Growing up in East St. Louis, IL, Catherine had little to no knowledge of yoga; it was a practice that felt worlds away from her daily reality. This early lack of exposure is what fuels her passion today ensuring that yoga is accessible and welcoming to everyone,
regardless of where they start.
​
Catherine’s journey on the mat began in 2019 while navigating a high-pressure career as a management professional. Understanding firsthand the demands of a fast-paced environment, she found yoga to be a vital sanctuary—a way to slow down, reconnect, and restore both mind and body. What started as a personal tool for balance soon evolved into a mission to share the transformative power of mindfulness with others. After earning her 200-hour certification in 2022 and joining the GoYoga Express team in
2023, Catherine’s teaching became a global adventure. She has led classes across the serene landscapes of Tulum, the mountains of Gatlinburg, and the historic shores of Greece. In 2025, she reached a new milestone by completing her 300-hour advanced certification, and she is thrilled to bring this deepened expertise back to her local community.

In the studio, Catherine emphasizes mindful transitions and breath awareness. Her goal is to empower students of all levels to cultivate deep self-confidence and a profound trust in their own bodies. She provides a grounded, supportive space where practitioners can build a sense of peace that they can carry off the mat and into the world.
