Yoga can be a fantastic way to reduce stress, get some exercise and have some much-needed time away from the pressures of everyday life. Beyond simple stretching, yoga integrates movement and breath in an active way that involves your entire body.

My love for yoga started when I was 16 years old. A family friend had shown me some postures in her backyard one day. I couldn’t believe how something so simple made me feel so great.

I did yoga at home with videos for quite a few years but without a consistent practice. It was good, but didn’t feel like enough for me. So I started to take yoga through one of UW’s clubs, and found that group classes with an in-person instructor made a huge difference to my practice and the way that I was able to learn and progress.

In 2008, through the same club, I completed my 200-hour teacher training, and since then have been teaching there. I absolutely love teaching, and thoroughly enjoy watching people discover what they can achieve through a regular practice.

While my class structure varies in nature depending on what the students are looking for, you’ll find that they are gentle yet challenging and completely beginner-friendly. Most importantly, I always try to teach with a sense of playfulness and fun.

Currently I am offering 2 classes per week: Thursday 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm and 8:15 pm – 9:15 pm. In addition to these classes, I can arrange for private or semi-private lessons. For prices or more information please visit my website at http://www.catonthematyoga.com

If you’ve never tried yoga before, but have been curious to explore it, this is a great way to start. If you have any questions at all, please send me an email at info@catonthematyoga.com

Namaste, and see you on the mat!
