Our Instructors
Katie Zink
Katie Zink (she/her) is a community facilitator and creative writer living in Portland, Oregon. She works in Education Publishing by trade and has a Bachelor’s of Science in Women and Gender Studies with an emphasis in Human Sexuality. A student of yoga for over 15 years, Katie has completed 300 hours of Foundational Yoga Teacher Training with Audra Carmine and The People's Yoga and is currently teaching yoga with NW Women's Fitness.
In 2020, Katie completed a certification in the Neurology of Equity and Inclusion as well as a facilitators certification with Oregon Humanities. In 2013, she served as a Trauma Informed Advocate serving survivors of sexual abuse as a youth volunteer and as a part of the development committee. An experienced group meditation leader and lifelong learner, Katie will complete an additional 40 hours of certified Meditation Teacher Training with Kimberly Nozvosel in 2025.
She's deeply passionate about yoga asana and philosophy, women's sexuality and the menstrual cycle, and hosting women's circles. She enjoys writing poetry about philosophy, love, and liberation from the lens of yoga. She hopes to inspire a collective knowing of peace and connection, believes each human was placed on this earth to practice intimacy and connection, and considers having orgasms to be a hobby of hers.
Amy Peck
Amy Peck (She/her) is a wandering soul currently residing in Portland, Oregon. Her favorite aspects of herself are those that care for her two young children, dance, write, play guitar, sing, and make herself and others laugh. She worked in healthcare for eleven years first as a neonatal ICU nurse and then as a Family Nurse Practitioner. She specialized in pregnancy, newborns, children, female reproductive health, and mental health throughout her career as a primary care provider and then as an urgent care provider. She has a bachelor’s in Psychology from Lewis & Clark College as well as a Masters degree from OHSU. Always seeking to help women find their health, vitality, and strength in a world that is stacked against us, she departed Western medicine in 2024 in pursuit of a different modality to empower women. Hearing the same concerns voice after voice in the exam room, she wanted a way to help women hear one another’s voices and find strength in that resonance.
A student of yoga for two decades Amy received her yoga teacher certification, and very importantly, met Katie, at The People’s Yoga’s 300 hour Foundational Yoga Teacher Training with Audra Carmine in the Winter and Spring of 2024. She is heavily persuaded by the power of yoga to heal and transform the body and mind and cannot wait to see what a group of women gathered together discussing erotic intimacy can do to take our erotic selves to higher and higher levels of pleasure. Bringing together Western medicine and Eastern philosophy, she hopes to transform the erotic lives of women to regain our power: She thinks we should call it a revulvalution!
