Cat Gavriusova

An avid yoga practitioner, Cat completed her training as a Hatha yoga teacher in 2016. She firmly believes that with the right guidance, yoga can benefit everyone, regardless of age, gender, size, or ability. For Cat, yoga is more than a personal practice. It’s a way of connecting with others through collective movement, teaching, breathing, and writing.

In addition to yoga, Cat has a background in rock climbing, as well as enjoying running, boxing, and circus arts. Exploring different movement disciplines definitely shaped Cat’s teaching style. Her lessons typically include traditional elements of Hatha and Vinyasa, alongside strength and mobility techniques “borrowed” from other sports.

With an English degree and journalist experience, Cat realized she could share her yoga experience with others, kickstarting her freelance writing career. Whatever the topic, she always tries to deliver a balanced account derived from her research, personal experience, and community feedback. The yoga world is so complex, it can be difficult to navigate! Cat hopes that with her writing, she can make a difference for someone who may just be looking to learn more about yoga.

In turn, teaching and writing about yoga allowed Cat to pursue her own dreams. In an effort to lead a compassionate and sustainable existence, she has left the big city life behind in favor of a small homestead in rural Lithuania. Now living semi-off-grid with her partner and a gaggle of rescue animals, Cat spends her free time growing and preserving food and making the homestead into a home.
