Cathleen admits that yoga is one of the "great loves of her life," and she never tires of seeing the changes that yoga can bring to her students’ lives.

Cathleen has been practicing yoga since 1985 and has taken training in teaching Iyengar Yoga. She has been an instructor since 1986 and has been teaching at JLYC since 1990. She was involved in a study with Oregon Health Sciences University studying yoga’s impact on healthy seniors.

By skillfully combining detailed instructions, demonstration and individual adjustments, she is able to guide her students towards a deeper sense of well-being. Her style is gentle, enthusiastic and supportive and her classes are perfect for those new to yoga.

When not teaching, Cathleen loves cooking, gardening, walking the trails in Forest Park, spending time at the family beach house in Rockaway Beach and collecting old, classic movies.
