“As soon as you walk into Peace in Piermont you feel a sense of community. I have been bringing my 7 month old daughter to the Early Childhood Music classes for a few months now and she just lights up when she hears Bandmate Matty. He is awesome with the little ones and they are so engaged and entertained during the class. Katie is a calm presence, so sweet and inclusive with all the parents and children that attend the class. The meet ups after class are also fun for the kids and the adults who gets to support each other and socialize as well. I drive all the way from Astoria, Queens to attend these music classes because my baby loves it so much! I wish I lived closer to come to the other events offered at PIP. We absolutely love Peace in Piermont.”
“I stumbled upon Peace in Piermont through a referral by one of my daughter’s classmates. I have always wanted to get my girls into yoga and meditation, but never thought that it would be this easy! Peace in Piermont is the ultimate kid and family-friendly yoga studio, which offers day camp yoga programs, hour long family yoga, and your typical adult yoga. There are so many things that I love about the studio- it’s warmth, positive energy, bright environment, and enthusiasm to name a few. What I appreciate the most is its tailoring to everyday families (like mine) that struggle with juggling a busy work/school/activity schedule yet want to incorporate the spirituality and teachings of yoga. The studio oftentimes offers day camps on holidays which the schools are closed, yet parents have to work. When my daughters are at the studio, I can leave with 100% certainty that they are not only in great care, but are also learning creative ways to exercise, self-express, and explore. Scarlett and Shane love going and are always in great spirits when I come to pick them up. Thank you for giving us your love, care, and providing a beautiful sanctuary to grow and learn together.”
“Peace in Piermont is a diamond in the rough. Our 8 year daughter has been attending different workshops there from meditation to yoga with arts and crafts peppered in. I never pictured my daughter sitting still and relaxing her mind yet somehow Katie and her awesome staff have not only achieved this, but have created in her a passion not only for meditation, but yoga as well. She has made great friends too. I love this place. And our daughter would be there every day if she could. Wonderful place. My turn to take some yoga classes there.”
“Katie is fantastic. She’s accommodating, kind and takes pride in her studio. I have taken meditation with her and my 7 year old recently started yoga and absolutely loves it. I highly recommend Peace in Piermont 🧘♀️”
“Katie is vibrant, kind, and compassionate. It is clear that she genuinely loves her work with kids, and it’s heartwarming to see them reciprocate.”
“We are so excited to have found Peace in Piermont and Katie! Wednesday’s after school are now for practicing yoga as a family. A great way to put the stress, anxieties, and chaos of the day behind us and spend some time being mindful/checking in on our social/emotional health! (I had that best night of sleep after just one session!)”
“Mindfulness class for Families at Peace in Piermont was an amazing experience for my whole family, including my toddler Son who is only 17 months old. Katie is wonderful with both kids and adults. ❤️ She knows how to create a loving and safe environment!”
“My son really looks forward to his mindfulness class every Tuesday. It is a pleasure to see the classes help him to become more focused and well adjusted in a fun and caring environment. Thank you, Katie!”
“Peace in Piermont was a great place to take the kids! I took them during their week off from school and took an hour yoga class with my 3 boys (9yo, 5yo & 3yo). They were thoroughly engaged and focused & Katie is a wonderful teacher; she kept their interest in a calm, yet active manner. We all had fun doing yoga and trying new moves. I would definitely go again!”
“I recently had an in-home session with my two toddlers. Amelia & Alma had so much fun! They were excited to do new poses and stretch. They were truly in the moment. I’d love to continue see them cultivate mindfulness. I’d recommend these classes for any family seeking balance. ”
“Both my 3-year-old and my 8-year-old are enjoying Katie’s classes. She has a wonderful way with young children. I am grateful for the work that she does.”
“My 7-yr-old and 5-yr-old are both attending mindfulness classes with Katie in Piermont. I am so happy we found these classes- when I read about them I just knew this was something that would be so good for my children! My children are really enjoying the classes and come home sharing the wonderful things they have done and learned during class. Katie clearly loves what she does and creates a special atmosphere for the kids.”
“Peace in Piermont is terrific. both my daughters love Katie. she is truly great with kids and cultivates their interest in yoga and provides a creative and entertaining atmosphere.”
“We are so grateful for Camp Peace In Piermont. It has really given our three year old the opportunity to meet other children, and learn so much! He loves talking about his new friends and Miss Katie takes such great care of him. She is so patient, encourages his play and even refers to him as his favorite super hero, Spider-Man. He asks to do yoga at home, and his play skills have definitely improved. We love the communication and daily photos. We’re already excited to enroll him next year!”
“Peace in Piermont is an amazing camp for the natural minded families. They offer daily yoga, hikes, an many other creative activities. The staff is enthusiastic and the kids are very happy.”
“Brought my 4 year old daughter here for the winter/holiday camp and she absolutely loved it. There’s really no other place quite like this for kids in the area that incorporates mindfulness and play so well. It’s a great addition to the neighborhood and we will be coming back for sure.”
“Where do I start? This place has been great for my whole family! My children love Royal Yoga on Sunday morning! Katie has a beautiful spirit and the class is a wonderful way to start the week in a mindful and meditative way. The children have also loved Camp PIP! Almost any day that schools are closed, Katie offers a day of screen free fun. They go to the park, walk to the library and spend a great day at Peace in Piermont with yoga and meditation. It’s fantastic! I have also taken the Yoga and Mindfulness for beginners and it was just such a special evening. I left feeling so good! I can’t wait to go back!”
“My son got to attend camp at PiP, and he had a fabulous time. Katie’s warmth with the children makes them feel instantly comfortable. His highlights from the week include morning yoga, peaceful walks along the Hudson and a LEGO extravaganza with friends. Artwork and writing also came home with him, and he was excited to share what he had made. PiP is a local gem!”
“My kids have only spent 1 day at this camp and they can’t stop talking about how much fun they had. This is a special “gem” in our community and I recommend everyone look into signing up your kids even for a day or two. Katie truly lets our kids be kids, but also leads them into an incredible mindful world and I am so glad they get to enjoy this time with her. Katie- you are incredible and I thank you for your patience (that I don’t have) haha, and for letting kids be kids but with mindful guidance! Kayla, Mason and I can’t wait to keep this fun “play” but mindfulness going at your studio!!!”
“My almost 4 year old son had an amazing time at PIP camp. He loved every minute of his time in camp. His favorite part ‘all of it. My heart is smiling. And the downward dog. I like being upside down.’ Thanks for a great time! We can’t wait for many more happy days.”
“I’m so grateful for the experience my daughter had at the Peace in Piermont spring break camp! Katie radiates love, beauty and joy and my daughter instantly felt a connection to her! My daughter loved exploring outside, doing yoga and all of the mindfulness activities Katie had planned. We look forward to more experiences with Peace In Piermont!”
“I loved sending my 6-year old son to Peace in Piermont’s Yoga and Mindfulness camp. I wondered what he would think since it was a change of pace from his regular routine and peer group, and he came home bright, happy and so eager to show us all of the poses he learned that day. As an at-home yogi, I love that we now have this connection to a practice that we both love and look forward to. I can’t wait for the opportunity to send him to another camp!”
“My son just spent the week at PiP “spring break” Mindfulness Camp. He loved spending the day with Katie and the other kids. Each day’s roster of activities was fun, engaging and thoughtful. And as a parent even more valuable than the joy he was having was knowing that he was safe and being taken care of by Katie. He’s bummed he can’t go back to camp this week!”
“Katie Stoeckeler has created a beautiful space and thoughtful activities for kids to grow into the habit of mindfulness! My daughter was able to attend one of her camps and enjoyed a variety of creative activities that clearly stem from Katie’s extensive training, background in education, and her years of working with kids. Katie’s energy and kindness are contagious and her creative ways for fostering mindfulness are inspiring. I highly recommend Peace in Piermont!”
“Our children attended PiP Camp over Spring Break. They both looked forward to going and want to go again. We loved hearing about their adventures and glad at how exhausted they were at the end of the day from exercise and fresh air. Not only were our kids happy, we were at peace knowing they were in Katie’s good hands. It was a win-win for our family. Highly recommend.”
“My 5-year-old daughter adored her time with Peace in Piermont and has asked if she can ‘go every day’. She loved Katie and has definitely internalized what she learned. She is always talking about and reminding us to be mindful.”
“My daughters attended camp PIP this summer and they had a great experience with Katie Stoeckeler. I have also taken beginner yoga/mindfulness class and attended a women’s circle at Peace in Piermont. We will be back for more! A fantastic space with great energy. ☮️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜”
“I started my personal meditation journey with Peace in Piermont (PIP) about five weeks ago after meditating for a couple of minutes at family yoga on Saturday mornings for several weeks. My goal was/is to become more mindful of the moment so I can enjoy/appreciate life as it is happening and learn how to be less reactive/angry about situations/feelings I experience. I meet weekly with Katie Stoeckeler in a private meditation/breathing/yoga session. Her demeanor, insight, experience, passion and ability to relate to my struggles is priceless. Katie is invested in my progress/success, not because it is her business, but because she cares and is passionate about helping me. Her passion, joy and satisfaction in my small successes are why I enjoy working with her and remain motivated to improve. Katie realizes that there is no generic solution for each individual so she provides guidance/suggestions to me based upon our candid discussions about me and my personal journey. I am grateful that Katie is in my life and I am able to pursue my personal enrichment journey with her. I already see positive results in only five weeks so the possibilities feel endless! She has also connected with my twins who meditate with me and my wife every night before bedtime so her influence is having a positive impact on my entire family. PIP is a gift to children and adults alike and I hope others will explore programs there as I have done. My experience with PIP is always positive and easy which is another reason why my family and I keep going back.”
“I’ve taken a few classes this summer outside and it was so refreshing to be able attend a class even while indoor studios were closed. Katie teaches such a beautiful class. She is so attentive and personalized the practice. And the classes were on the water in Piermont - it was so special to be able to practice by the Hudson. I highly recommend this studio whether you want virtual or in person classes. Can’t wait to practice together again 🙏🏻”
“Katie is absolutely an amazing yoga instructor! I attended one of her class and it was completely peaceful and relaxing. I had done yoga in the past but nothing compared to Katie’s class. She differentiates to all levels. I highly recommend to everyone! Also, the 10 minute meditation at the end was the best!”
“Love the beginner, gentle & candlelight yoga / mindfulness classes I have taken at PIP. Katie, Hannah and Laura have all been terrific instructors. Can’t wait for the next class. Namaste.”
“This was exactly what I needed at the end of my day! Katie lead a wonderful meditation session with her soothing voice and warm personality. Although I just met Katie for the 1st time tonight, I could tell right off the bat she is a kind, empathetic, compassionate soul. She took her time during the session and was non-judgmental which allowed me to really focus on my breath, sweeping all negative intrusive thoughts to the side. I would highly recommend Katie’s meditation class to anyone!”
“So far I’ve attended PIP’s Women’s Circle, Women in Business Circle, and Katie’s restorative yoga class on Thursday nights. Every one of these events have left me feeling refreshed and ready to take on the next day. The soothing atmosphere PIP offers, plus Katie’s drive to make her space welcoming will always make me go back to any class I can make.I also love how the studio offers more than just yoga classes. It’s a way I’ve been able to get involved with the community since I’m new to Piermont!”
“This is my second time taking Katie’s morning class, and it is wonderful. The pace, the ambience, and the flow is perfect. Highly recommended!”
“Just spent a lovely morning with Katie & Dana ~ Yoga & Massage. Wonderful start to my day! Atmosphere is warm, friendly and inviting! Great place to immerse yourself in yoga and more! 🙏🏻 Namaste”
“I went with a friend to Peace in Piermont to try an adult mindfulness/yoga class. I was pleasantly surprised with how wonderful Katie is as a teacher. She is patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. I am looking forward to taking more classes to help with life challenges, stress, and total well being. Thank you, Katie!”
“I recently took an adult mindfulness class with Katie and was very impressed. She focused on techniques for relaxation including both breathing and yoga and her knowledge and experience were so apparent. I’m eager to continue with her classes as a way to achieve some serenity in the daily hustle of life!”
“This is one of the best yoga / mindfulness classes I’ve ever taken! I have been practicing yoga for some time now but I most certainly still at beginner status and this class could not have been more perfect!! Katie is the most amazing instructor her class includes running through a basic flow and working on mindfulness and peacefulness throughout your body. Katie attends to each individual and is so genuine! Also includes a cozy blanket and pillow to keep you comfy throughout! Would absolutely recommend taking this class!!!”
“Peace in Piermont is a perfect addition to the local community. I have attended two events so far; a Goddess Party and a Self-Love Workshop. The atmosphere that Katie creates is beautiful, elegant and also raw and so real. Sharing moments and experiences with such incredible women has helped me grow in my journey. I have never felt so loved, accepted and at peace with myself as when I am at a Peace in Piermont event. I cannot wait to go to so many more. I am especially looking forward to the workshop on essential oils! ”
“I went to a Goddess Party at Katie’s and it was absolutely beautiful! everything from the food to the décor, even the lavender water was so thoughtful and created the perfect ambiance to embody the energy of a goddess. The container Katie creates feels safe and welcoming for all goddesses to be themselves and share freely and openly from their hearts. It was a truly special event that touched me deeply and I left feeling connected to and nourished by Katie and the other magnificent women there. Can’t wait for the next one!” ”
“I attended a Goddess Night hosted by Peace in Piermont, and it was absolutely perfect. Every detail was well thought out to make the evening comfortable and flow smoothly. The food was unreal, but didn’t leave us feeling sluggish or gross, no matter how much we ate, the supported and guided circle was absolutely beautiful and so meaningful to everyone involved. And there were flower crowns! You can never go wrong with a beautiful flower crown!! I can’t wait for the next one. Katie is an amazing woman, with such a wonderful way to help bring together woman, guide them, and make them feel like ultimate Goddesses.”
“I had the pleasure of meeting Katie at a goddess gathering she hosted. She was a joy to be around, and her overall attitude was contagious. She provided a safe space that welcomed any and all thoughts, feelings, and emotions. It was a wonderful experience and I look forward to many more!”
“I recently attended a goddess party, it was a fantastic event. Katie creates such a welcoming atmosphere, every detail was thought of. I left feeling refreshed yet energized. I am excited to attend more events in the future.”
“Recently attended a Goddess Gathering with Katie. The whole experience was amazing. The space was welcoming, the group was open and non-judgemental, and the discussion between the goddesses flowed naturally. I would highly recommend spending some healing time with Katie.”
“Peace in Piermont has become an invaluable part of my life - having recently moved to town, I took a leap of faith and attended the Goddess Party. It was a special evening of forming a community of supportive, strong women; each with their own stories, but all offering words of courage and encouragement. Thank you Katie Stoeckeler!!”
“When I turned 55 this past January I decided to make some changes. As my children are all grown, I decided to invest time in myself. I needed to make some changes in pretty much every aspect of my life: smoking, sleep habits, food quality, and quantity. I have attempted numerous times over the past years to make the necessary changes, to no avail. This past March I made the decision to work with Katie. I am happy to say as of today I have been cigarette free since May 16th, sleep better than I have in the past 30 years, and have lost a total of 34 pounds. Katie’s work style easily fits into my busy life and I look forward to our weekly chats. Katie will gently nudge, kindly remind, and point me in a healthy direction, one that I needed to go in. I work hard, both at home and at work, taking care of what needs to get done. So glad I made the decision to take care of me. Money well spent!”
“Katie appeared in my life at a time of personal loss, professional upheaval and general chaos. She guided me through this painful and confusing time while showing me the utmost kindness and compassion. She also provided a safe space for me to step out of my comfort zone.As a life coach, I found Katie to be relatable. She understood the mentality of a former athlete. Furthermore, she is a great listener with a calming presence and a wealth of knowledge. In the short time I have been working with Katie, I have grown immensely. I have tackled things that once seemed out of reach and overwhelming. I am more patient with myself and others and I take the time to *breathe* before acting or reacting.Basically, Katie is awesome and I am grateful to have had the chance to work with her. I am in a clearer, organized, open, and peaceful space than I have been in a long time.”
“Katie will absolutely help you narrow down your goals. Whether short term, long term, health or profession related (or both) just having someone who sincerely wants to see you reach those goals is a great connection to make and keep. Katie got me to finally buckle down and make a page for my art, after years of thinking, “I’ll do it someday.” Katie will help you do it NOW!”
“Katie! I want to take the opportunity to love on you. I watched you in that women’s circle and saw a leader. You shifted the whole vibe, sister. I saw us women sharing ourselves and our stories, and at the same time covering up the emotions surrounding those reveals. It felt as if it was hard for us to be vulnerable, to let ourselves feel into the pain or whatever our situation brought forth. Until you spoke. You shared from this grounded, vulnerable, open space that invited a sigh from the rest of us, a relaxing of our shoulders; our bellies let go. I swear. I’ve wanted to share with you how I see you, and so I’m taking the opportunity. You share of yourself authentically, and it creates safety. You are a natural leader by setting the example of authenticity, vulnerability, and through that strength. And you genuinely care about people, and we feel it.”
“Katie is a bolt of energy! Working with her weekly helped me to clarify and work towards my health and life goals in a way that felt manageable. She has an incredible wealth of experience and knowledge to draw from which makes any challenges that come up feel completely achievable. I am so delighted to have Katie on my team!”
“In Just a matter of weeks I have noticed my life take a positive turn. Katie has been the support I needed to mastermind some health concerns & now targeting a career change. My interjections with her have lead me on a path of introspection and self re-discovery. I now feel once again motivated. Thanks for your coaching, wisdom and making this Mom of 2 feel like she can conquer. I can feel Katie smiling and cheering me on this journey.”
“Katie is seriously amazing! She’s wonderful at discerning achievable goals and helps you work toward them by serving as a positive reinforcement. She’s not judgmental at all and helps to create plans that work for you specifically. Her dedication, hard work, love and light truly inspire and make you want to follow suit! ”
“Katie is a special coach. She not only takes the time to get to know you but she makes the time to reach out, check on you, and make you feel like a priority. Every time Katie and I talk I feel refreshed and energized. She always has great ideas and suggestions or offers to research what she doesn’t know. Katie genuinely supports my goals and roots for me, and her authenticity is motivating. I would and do recommend her to everyone and I know I wouldn’t be the same without her.”
