WHO WE ARE
The Intention
Creating experiences rooted in the principals of Yoga that support an individual’s process in healing and self-discovery.
Encouraging accessibility of Yoga through the principals and methodologies of the Viniyoga tradition.
Being a resource for anyone seeking to move through life with greater ease and understanding of one’s True Self.
True Evolution was born from a desire to share knowledge and make meaningful connections. Yoga has many paths. ‘The Heart of Yoga’ by T.K.V. Desikachar is highly recommended reading for those interested in the history and teachings of T. Krishnamacharya who greatly influenced much of the Yoga we know and practice today. T.K.V. Desikachar lived and studied with his father, Śri Krishnamacharya, for nearly three decades of his adult life until his passing in 1989. Mr. Desikachar continued teaching until his own death in 2016. The extraordinary devotion they shared for Yoga still blooms today through the careful transmission of their teachings.
Catherine Franklin, a student of Yoga since 2007, founded True Evolution in 2016. It has been evolving ever since. She holds a 500 Hour RYT certification with Yoga Alliance and currently studies therapeutic application of Yoga under the direction of her teachers, custodians of the Viniyoga teachings of Mr. Desikachar and Śri Krishnamacharya, of the Yoga Well Institute in San Francisco, CA.
