As a teacher, my goal is to help you determine how yoga is accessible to you at this point in your life, and provide tools and guidance to help you grow. Once this journey is chosen, yoga transforms from something you do into a way of life  a way that improves your health, outlook and physical abilities. I look forward to sharing in this journey and invite any questions you may have. Cathy Burke, E-RYT, YACEP holds a degree in Nutrition and Wellness and has been practicing yoga for 20 years. She completed her 200-hour training through Pure Power Yoga of Alexandria, VA in 2007, her Kids Yoga Training through YoKid in 2008 and her Prenatal Yoga Certification with Janice Clarfield of Urban Yoga in Vancouver, CA in 2011. She currently teaches at JOURNEYoga in Arlington, VA, Ease Yoga & Cafe in Del Ray, Alexandria, VA, and various schools and homes in the area. She provides Teacher Training and Nutrition Education workshops in various schools and with JOURNEYoga and YoKid. A life-long student, she continues to attend trainings regularly in a variety of yoga and health disciplines. In addition to teaching adult and children's classes in Northern VA, she has served on the board of YoKid, a nonprofit organization bringing yoga to children of all socio-economic backgrounds throughout the VA, DC and MD area.  An advocate and teacher of personal health, she provides a variety of yoga classes that truly encourage the student to explore his or her own limits and work towards exceeding them both on and off the mat. She believes that good will is the most important contribution we can make in this world and this comes through in her teaching. Previously an education director in the non-profit sector, Cathy understands the demands placed on us in today's society and aims to provide her students with an oasis where understanding, health and growth can take place.
