Happy Heart Wellness is 10!
Happy Heart Wellness is 10!
A young me!
When I set out on this journey, I was unsure it would work.
After 20 years of personal practice, I’d gotten my yoga training certification, but I had no clients yet.
I hadn’t even taught many private sessions.
I knew no one who made their living teaching private yoga.
I had no sponsors, affiliates or partnerships. (That continues today.)
I had only a sincere desire to help people through yoga.
And I had, and still have, a strong work ethic.

This past weekend, I’ve reflected on my last 10 years of serving the Westside of Los Angeles.
In meditation, faces of past clients flashed through my mind. I wonder where they are now, and hope they are doing well.
So many people over the years.
People with back pain, neck pain, tight hamstrings, tightness in their belly.
People post surgery, going through separation, enduring cancer, surviving addiction and treatment centers, transcending the death of parents and the death of children.
BIRTHS!
People surviving trauma, people moving, people getting married. People retiring.
HOW CAN I FORGET THE PANDEMIC!
Teenagers, seniors.
Anonymous people and famous names.
So much collective human experience in these 10 years.
I’m grateful to have been chosen by all these people.
And I’m proud of the reputation I’ve built on a simple premise—to do my absolute best at being of service, one client at a time.
Thank you, All.
Thank you, Source.
Namaste,
Catherine & Satya

![For the past few Sundays, I’ve been taking a Yin Yoga class at my local hot yoga studio. The class itself is unheated, but the room is always warm from prior classes. It has been a revelatory experience.I arrive and see few people in the dimly lit studio. Someone is already wearing an eye mask, another has their limbs draped over a bolster. These people are ready to relax!I make my way to a front corner and assemble props, remove extra clothes and get ready to settle in. Ambient music plays and I begin some Myofascial Release with this tool and close my eyes.Immediately I’m faced with how tight my body feels. This might strike you as strange because I’ve been a yoga teacher for 11+ years and practicing for 31+.Does that mean yoga doesn’t work? [continued on the blog]
