Welcome to Yoga with Cathy!

I’m a yoga teacher with a passion for offering enjoyable, accessible classes for every student, from seasoned yogis to beginners.

After qualifying in Vinyasa Flow with Yogahaven in 2015, I went to Vancouver early 2020 to train with Bernie Clark in Yin and added Menopause Yoga to my teaching bow in November, 2021.

Having taught in various venues over the years I’m delighted to be bringing it all together in one place, the Pause Place, my garden studio.

I offer 8 classes a week plus occasional workshops: Please see the Classes page for more information and how to book.

Hot vinyasa flow is back on Saturday/Sunday mornings, depending on Sunderland AFC’s fixtures. (Ha’way the lads!)

1-2-1s are also available - just email me if you fancy it.

I love sharing my passion for yoga and the connection with students. The word yoga means to unite - essentially combining body with breath. When this happens, the mind starts to settle on exactly what you’re doing, in the present moment. And we stay there, together, no pressure, no competition, no rush - bliss!
