Catherine Watsham
I found Yoga in my early 20s, whilst going through a really stressful time! My weekly practice became a time for some self care, downtime, where I would escape the fast paced existence of life. It was an opportunity for me to reconnect, rejuvenate, find calm, and feel more positive. I also benefited from some new perspectives! Yoga philosophy is full of insights and wisdom in relation to how to live a happy and fulfilled life. These new perspectives massively helped me at the time to question the path I was following. When things aren’t working in life we have the opportunity to make different choices to be the best that we are destined to be.
Yoga’s transformational effects have fascinated me ever since, so much so that I retrained in 2013 to become a Yoga Teacher and then recently qualified as a Yoga Therapist. I am very much interested in the therapeutic use of Yoga and how it can help improve our health and happiness, and to reduce symptoms of chronic illness. Yoga’s philosophy and tools are designed for everyday life, to help us navigate life in a healthier and more conscious way. Our thoughts, our creative power is very influential, and can impact how we think about ourselves and others, as well as determine our actions that follow. If we can become more consciously aware, we can create a more positive and peaceful present moment existence.
I am a mother to three gorgeous boys and a dog. In my spare time I love being in nature, walking, gardening, I love to dance, sing and draw.
