Hi, I'm Cat!

My pronouns are she/her. I've been teaching yoga classes full-time since early 2011 and have expanded to offer retreats, teacher trainings, coaching, energy medicine treatments, and essential oil wellness. I am always learning and growing and my hope is to create sustainability in your yoga practice, in my business and in the world. 

My favourite part about my work is when a student feels a sense of relief or release after a yoga class - I can see the difference in their whole being. 

I offer clear, straightforward instructions with a dose of insight and playfulness. Yoga is serious business, but we don't have to take ourselves so seriously! Though, I am serious about anatomy and alignment and functional movement. I have a background in biology and psychology (I have a BSc from Wilfrid Laurier University) and lots of experience of how we move our bodies. Especially if you're dealing with an injury - I will be able to tell straightaway - and we can work together to address the issue.

When you focus your attention on your wellness and yoga practice, you can drastically change your life. When you change your life, you can have a more positive effect on the world.

One thing I’ve learned in my world travels (I've been to over 40 countries) is that we as humans are more similar than we are different. We all want to be healthy, give our kids the best opportunities, interact with our communities and make a difference in the world. Yoga is all about union - uniting mind and body, uniting breath and movement. When we practice yoga, not only do we create more harmony in our bodies, but also unite with the Earth. 

My favourite word is “magical” and I try to use if often!

I am a genuine "people person" and am happiest around people - whether that's on the yoga mat, chatting oils or having drinks after class! Connecting with people is how I live my yoga and create community. I hope to see you soon, on your mat!
