KATE DYER

ECY NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND VOLUNTEER

Kate has lived most of her life in Africa, and came to practise yoga intensively about 15 years ago, to recover from acute back problems caused not least by the bumpy state of the roads!

When living in Tanzania, she also taught yoga to friends and colleagues, and supported initiatives to take yoga into the streets and villages rather than it being confined to yoga studios for expatriates. She has worked for – and served on the Board of – a variety of organisations, including small NGOs and charities, consultancies, and most recently was director of a substantial aid programme. Work-wise her special interests are in strategic planning, monitoring and learning systems, governance and sustainability.
