ABOUT OUR TEACHER

I am a yoga teacher in Kensington, and I first came across yoga through a Hatha Yoga book when I was 8 yrs of age. I was fascinated by the peace that emanated from the yogis in impressive postures. This sense of peace was what got me.

It was until I was 17 that I began practising intensively in the Sivananda yoga tradition out of curiosity rather than of need. These were 2 to 3-hour classes! Nothing like the standard of these days.

 

I got to experience the transformational power of this beautiful sacred practice. I felt as if I was levitating, becoming lighter and lighter. The shala closed and I became a dancer. Years later I went through a dark phase, I never thought I could become who I became. Our minds can become our worst enemies,

I sought "the yoga" I knew could help me. It took me a while but I found it, luckily I did and I went back to practice intensively. Then people started asking me to teach them and this awakened my desire to teach yoga and so I went on to do so. This is an endless path of continuous study and practice. I have been a yoga teacher in many disciplines, I love sharing whatever knowledge and experience I have gathered through my yoga courses in Kensington.

 

My own sadhana or practice is the foundation of my life and of my teachings. Life is not going to be perfect because you are a yogi, but it does help you navigate the challenges of life with presence, awareness, and equanimity without getting too entangled in the creations of your own mind. As teachers, our own practice is the most important bit!

 

I strive to honour the sacred practice of yoga and guide you to experience That which is beyond our limited understanding of this universe and to feel from your inner being that there is much more to this life than what you can perceive now. Explore my online yoga courses today.

WHO WE ARE

OUR PROGRAMS AND YOGA COURSES ARE PERSONALISED

Catalina, our Colombian founder, has always had a passion and interest in the body and mind, metaphysics and philosophy, science and art, and how these allow us to discover our Universe.

 

She found that true yoga merges all these aspects when she first started yoga at 17 years old, practising authentic Sivananda Yoga very intensely. With an understanding of energy and yoga, Catalina can really guide you to align and optimise the way energy flows in your body for maximum well-being. This way she can transform it into the most optimal and enhanced tool for your evolution.

 

Physical well-being is just half of the benefits that yoga brings you. For the last decade, Catalina has been learning, practising, and studying yoga styles and other practices including Hatha Yoga (Ashtanga Vinyasa, Vinyasa, Hatha), Kriya Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Taoism, Tantra, Buddhism, Contemporary Dance, Capoeira, and more. "It was through yoga and meditation that I could find freedom from deep suffering... and I now live in steady peace regardless of what is going on." She kept being asked to teach, and at the end of 2019, she was ready to set up her own practice and share her learnings as a yoga teacher in Kensington. Yoga is a spiritual practice meant to free you from your fears and from the limitations of your personality. For it is only us standing in our own way, but we erroneously think it is all the external things. So, why wait? Join our online yoga courses today!
