Catherine Galli (aka Cat) was first introduced to Meditation and Tai Chi sometime back in 1985 as a Tae Kwon Do student. It wasn't a daily practice but it was enough exposure for her to know she liked it. "Even at a young age I felt the benefits and effects of Meditation. It was not only an outlet from the physical activity I was doing but brought a sense of peace & calming to my life that I wasn't necessarily getting at home. A few years later as a sophomore in high school she took Yoga as what she explains for all the wrong reasons, I didn't really know what yoga was, but heard I could sleep in gym class and get an easy passing grade. But it only took one class to become hooked. The physical practice, and guided meditation was something I not only needed in my life but craved." -Cat
As a college student she took Stress Management as an elective and laughs as she looks back on it now. "I was just under twenty and surrounded by continuing Ed. students in their upper 60 to 80's. But again, not only was stress something I was unfortunately accustomed to but I was also aware it was unhealthy and knew that there were ways to cope and tools to combat the insanity of every day life." -Cat
It wasn't until after collage and after working in the corporate financial world for four years that she decided to make a major career change. "As an active Massage therapist since 2001, I still love what I do. My life path, the journey and interactions with all the good and not so good is what has led me here today. I am beyond excited to be able to bring all the modalities that I so wholeheartedly believe in to every body in stress." -Cat

Jackie
Jackie's introduction to yoga began in 2009 before her feet even touched a mat when she took an Asian studies class called Zen and Yoga as an elective at Seton Hall University. There she learned yogic philosophy and read Deepak Chopra The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, which changed her life and set her on the path to a physical yoga practice. Jackie received her 200 hour teacher training back in 2014 from Soul Power Yoga in Marlboro and has been teaching in the area ever since. She believes yoga is for everyone & her classes always focus on breath. Jackie lives in Keyport with her fiance Nick and 2 cats, Marv & Arnie.
