She is devoted to a spiritual path on and off the mat (primarily the latter, thanks to her two little boys and her many "worldly" activities). Kitty offers service by teaching yoga to people from all walks of life, from international bureaucrats to women inmates. Kitty believes that pranayama, asana and meditation have a reinforcing effect on each other, especially when complemented by an intellectual understanding of spiritual philosophies, such as Patanjali's Yoga Sutras. Kitty teaches Introduction to Ashtanga and Mysore Style in Yoga Manila.
