ABOUT ME

Yoga has been part of my life for over 20 years and my practice has helped me grow stronger, more flexible and fearless.
Yoga inspires me to live each moment more mindfully.
I traveled to India in 2009 and completed my 200 hours Hatha yoga with the Bihar school of yoga and during my travel I met my teacher Yogi Vishvketu, the founder of Akhanda yoga.
I decided to go back to India the following year to complete my 500 hours advanced teacher training with my teacher and have been teaching ever since.
I continue to be a lifelong student of yoga and I am deeply grateful to all my teachers I had the privilege to meet on my path.
I view yoga as a powerful healing tool that can be applied in all aspects of our life and contribute to the growth of the physical and spiritual Self, citing the interconnectedness to each other, to the world and to the Universe.
My teaching is light, humorous and joyful. I emphasize on the importance of the breath and encourage my students to ease in their practice as well as to challenge themselves.
Recently I have trained as a life coach and love to combine yoga and coaching strategies during my workshops and retreats to help my students empower themselves and find their sense of purpose, dream and discover their own vision for life.
Yoga is release and freedom. I am here to help you find the release so that you competently move your body and gain better control of your mind.
My workshops and retreats are invigorating and nourishing.

How I work

To begin my yoga class, I read a passage from various great yogis, for example from the yoga sutras of Patanjali or words of wisdom from Paramahansa Yogananda.

Yoga postures work includes stretching, balances, back bends, forwards bends, inversion, arms balances followed by relaxation, pranayama and meditation.

Friendly and personalised classes

At Yoga Healing Therapy, I give trust to students and encourage them to go out of their comfort zone but at the same time to be aware of limitations. I remind my students to smile particularly when they are in a challenging pose. Please take a look at my classes page to see which yoga style suits your needs.

What my clients say !!!

"Yoga is a personal journey and along the way you come across teachers who help to deepen your practice. I started attending classes and I couldn't believe how I had neglected the depth of breathing during my practice. Cathy's classes re-introduced this! I then attended a breath workshop run by Cathy. Wow! The workshop was enriching, a breath of fresh air. It deepened my understanding of the breath not just in a yoga class but also on how important it is to be aware of the essence of the breath and how we breathe in our daily lives! Cathy's workshops are invigorating and nourishing. She combines the practical practice of yoga with the soul of yoga so the process is a holistic experience. As a result my practice is deepened and enriched." - Florence

"I have been attending Cathy's yoga class now for almost three years. I had tried other classes before that but never stuck to them. There is no such words as "i cant do that" in Cathy's vocabulary. She has me doing poses that i thought i couldn't manage. I like how Cathy walks around during the class and corrects your pose. I also enjoy the breathing exercises. Because i travel to the class by bicycle, i like how Cathy will provide you with a mat, blanket, belt and block if you need them." - Mary McCready

"I had taken yoga classes previously with various other instructors but never stuck to them as I didn’t feel like I was benefiting from them. However that all changed when I started classes with Cathy back in January 2016 and I haven’t looked back since. Cathy made me feel very comfortable from the outset and showed me the proper way to breathe, yes there is a proper way! Once I managed to master the breathing technique I was able to push myself a bit more each time I attended Cathy’s classes. I have a very mentally stressful job and I find by attending Cathy’s yoga classes I feel so destressed and relaxed by the end of the session. I would highly recommend Cathy’s yoga sessions.
