Pam Novotny, founder of Kind Yoga NoCo
For the past six years I have devoted myself to the practice of Kaiut Yoga. The idea that I might teach it one day grew along with my passion for the Method. At first, Kaiut Yoga was all about healing my ankle after three major surgeries in a single year, which left me barely able to walk. I was practicing Kaiut Yoga at Barn Yoga in Boulder then, and I knew I’d found a special community that was as healing to me as the yoga was.
My first Kaiut Yoga teacher training was with Francisco Kaiut in Boulder in 2020. The second session was scheduled for later that year, but the pandemic showed up. Francisco stayed in his home country of Brazil and taught the next teacher training from Brazil on Zoom to students all over the world –including me. I now have 400+ hours of teacher training in Kaiut Yoga.
My husband and I moved to Fort Collins in 2021 to be closer to family. I had already begun teaching Kaiut Yoga for Barn Yoga Boulder on Zoom and I’ve continued that from Fort Collins. When I found that there were no Kaiut Yoga classes here, I realized I would not only be a teacher, but I’d have to start a business. Redoubling the effort I’d already begun with Francisco Kaiut to become a Kaiut Yoga teacher, Kind Yoga NoCo was born.
I’m excited to introduce Kaiut Yoga to the people of Fort Collins and to share the joy and healing of this method. I also plan to continue studying with Francisco, deepening my understanding of the Method, and honing my skills as a teacher.
