UPCOMING EVENTS
September 15th: Yoga & Wine at Mia Marie Vineyards!
One Sunday a month I teach a morning all levels Vinyasa Flow class outdoors on Mia Marie Vineyards’ yoga pavilion which features beautiful views of South Escondido’s wine country. It’s quite a treat practicing in community right beside San Diego county’s rolling hills!
Included with your class ticket is a glass of Mia’s award-winning wine to enjoy afterwards, at their tasting pavilion with more stunning views.
Join us for class and bring a beloved friend for a blissed-out Sunday!

WORDS & WISDOM
Cat is a solid, knowledgeable yoga instructor. She is very safety and foundation building oriented, so her students are in great hands as they learn at whatever level they are working at. She is able to modify for injuries/limitations and make recommendations for ways to accelerate progress. She is equally able to meet me on the mat as she is a newbie, and I have been practicing for 20 years!

Because my mission is to empower you in owning your practice so you can know yourself better, I'm sharing 3 tips to knowing what your body needs.
