Catie is an E-RYT 500 yoga teacher and movement educator with over 15 years of teaching experience. Her journey has taken her from the fast-paced studios of New York City to the slower rhythms of life in Bali, where both her personal practice and teaching have continued to evolve. While her early years were rooted primarily in dynamic Vinyasa and movement-based practices, over time she found herself increasingly drawn to the quiet wisdom of Yin Yoga. What began as a complementary practice gradually became an essential one—a place to slow down, reconnect, and find balance amidst the demands of modern life. Living in Bali, becoming a mother, and navigating the many transitions that life inevitably brings have all deepened her appreciation for slower, more restorative practices. Yin has become an anchor in her own practice, offering space to regulate the nervous system, cultivate presence, and remember the importance of simply being, rather than always doing. Drawing from a background in yoga, Pilates, anatomy, breathwork, meditation, and mindful movement, Catie’s teaching is grounded, accessible, and deeply embodied. She believes there is no one-size-fits-all approach to yoga and encourages students to approach the practice with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to listen to their own bodies. One of Catie’s greatest joys is mentoring new teachers. She believes the best learning happens when students feel comfortable asking questions, staying curious, and discovering their own authentic way of teaching. Her hope is that trainees leave with not only a deeper understanding of Yin Yoga, but also the confidence to teach in a way that feels genuine, thoughtful, and true to themselves. For Catie, Yin Yoga is far more than a style of practice. It is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and cultivate the kind of awareness that supports us both on and off the mat.
