About the Founder – Katy Stahl, ERYT 500, RPYT
 | After the birth of her third child, Katy started on a path of self-exploration. As life was changing rapidly, she searched for her deeper purpose. This exploration became physical and spiritual at the same time and then she went to a yoga class. Realizing there was so much more to this lifestyle, down the rabbit hole she went.
Years passed and several trainings later she has emerged with education in multiple styles, including prenatal yoga. She was inspired most by the prenatal trainings, and from this inspiration came the birth of the Shanti Mom Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training. Years after the birth of her last child, she knew there was a better way to prepare for birth. Through the Shanti Mom Program, she has been able to share this fresh perspective with many others.
She recently relocated to beautiful La Grange, KY (just outside of Louisville). She couldn't possibly have done all this without the love and support of her amazing husband Bob and four kids! She would be amiss to not mention her gratitude for the continued yogic teachings her human and fur children offer daily! |
Katy Stahl has passed the trusted Shanti Mom torch to Natasha Kohorst and lives happily in La Grange, KY with her beautiful family.
About the Owner – Natasha Kohorst E.200, RPYT, MASTER REIKI
Owner NKO Yoga Studio, Shanti Mom Pregnancy Yoga
“My own personal growth came to me on my 40th birthday when I was given a cane to help me get around after a double hip replacement surgery. The second surgery did some nerve damage and caused a difficult road to recovery. Throughout the long road towards recovery, yoga gave me back the life I missed. One of my passions is travel and yoga has helped me regain the strength to enjoy travel again. I have walked the hill to Dracula’s Castle, in Romania, hiked the jungle trails in Hawaii, and went rock climbing and horseback riding in Wyoming. Along this beautiful journey I decided that I wanted to share my story and guide others to learn this beautiful art of Yoga. I have earned my 200 hour teacher training through the beautiful and sacred Grace Tree Yoga Studio and White Lotus Home in West Chester, Ohio. During this process I fell in love with working to inspire and support women during their pregnancy. To help honor the sacred process of motherhood. I am a wife to a wonderful supportive husband and a mother of three beautiful adult children. I have been in Cincinnati for 15 years after relocating from Costa Mesa, CA. Cincinnati has become my home; I am a proud Moeller and MND Mom. I love all that our beautiful city has to offer. I hope to help guide you during your practice.”
What People Are Saying About Shanti Mom
Mindy S.
“I have been a participant in both prenatal and postnatal yoga classes offered by Katy Stahl with Shanti Mom. Her prenatal class format really lends itself to creating support for the pregnant woman by featuring an opening circle of “introductions” at the beginning of each class to promote sharing and connecting. Each class is the perfect blend of breath work, meditation, stretching and muscle strengthening. Katy is excellent in offering adjustments, modifications and tailoring the practice to fit each mom-to-be’s unique condition. In addition to the specialized prenatal format of the class Katy also weaves many important themes throughout her classes, such as methods of delivery, strategies for labor, emotional needs of the pregnant woman, and preparing for baby. As a fellow yoga teacher; but always a student as well, Shanti Mom classes are the benchmark for prenatal yoga offerings. It was with the knowledge gained through Shanti Mom classes that I was inspired to search for the most natural birthing options for me and my family. We have now welcomed 2 children into our family and Shanti Mom prenatal yoga classes were an integral part of both pregnancies and birth experiences. After our first child we also participated in Katy’s postnatal/Mommy and Me class, which was equally well constructed and a lot of fun! It offered a chance to connect with other first time moms as well as forge a unique bond between mom and babe. Katy was very knowledgeable about typical postpartum concerns such as diastasis (abdominal muscle separation), weak core and pelvic floor, and postpartum depression. Shanti Mom postnatal is a unique construction of physical exercise specifically designed for the new mom and interactive yoga play for baby—a much cherished experience!”
