Cat is the founder and director of the West Asheville Yoga studio where she teaches therapeutics and prenatal yoga classes. Cat has been teaching yoga for 12 years, starting her teaching journey with classes for pregnant women. Her therapeutic classes involve rolling out the trigger points and then stretching and strengthening. She loves teaching these therapeutic techniques to pregnant women as pregnancy can be quite an uncomfortable experience for many women. While pregnant herself, Cat spent a lot of time practicing yoga and singing kirtan, call and response chanting in sanskrit, the sacred language of yoga. Cat felt supported, more connected to her baby and her pregnant body, and “held” by the sacred energies as she chanted through her pregnancy. These experiences led her to study with some of the highest mantra teachers in the West, including Sri Swamini Mayatitananada, the late Namadeva Acharya (Thomas Ashley-Farrand) and Dr David Frawley. 7 years ago she founded Japa, a local kirtan band, and they began to play in and around Asheville, singing sacred songs.
Cat has always sung mantra songs to her pregnant mamas at the end of prenatal yoga classes and many of them have asked for a CD of her music to support them at home and during childbirth. Thus the idea for “Kirtan Music for the Sacred Journey to Motherhood” was born.
Enjoy this 1-hour podcast where Cat shares about the Sacred Journey to Motherhood and the many special kirtan songs she recorded for her newly released CD.
