Spirit of Yoga

Cates specialist area is Restorative and Yoga Nidra. We offer
programs for stress and wellness So far it has proven anyone can learn and share this.

About Cathie:Yoga arrived in my life in the early 1990's, where I had commenced my personal Journey of
healing PTSD, in the early days of my work as a Myofascial & Cranio sacral therapist, at the time I was unaware of how un well I really was. I was hooked on the first class, not by the Asana's (they were difficult) but by Yoga Nidra and the Guided visualisation practices. Over the next 4 years I was incited into Teaching and in 1997 completed my Diploma of Yoga that was a daily study over 20 months. Since then I have been to hundreds of workshops in Yoga, Meditation, Healing. I have soaked up the wisdom of Swami Satyananda, Iyengar, Krishna Murti, Judith Laseter, Dr. Ian Gawler, Kit laughlin, Sogyal Rinpoche, Anodea Judith ,any many others, the list seems never ending. I now follow my own wisdom & feel blessed to have put this course together, so far I have trained over 250 people imso I can see the real value and importance the subtle restful practices of Yoga are needed . Teachers vary rarely receive the training as we did 24 years ago, it was really learning to live Yoga rather than teach it. My intention was
to make this course available to anyone, so that eventually one person in every street could have a few people over and guide them through these simple yet powerful practices so eventually the whole world will relax.

This one quote from Louise Hay felt like a blanket around my heart when everything felt chaotic:
“In the infinity of my life, where I am, all is perfect, whole, and complete.”
I broke it down into 4 simple affirmations:
🌸 I am exactly where I need to be.
🌸 I am whole.
🌸 I am safe in the now.
🌸 Life is unfolding perfectly for me.
It’s not about pretending everything’s okay.
It’s about coming back to your truth, your power, your peace.
💗 New blog post is up today—sharing the books that helped me shift my mindset and heal my heart.

I AM ENOUGH.

I cannot say I can fully believe this. I wish I could. I wish I was ‘enough’ to fully believe that I am enough.
But today, yes, I was enough.

I was enough for me. I gave enough of myself that I did not feel like I had let myself or a friendship down.
And I was enough for my friend.
I listened to her and shared in her stories, in her sorrows and her joys.
I gave her enough of myself that she did not leave feeling emotionally shortchanged by our meeting.

I was enough.

This is what the voice was telling me as I tried to convince myself that I was not good enough or that I could not give enough of myself to satisfy our relationship.

I am now filled with a sense of wonder and awe at our own underlying knowledge that we are enough. I do not think it is just in me, I think it sits somewhere deeply rooted in each of us.

It is not a knowledge that I can consciously speak or even believe. It is a knowledge that is so lost within the dark pit of my being that even as I write it I do not believe the words that shine onto the page.

But this morning, when I was on the verge of sinking into a day of despair, my body, my mind, my soul, spoke to me — answering a question that I did not even know I was asking.
Telling me that whatever I had to give to my friend, to our afternoon, to our friendship, was enough.
Not too much, not too little.
It was enough. I was enough.

I am enough.

I am enough.

In the Name Of Peace..
💚🩵💜💛
We are at a breaking point throughout the collective. It is a breaking down of old structures, outdated thinking, and obsolete pattering. Equally so, it gives rise to a breaking open of a higher consciousness crying out to be heard by a world that must now receive its wisdom, frequency, and emergent shift of perspective.

No matter the lens of perspective you view this moment through, may we come together as custodians of the world and as a planet of humanitarians ensuring our world is a safe, sovereign space for all sentient beings to inhabit. We don’t need to answer all questions at once, find ways to satisfy the demand of opposing views, or cower to the intensity of humankind’s hunger for control.

At this moment in history, may we come together in support of peace for all families and for every soul—past, present, or future. May we apply everything we have learned up to this point with an open heart instead of bracing for the impact of outside aggression.

As channeled from our beloved Mother Earth, this planet will no longer be a labyrinth of political tension and demands being returned to its original form as a sacred kingdom of tolerance and respect. We are being asked to unite heart to heart and soul to soul in the truth our Earth expresses to be restored as a home and safe haven for all. 🙏🙏🙏

Our Story

About Cathie:

Have you been searching for change in your life. Are you often tired, bored, feeling fragmented or perhaps lost a general feeling of knowing yourself. Maybe you are suffering anxiety or depression. I was like this 25 years ago and then I met with some pretty fine Yoga practices that started to shape my life? I have invested 21 years teaching and 25 years learning as much wisdom as I can to continue to free myself of the un necessary suffering that has imploded my life from an early age to teens of PTSD. In the early days of my work as a Myofascial & Cranio sacral therapist I was unaware of how un well I really was, it was through the practices of Yoga , Meditation and healing modalities that put back the pieces.

Does this sound familiar? Are you are living day to day but not really living it fully. In 1997 I completed my Diploma of Yoga that was a daily study over 20 months. I have soaked up the wisdom of Swami Satyananda, Iyengar, Krishna Murti, Judith Laseter, Dr. Ian Gawler, Kit laughlin, Sogyal Rinpoche, Anodea Judith , Alan Finger, any many others, the list seems never ending. I now follow my own wisdom & feel blessed to have put together a 50 hour Restorative Wisdom course , in it’s first year 48 people have joined me live to experience the real value and importance of the subtle restful practices of Yoga , using inspiring quotes, positive affirmations, creating a Restorative Personal Code for yourself you can begin to not only move your life forward but be a support for others also. Teachers vary rarely receive the training as we did 24 years ago, it was really learning to live Yoga rather than teach it. My path has grown to be available to reach and share these practices with anyone, so that eventually one person in every street could have a few people over and guide them through these simple yet powerful practices and we would have a tool towards peace. So far it has proven anyone can learn and share this. The power of Relaxation is Potent. Join me in a class, workshop or training. I always happy to chat with you anytime.
