Ashtanga Yoga Glasgow

I love Ashtanga yoga- it has all the benefits of a proper work out but also has the added benefits of yoga- a calmer, more relaxed body and mind at the end of the class. Cathy is a great yoga teacher, very experienced and she creates a safe and relaxed environment in which to practise.

After having practiced a different type of yoga on/off for 2 years, my flatmate recommended Ashtanga and encouraged me to take Cathy’s “6 Week Introductory Course”. I immediately loved the structure of Ashtanga and after the course ended, I started the introductory Mysore. I was quite nervous starting Mysore as I thought it would feel a bit deflating being in a room with much more experienced yogis but Mysore is a fantastic way to learn, with a charged energy in the room that really encourages you to keep going (even on the days you think you can’t).

Attending Mysore 3-4 times a week was mind-changing for me and being quite a stressed and anxious person, I maintain that Mysore is what kept me sane throughout my university finals. Cathy is a truly amazing teacher who is on hand to help you, whether that be squeezing further into a posture that you thought you could never manage or to answer any questions you may have about your practice. Cathy’s teaching embodies her patient and reassuring presence, allowing you to feel safe and supported in her classes.

To have Cathy’s guidance into this wonderful practice is a blessing.

Cathy is a fantastic teacher. I have been attending her Mysore class for around three years and as a result of her excellent style, which is simultaneously subtle and effective, I have grown to understand the power of ashtanga yoga to transform. Cathy is dedicated to passing on her passion for ashtanga yoga and as a result I have developed my knowledge and love for the practise. I would always recommend her – there are no better hands to start your yoga journey in than Cathy’s.

I have been going to Cathy’s class for years. In that time I have been inspired by Cathy’s commitment to the practice and she has helped me deepen my practice. The focus on alignment has really helped me to concentrate on correctness of posture, not just going through the practice. The teaching is both challenging and informative.
