I’m Catherine, owner & lead teacher at Yoga Zen. 🪷
I’ve been practicing yoga for 13 years and, while I’d like to say I’ve got it “all figured out”, I’m still hopelessly human. 💚
I’ve been teaching heartfelt classes for almost 10 years and the themes I share are ones I’m working to embody as well. I say what I, myself, need to hear. 👂🏻
Before yoga my coping skills were all different methods of dissociation. I’ve experienced years of trauma that have led to disordered eating, substance use, and dissolution of relationships. Yoga has helped unravel trauma’s effects but I am certainly a work in progress. 🌳
At Yoga Zen, my goal is for imperfect people to practice being humans. Messy, authentic, growing humans. I can’t promise that you’ll learn from teachers who “know it all” but I can promise you that all our teachers are learning alongside you. 📚
Part of my healing process is allowing myself to be seen, heard, and understood. Yoga has strengthened my ability to do that, and sharing on social media plays a role, too. 🫶
If you are on a healing journey, I hope you know that at Yoga Zen, we’d be honored to walk alongside you. Not in front of you, showing the way, but as a companion in the process. 🫂
