Katie O’Connell: My Varanasi Lakshmi
Katie O’Connell is a former high school and college English teacher who taught creative writing and poetry for fifteen years. Now a full-time yoga teacher and owner of Dragonfly Yoga Barn, Studio & Retreat in North Sandwich, New Hampshire, Katie leads yoga and Ayurveda retreats and trainings around the world. It is in these places that she has found so much inspiration as a poet and blog writer, sharing her love of people and culture, and both physical and spiritual places encountered on her path as a yogi, mother, lover, musician, gardener, and teacher. Katie enjoys her sweet life with a humorous Irish husband and amazing partner in everything, their two college-aged kids who are their greatest joy, and three ridiculous singing cats.
