Cathy is a lover of life and all of its possibilities, opportunities and simple moments. She has a generous spirit, a forgiving soul and a loud laugh. Her interest in movement and breath began in high school and college as a dancer + aerobics teacher. She taught aerobics to the Virginia Tech basketball team during her four years there in their preseason training where she met her husband Sam.
Post graduation from VA Tech, Cathy continued teaching group exercise and spent a decade as an ACE certified personal trainer and made a segue to focusing on only teaching Yoga in 2008. Cathy now teaches yoga classes to small groups, individuals and teams of athletes. These classes focus on strength, balance and recovery for the mind, body and spirit. A lifelong learner, most recent highlights of her study and training include:
