Catherine has been into fitness ever since she was a young girl, but in 2003, after having a major motorcycle accident, Catherine was introduced to a beginner hatha yoga series by a dear friend, suggesting that it would help heal the multitude of injuries that were sustained in the motorcycle accident. Determined to get better, Catherine chose to practice this form of hatha yoga for 60 days straight and as a result, found that this beginner yoga class also called Hot Yoga, 26 and 2 or The Original Hot Yoga not only helped the healing process, it also got her into the best shape of her life. Convinced that yoga was a great tool for all around health and healing, Catherine decided to share her passion for this beginner hatha yoga series and became certified to teach in the spring of 2007. From that point on she has shared her love of yoga, teaching many classes all over the world, to an international community from all over the world.
