Catharine Larsen, M.A., 500 Level Yoga Instructor, completed her 500 hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training in the Himalayan Tradition at Yoga North studio in 2005. She has found all of the classes she has taken, as well as the yoga philosophy classes she has taught, to be life changing, spirit freeing, and heart opening. Catharine is a Licensed Psychologist who sees clients in her home office above the St. Louis River; she has a special joy in introducing clients to the possibilities of sandplay therapy. Catharine writes, "I approach teaching (and therapy) the same way I was blessed to be taught--that all life is our teacher, so notice with compassion, show up for your practice, and you will grow and bloom." Let my heart and body and mind crack open to make room for the Divine. CJL 2007
