Skrip, MS, LP, E-RYT 200, YACEP is a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance, which acknowledges the completion of yoga teacher training with a Registered Yoga School (RYS). She is also a Certified Grief Yoga® Teacher. Cathy believes the practice of yoga can be life altering. She teaches bodies to inform minds and movement to follow breath. She encourages the ethics of yoga, such as non-violence, truthfulness, contentment, and self discipline to extend beyond the mat. She enjoys introducing yoga to beginning students, aims to make yoga accessible to anyone interested, and loves building a sense of yoga community. Cathy began yoga teacher training after closing her daily private practice of 23 years as a licensed psychologist, where she specialized in serving individuals dealing with life adjustments, mood and anxiety issues, and histories of trauma. Her years of focus on mindfulness add depth to her teaching of yoga. Cathy is grateful to all of her teachers. She initially trained in the IYT tradition of yoga with Susan Perry, who learned directly from Joseph LePage at Kripalu. She also completed Trauma Sensitive Yoga training through Firefly Yoga International with Annie Kiel and enjoys ongoing continuing education for both psychology and yoga. Most recently, Cathy completed Grief Yoga® Teacher Training with Paul Denniston, also Kripalu trained and the founder of Grief Yoga®.
