Testimonials

info

Recently returned from cyoga retreat in Portugal, and already looking forward to the next one! Catie is not only a great teacher, creative and attentive to individual journeys, she also chooses the venue with great care so we benefit from a wholly experience, from daily yoga practices to delicious meals, as well as a variety of extra activities nearby. Everyone felt very welcome from the start, we progressed in our practice, and by the end of the week it was clear we had gained in wellbeing, wisdom, joy and friendship. 🙏

Nathalie, England

‘My retreat was truly unforgettable. Every detail was well planned, leaving plenty of space for rest, rejuvenation, and reflection. I loved learning new yoga skills in the shala with the rainforests and wildlife as a background. I returned feeling refreshed & inspired’.

Jessica, England

Catie’s yoga retreat in Morocco was better than I could ever have imagined. Catie has a unique approach to yoga and is able to create a truly wholesome experience for everyone within her class. Her knowledge is extensive and by understand each students limitations, helped propel students and me in particular to an unexpected higher level. I warmly recommend her yoga teachings to all students regardless of ability. You will learn and explore your soul, your body and mind, from a newfound perspective.
