WHat people are saying
“When I first met Cathy, before we even spoke one word, I knew she was special. Cathy has a beautiful, nurturing soul that heals, and offers the kind of teaching you can take off the mat into the world. Every time I take Cathy’s class, I feel so happy, because she makes Mondays feel like Fridays - every time.”

“This is one of the most fun yoga classes I’ve ever taken. The class is always different. Cathy is dedicated to her students, dedicated to making the class interesting and dedicated to giving her students a good workout for mind, body and spirit. I love her choice of music. I love that she focuses on different chakras. I have grown as a person and yoga student, by taking her class.”

“Cathy Dirkx has been my private yoga teacher for over a year.
It is hard to sum up in words what a wonderful teacher she is, and how much she has brought to my life and practice.
Cathy is a wonderful yoga teacher in general, but in the arena of “restorative yoga” she is truly gifted. She is warm and compassionate and tunes every session to my needs in the moment. If I need to talk she listens fully, she always responds with a remarkable level of wisdom and love and allows me to clear my mind to be ready for practice. She never arrives with an agenda so if I need to be woken up, energized or need to go into a quiet space she tunes every session to my precise needs.
I have a very busy psychotherapy practice and she helps me to be more grounded and present in my professional and personal life. I recommend her with full enthusiasm and would be happy to talk in person to anyone who may be considering engaging this special teacher - she is a gift.”
— Paul Josephson, Psychotherapist
“I had the honor of working privately with Cathy for a while - the restorative yoga was an amazing experience. Cathy’s extensive experience in the field is by far unmatched. Using various props to support and align the body, and a combination of essential oils, she guides you through the practice and takes you on a journey in a remarkable way, promoting relaxation , healing, and openness throughout the body.
I highly recommend Cathy to anyone who is looking for an exceptional yoga practitioner. Based on my experience, I encourage anyone interested, to treat yourself to a private session. I guarantee that you that you will be back for many more! The effect it has on your body is indescribable. Treat yourself...it is well worth it.””
