KAY WESTCOTT worked for over 15 years in corporate America before renouncing her previous life to become a yoga instructor — one of only a handful who teach full time. Having put herself through law school, Kay worked both in the legal field and as a CPA.
Her first yoga class was with Lex Gilllan at the Yoga Institute of Houston in 1987. She studied yoga and meditation for seven years befor taking Lex’s first teacher training course in 1994.
She taught part-time, then began teaching full time in 1995. Kay continues her studies and trains at national conferences to stay current. The teachings of Erich Schiffmann and Angela Farmer have made a huge influence on her teaching style. Locally, Kay mentors her teaching with the legendary Billie Gollnick. Billie's teacher and employer was Ernest Wood, one of the West's foremost authority on Indian thought and culture.
