Every floor had a door, every door led to stairs which led to more doors and more rooms. She asked people in the rooms why they were there, and they told her they didn’t know, yet they felt they had everything they needed, except a way out of the building. Kate looked up and noticed windows lining the walls. She stood on a table, broke open a window, and escaped, telling everyone that sometimes we have to look to the window within to find or way out.* This dream was a subconscious intervention of sorts, inspiring Kate to launch one of her businesses, ***The Window Within***, a holistic wellness business that offering a variety of services including intuitive yoga therapy, energy healing, intuitive coaching and readings. Already a co-owner of the popular ***Santosha Yoga and Wellness*** yoga studio in Glendale, Arizona, launching another business was simply a natural next step for Kate. Kate enhanced her entrepreneurial spirit during her time as a student in the 600 hour Yoga Teacher Training program at Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA). Her teacher training program helped to unveil the potential within her that she had never previously tapped into or explored, enhancing her growth. ### Share this: - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Topics: [holistic entrepreneur](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/holistic-entrepreneur), [Yoga Teacher Training](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/yoga-teacher-training), [Blog](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/blog), [yoga](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/yoga) ### About the Author ### Share this: - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ### Subscribe ### Posts by Topic - [Aesthetics (4)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/aesthetics) - [alchemy (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/alchemy) - [aromatherapy (2)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/aromatherapy) - [balance (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/balance) - [Blog (69)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/blog) - [Facials (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/facials) - [fitness (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/fitness) - [Great Graduates (37)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/great-graduates) - [holistic entrepreneur (5)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/holistic-entrepreneur) - [Holistic Healing (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/holistic-healing) - [Holistic Nutrition (8)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/holistic-nutrition) - [Holistic Nutrtion (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/holistic-nutrtion) - [Hypnotherapy (8)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/hypnotherapy) - [Intuition (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/intuition) - [life coach (2)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/life-coach) - [Life Coaching (24)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/life-coaching) - [massage (9)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/massage) - [Massage Therapy (8)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/massage-therapy) - [Meditation (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/meditation) - [Nutrition (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/nutrition) - [Nutrition Coaching (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/nutrition-coaching) - [Reflexology (2)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/reflexology) - [Reiki (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/reiki) - [Skincare (4)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/skincare) - [spa (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/spa) - [spiritual studies (2)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/spiritual-studies-2) - [spirituality (3)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/spirituality) - [Toe Reading (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/toe-reading) - [Urban Farming (4)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/urban-farming) - [yoga (8)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/yoga) - [yoga (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/yoga-2) - [Yoga for Runners (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/yoga-for-runners) - [Yoga Teacher Training (9)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/topic/yoga-teacher-training) see all ### Archives - [March 2015 (11)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2015/03) - [April 2015 (8)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2015/04) - [July 2015 (5)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2015/07) - [January 2016 (5)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2016/01) - [February 2016 (5)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2016/02) - [May 2015 (4)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2015/05) - [June 2015 (4)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2015/06) - [August 2015 (4)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2015/08) - [September 2015 (4)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2015/09) - [November 2015 (4)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2015/11) - [December 2015 (4)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2015/12) - [October 2015 (3)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2015/10) - [March 2016 (3)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2016/03) - [April 2016 (3)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2016/04) - [May 2016 (2)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2016/05) - [July 2016 (1)](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/archive/2016/07) see all [![SWIHA Logo](https://blog.greatgraduates.com/hubfs/Great-Graduates-Images-May-2016/swiha-logo.png "Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA) Logo")](https://www.swiha.edu/) Southwest Institute of Healing Arts 1538 E.
