My passion for yoga was first ignited during a trip to India in 2009 where I realised that yoga allowed for tranquility and respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life!
On returning to Glasgow, Catriona discovered Vinyasa Flow Yoga and continued learning through taught classes. She established her own regular self practice regime and found that this helped calm her body and mind after busy days as a social worker. She then wished to develop her practice further and share her love of yoga with others. In 2013, Catriona embarked on a 2 month intensive Hatha Yoga course in Koh Phangan, Thailand. Following this she spent several weeks in an Indian ashram studying meditation and Sivananda style Yoga before going on to complete her teacher training in Ashtanga/ Vinyasa Flow in Goa, India. Catriona has also completed courses in Iyengar and Yin Yoga which has given her a great passion and respect for all types of yoga. This is reflected in Catriona's teaching style which, although has it's roots in Vinyasa Flow, fuses aspects of various yoga traditions.
Catriona's flow sequences encourage students to connect with their breath and help balance mind and body. These sequences are energetic but calming and help tone and strengthen the body whilst improving mental concentration and focus. Catriona takes pride in creating a warm and welcoming environment for all students, particularly beginners, encouraging them to take their practice at their own pace and listen to their body. Ultimately, Catriona believes that yoga is for everyone and can result in a more positive, happy and fulfilling lifestyle!
Cat is also a qualified Rainbow kids and family yoga teacher and a Connected Kids mindfulness teacher. She has 2 mini yogi's (aged 3 and 6) who help inspire her classes!
