Hi, I'm Katie Kasten, a yogi, turned twerk-choreo dancer who's obsessed with all things movement and now Founder of ish.

I grew up in a deeply conservative household and town where freedom of expression - especially through a woman’s body- was discouraged. For years, I felt disconnected from myself, my femininity, and didn’t know who I was because of it.

That all changed when I found a dance yoga class at nineteen. The practice freed my voice and, for the first time, I felt what it meant to be connected: mind, body, and spirit. I can say, with full confidence that movement saved my life - and I’ve devoted my entire existence to helping others experience that same freedom and joy.

As I began teaching yoga, dance, and pilates I could never find clothes that truly supported the kind of movement that lit me up.

The shorts I wore were either too compressive - designed to make women smaller - or so loose that they slipped and stretched out mid-class.

And I thought, why does everything in the fitness world focus on looking good instead of feeling good?

I wanted something that celebrated movement in all its forms - something that felt like a second skin. So I created ish: high-quality, non-toxic activewear that breathes, supports, and moves with you - not against you.

We’re redefining what it means to move. Our pieces are made with eco-lux materials, crafted by an all-female design team, and created with the belief that movement should liberate - not limit. No harsh compression. No shrinking yourself to fit a standard. When you wear ish, we hope you exhale. We hope you feel seen, supported, and reconnected to the part of you that’s always been free.
