My name is Catherine, nicknamed Cat, which is appropriate as I love cats and they like a good stretch! Originally from France, I have been a proud Dub for 20 years. My journey with yoga started 20 years ago. A friend dragged me to a Yoga class in a gym. I noticed right away the benefits to my health as I became more aware of the breath. I saw a vast improvement on my breathing, which helped me overcome a mild form of asthma. I spent over 15 years in the corporate world, having studied Business and Marketing, working in Finance, Consulting, and Sales. I saw the opportunity to train as a yoga teacher as a path for self-improvement and to help others, so in 2013 I started to train with the Yoga Training and Therapy Centre in Dublin. My love of Pilates came later, but i was so enthused by it (as it helps me with my posture for horse riding and complements my Yoga practice) that I trained and became a teacher in 2018. After an interesting and busy career working for companies, I decided to start my self-employed journey! I teach Yoga, Pilates and Meditation first and foremost. And I use my business experience to work as a freelance consultant to help former employers and clients with their development strategy.

Having both in my life gives me balance and fulfillment. In my spare time, I love horse riding; I find that Yoga and Pilates help my posture on the horse and my riding fitness. I spend as much time outside as I can, preferably in the lovely Phoenix Park. I believe Yoga, Pilates and Meditation are for everyone. My classes have a strong focus on alignment and encompass mindfulness and stress management. I teach public classes, 1 to 1, and corporate classes in the Dublin area, and now online. So join me for a class in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere !
