Welcome

WELCOME

Yoga is a journey through the self to realize one’s own truth. It allows you to connect not only with yourself, but with community and nature as well. It creates space and invites opportunity for self-contemplation and confident change to occur. This knowing comes from my own experience of continued practice...this evolution is what guides my teaching and life. Being able to teach is a gift and I’m grateful for my teachers and students who continue to inspire me. I look forward to our paths crossing, learning, and growing together.

With Gratitude & Love,
Catherine

ABOUT

Catherine attended her first yoga classes in 2003 in Chicago, USA. After years of trying different asana styles while living a toxic lifestyle, she made a choice to change her life in 2012 and began a disciplined Vinyasa practice. During the next several months, her world began to drastically shift and discovered that yoga was well beyond a physical practice. In 2013, yearning to discover her purpose and truth, she sold everything, quit her job, and left the United States to embark upon a spiritual journey throughout southeast Asia that lasted over 5 years. Within this time, she received her 200-hr Hatha yoga certification from Wise Living Yoga Academy in Thailand and 100-hr Yin yoga certification from Shanti Atma Yoga on Bali. She had the opportunity to learn from various teachers and hold space for students from around the world in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Spain, China, and United States.

Returning to Chicago in 2018, she’s humbled to share her authentic, from-the heart teaching. She offers Vinyasa, Yin, Hatha, Pranayama, Meditation, and Yoga Nidra. Her blend of spiritual and practical teachings safely invites you to dive into deeper layers of your being. In her classes, you’ll be met where you’re at through mindful sequences focused on breath and adapted for specific needs and levels. Catherine has practiced for 11 years and has been teaching for 6. In addition, she’s a certified Reiki practitioner and jewelry designer, loves cooking, moonsets, hugs, traveling, learning about new cultures, and navigating the ultimate trip called life.
