Biography
Cathy Valentine is a 200 hour certified Yogi with over 15 years of teaching experience. Her style has often been referred to as a mix of skill and spirit as each of her classes combines the physical challenge of Yoga asanas with a spiritual undertone, creating what has been referred to as an “alluring” experience. Her love of Eastern philosophy, spirituality and understanding of anatomy are all weaved skillfully into her teachings. Her approach to teaching is “user friendly and hands on” which allows for both, the very beginner and the more advanced student, to be challenged. By combining these skills with the ancient teachings of Yoga, Cathy’s goal is to encourage her students to find insight and answers to life’s deeper questions, creating transformation and liberation.
Without a doubt, teaching Yoga is a gift Cathy feels compelled to share with her fellow men and women. From the very beginning, this journey evolved effortlessly, from finding the money for her teaching certification to coming up with limitless ideas for her classes, where no two classes are the same.
Cathy I’m so happy that we cross paths your yoga teachings are simply the BEST!!!!!
Your yoga instruction has truly changed my life! People often ask me, how I do it all and find balance. It is through my yoga practice and meditation that I feel “connected” and centered. My pranayama practice follows me throughout the day….at meetings and even in my office. My desire is for everyone to find their center and be their authentic self. Thanks for sharing your story and for your encouragement.

Cathy is an incredible yoga instructor. Her knowledge is without bounds. She constantly amazes me and definitely teaches me something new with every class I take. I have been taking classes with Cathy for 3 years, once or twice a week, and I feel I have not even scratched the surface of her extensive knowledge and “gifts”. I would recommend her classes to anyone, beginning and expert, she can relate information to both very well.
Thank you Nancy! You’re so sweet!
Cathy, it is a testament that you have been gifted to teach classes at the National Harbor with all of its distractions: our gazing audience, noise, restaurant food scents in our breathing space; and yet (I) am able to concentrate, center, focus on and benefit from your workouts. Also, your class welcomes diverse ages, sizes, ethnicities. Look forward to more “movements” with you. Rock star…thank you again!!
