Sudhakar Ken McRae and Kathleen Knipp, faculty on the Advanced Yoga Teacher Training team at Kripalu Center, are creators of the Sadhana yoga and meditation CD series. They have been leading yoga programs and spiritual adventures in the US and internationally for the past eight years. Both professional-level yoga teachers, their teaching combines the precision of the Iyengar system with the heart-centered, meditative aspects of Kripalu Yoga.

They live in Columbia, MO where they own and direct alleyCat Yoga and publish Columbia's Healthy Living Directory. They enjoy cycling, hiking and preparing gourmet vegetarian food.

Prior to their move to Missouri the couple lived in Charlottesville, VA where they operated Peace Of Mind Center for Yoga & Meditation in a renovated pre-civil war church. The couple settled in Virginia following a seven-month tour of India and Asia where they studied yoga and meditation in the context of different cultures and religions. Before traveling, Ken and Kathleen lived and worked at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, MA.

Kathleen's gentleness and sensitivity along with her playful spirit create a safe environment for her students to explore the many facets of the practice of yoga. Her teaching emphasizes honoring and respecting the body while using yoga as a tool for cultivating self-love and self-acceptance. Drawing upon her years of working with young children, she encourages each person to experience yoga wherever they are and however they are. Her passionate commitment to truth satya and her belief in the healing power of yoga inspire her teaching.
