Katie Kramer is a beacon of light in the Virginia Beach wellness community.

With over 20 years of yoga practice and 15 years of teaching experience, she recently opened her own studio, The Heart Space.

But her journey to self-discovery and ownership wasn't always easy. In this interview, Katie shares her story of overcoming an eating disorder, the power of mind-body connection, and the importance of showing up for yourself.

Katie explains that Yoga cultivates the ability to be present in the moment, quiet the mind, and connect with one's inner self.

Katie's journey is one of continuous learning. She's open to exploring new modalities and philosophies, like Kabbalah, that help her connect with her spirit source and release negativity.

For those hesitant to begin their own wellness journey, Katie offers a simple but powerful message. It's an act of bravery.
