Cathy,
I've been meaning to tell you that I feel very blessed to have "stumbled" into your class a couple of years ago...it was somewhat random, based on time/location, and I can't even imagine my life without all the good that's come of it, particularly by way of people, with you at the top of the list.
The other thing is the yoga itself, as you teach it. Honestly, I've practiced with many different yoga teachers and many types of yoga over the years--some even at Kripalu--and you have such a way of bringing light and joy and self-acceptance into your classes.
Thanks Cathy, for all that you.
Deborah
Cathy,
I didn't get to say to you tonight how fantastic you are and what a huge part of our lives you have become over the past ten years. Tonight at your party.....we all discussed how there is no one like you that cares about the poses or the alignment or the flows like you do. And also, you have built a yoga community. We have all grown up together with you and each other. I don't think other places have this type of thing.
So, THANK YOU for all you have done...blood, sweat and tears.....not only did you create a living for yourself, but you created a place for us to be healthyon a weekly basis...with yoga and with those quotes that always are exactly what we need to hear that week!
Thank you for being you, for taking such extreme care and for being there for all of us.
Love,
tami
Cathy -
I love your classes. You bring a personal element to the practice that is genuine. What I learned in class has helped my manage asthma, stress, and was the impetus to take charge of my own body and begin losing the weight that I've gained after 4 miscarriages in the last 3 years. (I have lost 13 pounds since Jan. 2!)
All the best,
Michelle
Dear Cathy,
Each time I leave your class I am taken with the wave of love you offer all
of us. Your gift is enormous and never taken for granted...I am blessed to
have found you and yoga at this point in my life. I find that the new
chapters require change which is always the constant...constant struggle to
just let go and live. So thank you.
Warmly,
Ginny
Cathy,
I wanted to share things I have noticed. I find myself in the middle of poses from class without planing to. Sometimes its what I need to do in the moment to continue the next moment better.
Deep breath too, helps to calm me in stress situations and even to complete a thought.
I am standing on my hands!!! I have no memory of Ever being able to do that! My flexablity, strength and calm is increasing all due to your instruction and inspiration.
With Love, Light, and Laughter,
David
Thank you, Cathy, for your enthusiasm,effort and expertise in helping us live fuller, happier and more stress-free lives.
Love, Martha
I am grateful for how yoga has become a very positive influence in my life and for you my wonderful teacher and friend. I know you know this but we learn a lot more in classes than just poses, lots of life lessons.
With Love,
Kim
Dear Cathy,
I would say that you are way up there on my list of what I am thankful for. I should have replied I ALWAYS want to be counted in on your classes or workshops. They have changed my life and I will never stop doing yoga with the wonderful Cathy Holt!!
Yoga is so much more than a class with you. It is a magical time of bonding with each other and with the spiritual world. I am so appreciative of the opportunity to share the experience with so many others.
We are all blessed to have your guidance.
Namaste,
Marian

Pat and I LOVED the Restorative Class this morning. It was grand, and we can see how much time and effort into making this such a worthwhile, enlightening, superb 2 and 1/2 hours. You were great and we got so much out of it. Thank you for having the class. I doubt that we'll ever miss one.
hugs, and thanks,
Carol and Pat
Hi Cathy,
Thank you for your kind words. I so look forward to coming back on a regular basis.
I can't tell you how much all of my training that you have taught me is helping me stay relaxed at this special time!
Claudia
Hi Cathy
I was so sorry to hear about your father's health issues. I could see how
deeply affected you were when you told us in class. I was grateful that you
could share it with us, and never cease to be amazed at how you are able to
continue to be so present and engaged with your teaching in the midst of
everything. One of your many amazing and inspiring gifts.
Yvonne
Cathy,
You deal with what life throws at you with grace and strength; and certainly are an example to your students of practicing what you teach.
Thanks for that.
Kim
Cathy,
I have always admired how you handle adversity in a positive way and keep on going. We mourn our loved ones who have passed on but it is so important to not let our grief drag us down and impair our lives. And you are truly an inspiration in the way you continue to look forward and not get mired down in grief. I know you are suffering inside though. Please continue your resiliant spirit. You inspire me.
With love and hugs, Ellen
Hey Cathy,
Welcome back.
As you continue to ponder God, the Universe and everything, and remember what it was you were doing before you got that phone call, I wanted to comment and commend what a marvel of a yoga community you've created here in this little burb. All these students and teachers learning from each other and passing on their particular joys with yoga is a wonderfully nurturing thing.
and so we flow.....

Hi there, and thanks for the poem. Thank you so much for inviting me to be part of the Monday classes. I am so enjoying the time with you, and the much-needed time to take care of my body and my soul. It feels like the most loving nurturing thing in the world, just being there in that room and doing nothing but concentrating on my body. What a gift.
Kerstin
Cathy,
In the corpse pose when you covered the top of my head with your two loving hands, my entire body fell into the deepest yoga state I have every experience. Your hands brought to me to my consciousness, not what's next? The depth of my breathing and totality of my relaxation was beyond anything I have know before. Your touch transformed me.
Thank you and Love,
AL
Cathy,
You are always professional and yet personally involved with your students. When you sign up to be in your class you are signing up to be cared for....and to be on a path that transforms your life.
A grateful student,
Sharon
