Cathy says:  “What continues to inspire me about Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy (PRYT) is that it uses yoga as a means for people to experience life issues and blocks held in the body.  Through the use of dialogue, a person can bypass mental barriers, and open to awareness and insight, so an integrative healing of body, mind and spirit takes place that is unique to each individual.  The potential for deep transformation is present.”

Kundalini Yoga address breath, movement, mantra and meditation to access and balance the chakras and facilitate strength, healing and balance.  She also teaches Alignment Yoga, which teaches basic yoga postures with specific attention to detail of form, to deepen the client’s awareness and prevent injury. Cathy offers onsite yoga classes and workshops in various venues throughout the city including health clubs, gyms, corporations, and healing centers, as well as private sessions.
