Kathleen Kennedy || La Porte, Indiana

Yoga Therapist & Yoga and Meditation Instructor

Hello, I’m Katheen Kennedy.  Following in the hundred year old tradition of my parents and grandparents who attended Notre Dame and St. Mary's, I graduated from St. Mary’s and pursued jobs in Portland and Chicago where I worked with the elderly, the youth and people with disabilities. I then segued into politics. An adrenaline junkie, I loved the rush of campaigning, holding office, and training and competing in triathlons. 

After racing through every aspect of life and sustaining multiple injuries, I was introduced to yoga and meditation. Now a certified yoga teacher and yoga therapist, I’m grateful to say these practices changed my life and inspired my passion to help others find more balance.

I'm married to Marty Whalen (another facilitator) and as our four adult children are quickly leaving home to follow their interests, we are enjoying more time together. We’ve had the good fortune to work closely with the Holy Cross-Notre Dame program (Moreau College Initiative) and offer education/meditation to individuals within the prison system. 

I’m thrilled to be using my yoga therapy skills and customizing practices for individuals in schools, prisons, and convents. It’s an incredible feeling to do what I love and love what I do, but what I learn from working with others is my greatest privilege. I can’t wait to meet and learn from all of you.
