In this episode of Life – An Inside Job podcast, I have a wonderful conversation with Scaravelli inspired Yoga teacher and trainer Catherine Annis. I’ve been lucky enough to benefit from her classes over lockdown and have found them super-interesting because the focus is on our inside experience, not what the pose looks like. After a class when she was encouraging us to kind-of NOT follow her instructions, I really wanted to talk to her more.
I am so grateful Catherine was generous enough to lend her time. In our chat we ponder on:
- How to move when your body doesn’t want to jump up and down any more
- How therapists and teachers’ voices can penetrate and wound
- Catherine’s dance training and how she came to yoga
- How we internalise critical voices as real truths
- How sexual trauma can be re-triggered from hip-opening
- How to welcome more diversity and POC into yoga
- Competition in the yoga studio
- A great tip to empty your mind
- And of course Catherine’s tippity top tip for a great inner world
You can find out more about Catherine’s yoga teacher training here and her regular classes here
