledgeable. She is very responsive to her students' needs and creates a safe, inviting environment that allows her students to grow in their yoga practice. I strongly recommend Blue Soul Yoga!

My husband and were very new and totally inexperienced when starting yoga with Katy as our instructor. She is wonderful, gentle and caring in her approach to teaching.
We have continued to attend classes both in person and by Zoom ( introduced during Covid precautions) for a couple of years.
I would highly recommend Katy as an instructor and the studio for classes. We have taken a few classes in her studio with other instructors and have had very good experiences as well.
I highly recommend Katy and encourage anyone to attend her classes!

I’ve been going to Blue Soul almost since they first opened their doors. It has always been a pleasant and warm environment. A really nice studio with a small intimate vibe. I have recommended them to many friends who have also enjoyed going there. I’ve been taking zoom classes over the last year and that has also been a great experience.

My wife and I enjoy this yoga studio a lot. The owner is very gracious, accommodating and friendly. The classes are always challenging yet relaxing. After moving out of state we found she could still participate in yoga classes on zoom. Blue Soul Yoga is a wonderful place to practice yoga, in person or long distance.

I cannot say enough good things about Blue Soul Yoga. Katy is an amazing teacher. She is thoughtful; loving and kind. Four years ago when I began my yoga practice I knew nothing about yoga. I have learned so much about myself and the yoga community throughout the last 4 years. I love it!! Even through the pandemic; Katy was able to teach through zoom classes and then when we were finally able to meet in person - she following all the CDC rules on sanitizing; masks; social distancing; etc. I am so happy I found this little piece of heaven! I have made some great friends through Blue Soul Yoga. You

I had a very upsetting experience regarding schooling with Katy which I am in the mix of sorting out with the yoga alliance and the WI board of education. I feel that having the experience that I had I should share my truth because I was in a vulnerable student role and her my teacher/leader. My advice is be careful, there are some unhealed issues that for sure cause judgement and ego to prevent effective balanced leadership. I was called out in front of the entire yoga class for leaving class to use the restroom and get a drink, being called out like that in front of everyone caused a lot of embarrassment

Love Blue Soul. They are celebrating one year this month - March 2016. Lots of specials this month including first class free. It is a small friendly studio with a variety of classes and instructors. Classes include all levels from beginners to more experienced yogis. Beautiful, calm environment too with lovely inlaid wood floors. Really nice!
