I moved to Big Bear in 2002 after returning home from a five-week kayak expedition to Central Siberia's Lake Baikal. During my time in Russia's Far East, I developed a taste for simplicity. Upon return I impulsively made the move with my partner Scott and have never looked back. I have practiced and studied yoga for eleven years and have been influenced by Paul Grilley, Eddie Modestini, Annie Carpenter, Shiva Rea, Rusty Wells, Mark Whitwell and Scott Miller. My goal is to grow both as a practitioner and a teacher and to share the many benefits of Yoga: That sense of peace and stillness; the ability to move and heal as a result of the physical asanas; and the gift of knowing thyself. Yoga has made me a happier human and given me the courage to follow my heart.

Peace and gratitude,
Cathleen
