About Us: Movement for Modern Life

Movement for Modern Life was born in London in 2013 to revolutionise Online Yoga & Wellbeing. 

Kat Farrants Hi, I'm Kat - Founder of Movement for Modern Life. I've practiced yoga since 1991. I'm a trained yoga teacher who hasn't taught much yoga - I realise that not all yoga teachers are created equally! I Founded MFML in 2013 when I wanted to be able to practice to only the very top teachers, the best that there are - not the ones great at social media or marketing, but the ones who put all their dedication into sharing their life work. I wanted to practice with these teachers, in my PJ's, at home. It is these dedicated teachers, the very best in what they do, who I handpick to support and join our team,  so they can share their practices which have helped me so much.

I Founded Movement for Modern Life for many reasons. First of all, I worked for years in the city as a solicitor and found that I'd spend all day making sure I could leave the office on time to get to my favourite teacher. I spent more time stressing about getting to class than my job! Then I moved to the countryside in the middle of nowhere and where were my yoga teachers? There was nowhere online or locally with the quality of teacher that I've been so lucky to experience. There was nothing else for it. I left the daily grind and decided it was time to let the best teachers come to me so that, finally, class could fit into my schedule, and be accessible to everyone. Not just those who could afford the time or money of spending 90 minutes in a fancy studio!

Yoga for me has been fundamental in healing deep physical and emotional wounds, as well as simply bringing joy into the day. I would love for people to experience these online classes which range from 5 mins to 1.5 hours as a tool in their toolbox for dealing with the challenges of life. All from the comfort of your own home, in your dodgy tracksuit bottoms.

My mission is to enable our community to move freely into a happy, healthy and sustainable life.

For me, living yoga off the mat, in MFML, in my daily life, is my biggest joy. That's why I started our Champions of Change Podcast. 

I was named the Fresh Face of Wellbeing by Vogue magazine, which I'm very grateful for,  but for me, what's more important is how we feel on the inside, and the changes that we can make in the world.
