About Cathy

Cathy is a long-time teacher (since 1991) and practitioner of yoga and healthy living. The roots of her teaching are expressed through her own self-realization, insights and creativity, knowing that her teaching comes from Divine Essence. Though she has maintained a connection to the Kripalu lineage and Yogi Amrit Desai for many years, she teaches the "yoga of her heart." Her principles of teaching are to assist the students in creating an overall healthy lifestyle, helping them to embark on their own inner journey to Peace, Joy, Wellness and Love. Her style of teaching can be easily understood and applied, regardless of age, health, lifestyle or spiritual belief.

The long-term success of our daily yoga program is a result of the experience and involvement of instructor Cathy Woods. From the developmental stages to the present, Cathy has played a vital role in incorporating quality yoga classes into our resort's offerings. These one-hour classes are frequently the highlight of our guest's entire stay. Most notice her gentle and calming nature and appreciate her support and reassurance. She has been a joy to work with both on and off the mat!
