“It is my belief that everyone has a light within.”
Catherine was drawn to Yoga in 2006 as a way to quiet her mind and find balance during a busy time in her life.
This led Catherine to complete the Inspired Life Teacher training program with Maria Carr in 2013 where she found her passion for teaching.
Catherine offers her students love and compassion thereby allowing them to shine their own light. Her class focuses on mindful alignment and encourages students to feel their way into the postures from the inside.
“It is such a gift to witness the students grow physically, emotionally and spiritually.”

BOBBI REID
"Don’t practice Yoga to get better at Yoga, practice yoga to get better at living.”
Bobbi’s passion for teaching emerges from her commitment to improving mental health and wellness through the sharing of yoga. She started Yoga for the physical benefits and soon began to notice and experience a profound calming effect in her life. To better her understanding of the practice and help with her own wellness she began The Inspired Life teacher training program. Her classes will enable you to strengthen your body, release tension, relax your mind and come away with a sense of calm that carries through to your everyday life. Her favourite posture is the stillness of Mountain after a strong Warrior sequence. Off the mat Bobbi enjoys reading, boating and spending time in nature.
