In Japanese culture, kintsugi is the art of repairing broken pottery with gold. Pottery, such as life, is vulnerable to damage and breakage, but that does not make it any less beautiful. Rather, imperfections and challenges enhance attraction. And just like pottery, humans’ scars, visible or not, create individualized beauty. Kintsugi Yoga applies these practices and teaching to yoga, creating an inclusive space for everyone on their journey to wholeness and unity.

“Our approach honors the philosophy of kintsugi by embracing imperfection and fostering resilience, allowing students and teachers to integrate life’s challenges into a greater sense of wholeness and purpose,” founder Cat Wetenkamp says.

Each instructor is passionate and prioritizes people over profits, so no matter what experience you sign up for, you are held and cared for. It is soothingly obvious that Wetenkamp and her team go above and beyond to support every person they share space with. This is applicable to all of their services, including but not limited to, 200-hour teacher trainings, kriya yoga teacher trainings, yin yoga teacher trainings, trigger point recovery teacher trainings, yoga and mindfulness retreats, psychedelic journey facilitations, sound healing journeys, yoga classes and more.

“[Kintsugi Yoga] has allowed me to step into my skin and own the voice inside of me,” student Zoie shares. “It pushed me to shed layers, be uncomfortable and receive feedback. I’m grateful to see myself as confident and to feel confident through the many activities and teaching exercises.”
