In-Person Yoga Classes
Mindful Flow & Meditation
Thursdays 5:30 - 6:30 PM
This class is a foundational Hatha Yoga practice, using physical postures for alignment, strength and flexibility. We will move slower to focus on our breath and mindfully explore a full range of motion in our body. Our flow will include sun salutations, standing and seated postures, twists, backbends, forward folds, and hip openers. At the end of class, we will practice breathing exercises with a short guided meditation. Mindful Flow & Meditation is open to all levels including beginner students. Together we will achieve balance and relaxation in body and mind.
Satsang & Restorative
Thursdays 6:45 - 7:45 PM
This class is a deeply relaxing and nourishing practice to restore your body’s vital energy. We begin with a 15 minute Satsang and then use blocks, cushions, and blankets in supportive, passive postures to help you release tension. You will be guided through gentle movement, deep breathing exercises, and visualization to help you find true rest in your body and mind. You might even fall asleep! Restorative Yoga is an essential practice for stress relief and self-care, and it is the perfect class for all levels of students who want to enjoy the physical benefits of meditation.
“Catherine is a motivated teacher, who creates motivation within her students and fellow yogis. My yoga practice is much deeper, more meaningful, and honestly better, all because of Catherine. Catherine has a beautiful teaching style - one that truly inspires, and creates a sense of calm for those around her. Catherine’s classes (and teaching style) prove that yoga is for everyone. Anyone and everyone can walk away from her class feeling grounded, relaxed, and loved. ”
“I started taking classes led by Catherine in Atlanta a few years ago. I moved to NC and was able to re-connect with her in one of her Zoom classes. Catherine’s Thursday evening class has been a staple of my Covid-19 life, and I have been able to introduce my brother (who lives elsewhere in NC) to Catherine and the Thursday class. Catherine brings a calm, positive energy to our practice, and she does a great job of demonstrating the poses and options while at the same time keeping an eye on us through the Zoom screen and suggesting improvements in our postures as well as encouraging us. She is so good at focusing us on what is going on in our lives and encouraging us to embrace it (beauty in the outdoors) or release it (stress, bad energy, etc.) with the mini-meditation she incorporates into the practice. ”
