Kathryn is a yoga teacher, turned powerlifter, turned strength and conditioning coach who runs a small countryside gym as well as global online programs. Kathryn’s specialty is applying ultra-progressive, step-by-step approaches to lifting weights, starting cardio, running, and training for big goals in smaller chunks.
She coaches clients from their 20’s to 80’s and has helped complete beginners progress to lifting heavy weights, building the strength to not only feel less fragile, but live life to the fullest. Kathryn’s coaching has been strongly influenced by her own experience as a competitive lifter, as well as her background in mindfulness and more recent education in pain science.
Her unconventional approach works incredibly well for clients who have felt judged or uneasy in fitness spaces in the past. Kathryn’s goal is to bring out the best in her students, whether it’s running their first mile, learning a pull-up, building bone density or summiting that epic mountain.

Kyle was the head coach for the Cornwall Weightlifting Club for 5 years leading up to COVID, when he started coaching for Mindful Strength. He combines elements of his strength background with a more mindful and inclusive approach to exercise. He has years of experience training people in a gym setting and offers a fun and challenging workout approach. Kyle is no longer teaching live classes, in 2023 he went back to school for carpentry. His recorded classes are still in our video library because he offers something very special.
Christopher is a movement instructor, mental health professional, and Mindful Strength admin coordinator. He has worked in the field of mental health and addictions for over a decade and roots his teaching in that experience – placing a strong emphasis on practices that respect, support, and encourage an individual’s innate resilience.
