Catherine McCabe

I have practised yoga since the 1980s, initially to manage scoliosis-related back pain, although I quickly discovered yoga also made me feel calmer and happier! I began Pilates in 2003 as part of my rehab following major surgery. I’ve been a teacher in schools and universities since 1993. In 2011, I began training in order to combine my love of teaching, yoga and Pilates. I hold Yoga Scotland’s 500hrs Teaching Diploma, Pilates Union’s CYQ Level 3 Diploma, the BWY Yoga for Pregnancy qualification, and Healing Space certification in teaching Yoga for Cancer. I enjoy developing my skills and knowledge: I’ve trained in Seated Yoga, and in Myofascial rIelease for Pilates. 

Pilates and yoga have had a transformative impact on my own health and wellbeing, so I love to share them with others – particularly those who may have previously assumed it’s not for them. I am passionate about creating an accessible, friendly and safe atmosphere in my classes, so people can progress confidently at the level and pace best for them.
