Katie’s Background
Injuries in gymnastics and ashtanga yoga led to Katie’s interest in the varied sport of triathlon. However, she found that despite the variety with three sports, they all still mostly involve movements in one dimension (1D) of motion. Noticing the epidemic of weakness in her patients in the other 2 planes of motion, she incorporates all 3 directions (3D) in her manual therapy, movement and strength retraining.

Mid-career, Dr. Kennedy started the physical therapy department on the original Facebook campus in Menlo Park, CA. Current contacts are helping her develop a biofeedback and training tool for hypermobility and Scoliosis of the spine.

Her 30 years of yoga practice, along with a growing knowledge from her career experience, motivated the creation of PNF PiYoga.
