Catherine Zehner, CYT, RYT
Catherine began practicing Yoga in 1999, after a suggestion by her mother who was concerned about her coping with anxiety and depression. She had found her own personal practice to be such a positive transformational inner process, that she decided to teach Yoga to others.
After the diagnosis of her youngest son having Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and other challenges life put in front of her, she is grateful to have the teachings of Yogic philosophy and practice.
Catherine received her Teaching Certification through FYB Yoga and Pilates school in Grafton Wisconsin under the instruction of Debra Henessy, ERYT 500 and Registered Yoga Therapist through IAYT. Catherine is a registered Yoga teacher with the Yoga Alliance, and has taught various classes to children, teens, adults, and seniors. She has presented classes for Affinity Integrative Healthcare in Oshkosh, Theda Care, The Christine Ann Center for Domestic Abuse, The Women's Center at UW Oshkosh, Neenah and Appleton School Districts, Teacher Inservices, Fox 11 News Good Day Wisconsin and PBS Early Childhood Conferences.
Seeing the positive response from teaching and presenting outside a studio atmosphere, she became inspired with the idea of having an inviting home based class, and bringing Yoga out to the community, wherever good space was available and for people who wanted to join together and practice Yoga.
She draws inspiration from her two children Ryan and Nicholas, friends, students, family, as well as great teachers she has come to know on her journey. Catherine feels grateful to have found the practice of Yoga and meditation, and feels blessed to share the gift of Yoga with others.
"Waking up to one's true beauty is a blessing, and Yoga can help us to realize that beauty."
“Catherine is a high energy and knowledgeable yoga teacher. She is kind, supportive, funny and fun. I would follow her teachings anywhere.” ~Deb G, Neenah
“I found yoga years ago when I as trying to get a handle on my anxiety. While, I have been trained by other yoga teachers nothing compares to the level of professionalism and enthusiasm that Catherine has for yoga: from the nurturing environment she provides to her dedication to her students. I always leave yoga with Catherine relaxed and rejuvenated. I count my blessings daily, and Catherine is one of them.” ~Karla L, Neenah
“For me, Catherine's yoga class provides a touchstone for my week. Regardless of the pace of daily life and the stress that ensues, her class gives me the opportunity to breathe and regain perspective. It's like meeting and welcoming myself home each week.” ~Cate R, Neenah
