Friday Session 6-8pm
At the end of the day…contemplate and dedicate…
Saturday Session March 9-11am
Upon awakening…set an intention…
The philosophy aspect will be paired with an asana experience that will focus on an all around mindful (deep and slow:) balanced practice with techniques to bring awareness into some of the seemingly routine movements. Be prepared to work hard and engage with the practice as a reflection of a lifetime and all the spaces in between. How would we experience and live it based on intention, contemplation and dedication born out of awareness? These sessions will highlight the ordinary, simultaneously extraordinary, experience of coming together and falling apart. It will be a challenging practice yet in a reflective manner, urging us to be in this moment, as it is. Relax, it’s going to be ok

“Every day, think as you wake up, today I am fortunate to be alive, I have a precious human life, I am not going to waste it. I am going to use all my energies to develop myself, to expand my heart out to others; to achieve enlightenment for the benefit of all beings. I am going to have kind thoughts towards others, I am not going to get angry or think badly about others. I am going to benefit others as much as I can.” – His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
Cat is originally from New York City where she discovered yoga on Lafayette Street and has been calling London home since spring 2004. She feels privileged to have been involved with Jivamukti Yoga London (est. 2005) from its inception and as it continues in its current incarnation, with more of a Tibetan Buddhist influence, as Sangyé Yoga School. She and her husband assumed responsibility (who truly “owns” anything?:) of the space in West London/Kensal Road in May 2010. Over a decade later, the aspiration remains the same, to be of service to the growing community of yogis who understood the distinct correlation between practice and life. The undertaking isn’t always easy or pleasant but small steps of steadfastness and commitment contribute to the ocean of merit. Recently, pandemic times has highlighted and presented an even more profound opportunity to apply the teachings and the practice IRL. Preparation is/was key!
If titles collected along the way bear significance or interest (in no particular/special order): Advanced Certified Teacher (Jivamukti), Senior Yoga Teacher (Yoga Alliance UK) and Co-“Owner” & “Founder” alongside Phil of the space that is Sangyé Yoga School in London.
Long life to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso…may he and the lineage continue to teach and inspire through his generous, humble and yet powerful presence, a living bodhisattva among us.
