Catherine Hartshorn

Catherine is an amazing teacher whose teaching skills have sparked my love for yoga. I am eager to have more lessons with her in the future.

Catherine's yoga class was incredible. Her teaching style is so organic that you are left with a profound sense of serenity long after the class is over.

Working alongside Catherine was an absolute delight! Her expertise in yoga, along with her gentle demeanor and calmness, made her a phenomenal instructor. The innovative structure of her classes was incredibly creative. I wholeheartedly recommend her!

In all honesty, Ashtanga yoga has always intimidated me. I was afraid that I wouldn't be capable of performing even half of the asanas, so I never attempted it. That all changed when I started practicing with Catherine. Her approach to Ashtanga completely transformed my perception of this type of yoga. Her teaching was non-judgmental and effortless, and her calming voice only added to the atmosphere. I appreciated how she constantly reminded me to take five even inhalations and exhalations for each pose so that I could stay connected to my breath throughout the practice. Another aspect that I loved about Catherine was her emphasis on proper alignment. This required me to remain focused throughout, which I find deeply fulfilling. Her vast knowledge was also something that I valued. Hearing about her experiences practising in Mysore, India, and how she discovered Ashtanga was truly inspiring. What I learned from her was that Ashtanga yoga is a lifelong practice, and it never neglects any part of the body or organ - this was very empowering.
