Yoga

Catherine teaches a gentle yet demanding form of Hatha yoga, which concentrates on developing core strength through releasing tension and creating length in the spine. It is a soft but powerful internal yoga, which uses the breath and gravity to allow the spine to unfold like a wave, allowing the uninhibited opening and energising of the whole body.

This approach was created by Vanda Scaravelli, who worked closely with BKS Iyengar before developing her own distinctive style, which was based on doing less or "undoing" to gradually begin to free the spine’s powerful natural flexibility.

The method develops a sensitivity and awareness of the body's structure and workings which ultimately begins to inform not simply the asanas, but our everyday movement, becoming a form of meditation on every experience, both inside and outside of ourselves.
