About Cathy’s yoga
Cathy was originally from Hong Kong. Growing up in a fast paced environment and certified as Certified Public Accountant for a decade , a mum of two (soon to be a decade), she understands how life can sometimes be a bit tough. Her favourite quote is ‘ You cannot always control what goes on outside, but you can always control what goes on inside’, which match how as a yogi, she creates her own space and on the journey to explore herself.
Her practice starts early in 2009. She fell in love with yoga immediately. She believes yoga can heal the body and soul. By building the connection in body and mind, she learns more about compassion, love and surrender. Since then, Yoga and Pilates have become the backbone of her life.
Cathy completed her RYT200 foundation teacher training (200 hours) in Sydney, but the learning never stop. She has since gone on to specialize and certified in Assisting & Alignment (50 hours), Yoga energetic (50 hours), Pre &Post natal (50 hours) and Yin Yoga (50 hours). This year, she will be completing the certification for Injury Management Training.
Cathy’s caring and positive style will safely support and challenge you in your yoga practice, helping you restore your energy and internal power, hence transform to your best through an empowering and calming practice and, believe that, is fun.
