Cata draws upon the ancient teachings of Hatha Yoga and the more modern Anusara to bring her nearly twenty years of practice to her students. She has developed her teaching style through her diligent practice and continued education which has naturally led her to incorporate daily meditation and advanced Reiki training. She seeks to bring the same passion and healing to her students as yoga has provided for her.

My name is Catalina, but everyone calls me Cata. Costa Rican by birth and living in Jaco for 19 years, it was here that my path in Yoga began.

After having my first child my body was just out of balance and everything ached. One day at the beach I met a woman who became my first Yoga teacher. From that moment on I have not veered from my practice. My life changed and I saw possibilities where I didn’t see them before… Yoga gave me so much fulfillment that I decided to share it with everyone I could.

I have had several Hatha Yoga and Anusara Yoga trainings and workshops in Bali, Thailand, India and Costa Rica and each time I am even more convinced that it is my passion. Holistic therapies like Reiki and meditation are my daily tools.

My goal is that everyone who comes to my classes feels able to do the postures regardless of their experience. The fast lifestyle does not always leave us time to feel and that is where we connect with who we really are. I am really convinced and from my own experience, that the practice of Yoga reveals a more powerful state of being of each one, everything improves!!!

The mat is like a mirror in which we see our light and our shadow, the fire of constant practice burns and transforms what is useless.

I hope to be a channel for each student to find the best of themselves.
