Dar Ta' Zeppi
Yoga
Cat Calabrese was born in England and spent her early childhood living in the English countryside, where she was lucky enough to be surrounded by fields, forests and her first love, horses. With an Italian father the family eventually moved to Milan, Italy, giving Cat her first experience of culture shock and sparking a love of travel that would stay with her throughout her life. At the age of 14, the family moved and settled in Gozo, Malta.
Using Malta as her base Cat has travelled extensively, starting with Australia, where she took her first Yoga class 10yrs ago that sparked another love that has continued to grow ever since. A trip to Asia lead her to India where she spent 4 months exploring and discovering Yoga through various teachers and styles.
Cat has always been drawn to teaching, starting with teaching horse riding and then teaching English, she has an outgoing personality and enjoys helping people to achieve their goals.
Once settled back in Malta, Cat developed her Yoga practice into a life style, through a more regular and dedicated Yoga practice she found an inner peace and sense of well-being that in the past she had struggled to maintain. After experiencing the positive changes in her own life she decided the next and natural step would be to start teaching Yoga. Cat returned to India to obtain a Teacher Training Certificate in traditional Eight Limbed Ashtanga yoga, a certification by both Indian standards and Yoga Alliance.
Cat now teaches in both Gozo and Malta and writes articles on yoga for life style magazines. Her teaching style is a mix of Hatha and Ashtanga with a strong emphasis on correct form and alignment. Classes focus on breath awareness and finding both stillness and strength within each asana (pose), creating a space for a calm mind to be unified with a strong healthy body. Meditation and self awareness integrated with relaxation techniques help students to find balance both during yoga practice and in everyday life. These classes will leave the student feeling relaxed, restored and invigorated. Cat’s approach to teaching is light hearted and warm with an understanding of each individuals needs, her aim is to help her students open their hearts and minds, find inner peace and strength and work towards healthier bodies and happier life styles.
