Profiles in Quarantine
The Accidental Overnight Internet Sensation
Show Notes

Just six weeks ago, yoga instructor Katy Steadman had never heard of Zoom, owned a clunky old computer, and lost 90% of her income from her various studio jobs in San Francisco. Financial pressures aside, Katy’s loyal local students needed her more than ever but Katy didn’t even know how to get in touch with many of them. Within a week, Katy launched her online studio offering four live classes a week. Now, she supports not only her local clients, but a fast-growing global community of people who join each week to experience Katy’s unique blend of in-the-moment cultural insights, philosophy, humor, and digitally hands-on yoga adjustments. Katy shares her story along with glimpses of her wish for the post-pandemic world plus a little David Whyte poetry.
