Anatomy Training

Since 2021, Cátia has been teaching the anatomy portion of 200-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings, blending her extensive background in Occupational Therapy, Tom Myers' fascial work, myofascial training, and osteopathic studies. With hands-on experience working with hundreds of unique bodies, she delivers interactive, engaging, and playful sessions designed to help students fully embody the biomechanics of movement.

Her approach integrates yoga classes and active exercises, weaving anatomical knowledge into practical understanding. Cátia’s goal is to empower students to confidently apply their anatomy insights to both their personal practice and teaching.

Cátia available to teach anatomy for 200-hour Yoga Teacher Trainings, advanced teacher trainings, and bodywork courses.

As well as having a deep understanding of mechanics, Catia has an amazing intuitive knowledge of the human body, for movement, and also for the bodies energy fields.

She is intuitive, compassionate and warm as a teacher, and is able to convey information in an approachable and intelligent way.

  • Cátias massage course is just wonderful, I cannot recommend it enough. She's an excellent teacher and her love for what she does shines through every interaction. The yoga classes, the massage training and even the meditations were all connected. This is a well-thought-out,  intensive course, where you can learn about fascia and body rhythms from an anatomical perspective and also get to know more about Eastern concepts, such as energy lines. The massage techniques are rooted in Thai Massage but were always applied in a safe and mindful way. I enjoyed the variety of the training and while it can be quite a workout, you also get massages every day, which is very nice. You don't need to work in the healthcare field to benefit from the course. If it has sparked your interest, you should definitely give it a go."

  • Learning the 'what' of thai massage techniques, sequences, theory and philosophy is one thing, but learning the 'how' a completely other thing. Cátia excels at teaching both. I've been fortunate to complete multiple courses with her over the last years (starting out as a complete novice), and each time the experience was profound and transformational. Her trainings are jam-packed with practical guidance as well as having a strong focus on stimulating the student's ability for presence, intentional engagement and loving kindness. To watch her work during the training sessions is immensely inspiring: an experience and a gift in and of itself. As a person she sparks authenticity, patience, kindness, making students of all levels feel at ease and encouraged. I can't recommend her enough as a teacher and as a masseuse. If you are considering signing up for her course: stop considering and just sign up! :) You won't regret it, of that, I am sure.

  • really enjoyed participating to the Integrated Thai Yoga Massage cours given by Catia for so many reasons. This cours had for me the perfect balance between theory and practice. I came back home with a lot of new knowledge and enough confidence and tools to start giving massage to others. The massage Catia teaches us includes a powerful mix of techniques offering to this thai massage a unique and really pleasant « gentle touch » so much to give than to receive. Catia is a wonderful, passionate professor, therapist and person. She is incredibly knowledgeable and generous in her teaching. The special bounds created between the group, the atmosphere of mutual trust and respect that Catia nicely helps to acheive, added up to the pleasant experience. Personnally, I did not only feel it as a cours, but also as a personal development journey. I am so thankfull to Catia to have given me wings and the opportunity to bring well-being to others. It is a priceless present. I really recommend this cours to any person interested in terapatic and well being massage.
