Cat Kabira Yoga

Cat Kabira Yoga Empower yourself Kabira Energy School. Strengthen and uplevel your own energy, become a certified practitioner in energy healing.

Cat’s philosophy is “You are your own guru,” and every experience with her offers techniques for you to step inside yourself to find your own power and to truly see yourself. She found craniosacral therapy a perfect complement for her work as a yoga teacher as she could help her students with physical injuries and tension. When her clients require more support for emotional, psychosomatic, or karm

ic patterns or contracts, Cat will sometimes utilize her more “shamanic” approach. To Cat, the body is a wealth of multi-dimensional history and healing and she is continually fascinated at the interplay of physical anatomy with all of the other levels of being. No matter what, trainings and sessions with Cat are an opportunity to experience yourself in a deeper way and to step into your truth – both as a yoga teacher and practitioner and in your own true potential in this lifetime.

Happiness is a practice. Do you agree?

We have choices about where and how we orient. We are constantly making choices in the entire creation of our life, but sometimes we forget the powerful Artist that resides inside.🔥

I’m actively owning this power. Not buying into my mind that can slide into regret or doubt. My best compass is my body. I can feel a pulse or expansion when I’m following my flow. A contraction or stomach ache when I go against myself.

A client said the other day she never considered making pleasure a priority in her life. We’ve been wired for a variety of reasons to not. There’s a guilt around pleasure and even shame. I’m not talking about the pleasure that gives you a headache or that you regret it. I'm naming the pleasure that brings you back to yourself. That reminds you of who you are, and that creates expansion. It’s a joy pulse.✨

As kids, we feel it, know it, and follow it. As adults, for various reasons, we dismiss, ignore, and squash it. Your power IS your joy and pleasure.✨

I deal with clients who have difficulty making choices and can spin so much in their heads and overanalyze. Let’s pause. The answer is in the body. In the pulse that makes you feel alive and more like you. It sounds simple, but we can complicate it. Do you agree?

I’m sending you so much love to you today.💖 I’m nearly done with my adventure in New Zealand and heading North, though South, I’m returning to you a lot. I promise. This whole life is an adventure. Don’t forget it. 💖

Love you, and happy Sunday 🌞

I’m so excited for my upcoming Energy Healing Certification Practitioner Program happening in Ubud this Dec 6-20th. 🥳.

If you’ve wanted to immerse yourself in the world of energy and train to become a practitioner, this is perfect for you. The group size is intimate (max 12), so you get personalized support.

🌟 Not only will you learn how to sense and support someone else’s energy and offer both in-person and online sessions, this is your opportunity to understand, manage and uplevel your own energy body.

You’ll learn:
✨Your unique way of sensing energy
✨How to skillfully and safely work with those with a history of trauma
✨How to stay clear during and after sessions (this will help you in your personal relationships as well)
✨Effective practices to help your clients relieve physical pain, emotional blocks, and gain mental clarity as well as a way to move forward with purpose and direction in their lives

🌟 This training is perfect for you if you’re highly sensitive, an empath, or have always felt a calling to work with energy. If you’re a yoga teacher, you’ll learn ways to incorporate this work into your teaching to groups and privates, for coaches, therapists and psychologists, not only will you have another skillset, you can use your ability to read energy to understand more deeply what’s going on for your client. If you’re already a healer, you’ll have tools to help you manage your energy much better to stay energized and clear in your work.

🌟This school is based on biodynamic craniosacral therapy, shamanic practices, somatics, trauma transformation and 25+ years experience as well as my own gifts.

I’ve got 2 slots left, I’d love for you to join!

DM or email me at [email protected]. I’m happy to chat with you to see if this program is right for you. 🤗 Here’s a link to see more: https://www.catkabira.com/100-hours-energy-school-training

10/28/2024

Let Life take care of you.This can be tough to swallow. For me,I’m the queen of control.Not in a rigid way but more,I’ve got my s**t together,I’ve got my own back.There’s a subtle distrust that something will fall apart if I don’t manage the details.

The gifts I’ve gotten from the many deaths I’ve encountered (I swear I don’t know what I was writing into my life script before I incarnated.“Let’s have your important people die in 10 years and see how you manage this.”) and the recent breakup of my boyfriend is surrender. I don’t get to control.I can’t stop this.I can exhaust myself thinking and trying or I can just lay down, let go and surrender.
Can I trust that there’s a divine plan?That there’s a current taking me to a good place?I can be stubborn and rational and tell you,“No.”I can also tell you in the decades I’ve been alive,well, yes. I’ve had a lot of magic, miracles & synchronicity, meaning life isn’t just meaningless; there’s some divine pattern in place.

I’m sitting in the Void right now. Sometimes I feel energized,sometimes, I’m terrified.Maybe you know exactly what I’m talking about.The only option I have in feeling so tender right now,is to open.Can I trust?Can I let others take care of me? I’m finding that Life loves me in small and big ways.
I had to pack my ex’s house today,and as grateful and peaceful as I felt the other day, today I was sobbing and snotting and feeling like he just walked out yesterday.I was pi**ed off by my feelings. I also could hold the complexity of loss, love, bewilderment,longing,attachment, anger, and all the other layers together in one multitextured song.We are Music constantly changing notes after all.

When I hit the place that feels like an end, there IS relief.I open my hands.There’s nothing I can do anymore.I let go.That’s the magic.That’s the peace.That’s the essential gesture to let Life come in with her Huge Loving Grace and take care of you.I work with people who never were properly nurtured.We wire this in NOW. Life’s a big Mama,all she wants to do is love all of us up. And as I sit here with my snot nose tear-stained cheeks,I’m gonna let her in. Will you?This is the biggest power of all. To let Love in.

The other night I went to dance and….after 6 minutes I was done. I stayed a little longer (5 mins) to humor my friend but I knew that no part of me was engaged.
My favorite thing is that when I listen to music, it usually moves me. I feel it in my body, I taste the notes on my tongue, and I see geometry when I dance (yes, when I’m sober😛). But when it’s not for me, nothing happens. I get a little numb and I’m pretty disinterested.

I’ve learned over the years that in making choices, you gotta follow what lights you up. 🌟 Enthusiasm (from Greek: En theos- with God/Spirit) means that when you’re enthusiastic, you’re on your path, baby. You just need to follow those lil’ lights down the road. This will not be a well-mapped out 5-year plan. It’s a moment-to-moment experience where you’re surprised and bedazzled.

You also don’t get to choose what you like. Trust me. I try to be that person who loves an ecstatic dance on a Friday night. For some reason, I just don’t, even though I love to dance. The biggest mistake is judging what gets you off instead of simply owning it.

I have clients with chronic anxiety, and usually they're not honoring their boundaries meaning they're trying to like or be okay with something that simply doesn’t work for them.

We all do this. We want to belong, whether in a group or a partnership, a well-thought-out plan, or the dream we’re creating for our future or the Dream with our partner.❤️

But following our light means we get real, we get raw, and we have courage (Courage: Fr. Coeur: With Heart). This courage means that we have the guts to drop the false safety plan of our mind and be open to a more (surprising and expansive) now. ✨

It’s simple to follow the pulse of your heart, the delight of your body. However, you must first be IN your body to feel it. Then, understand the unique way that your body communicates your Inner Guidance. There are pulses and sensations you can feel that will tell you YES and NO, among so many other nuances. You’ve got all the answers inside. Truly. Follow your delight and allow yourself to Feel and Dream BIG.

Happy Sunday and enjoy the magic of your upcoming week ✨🤸‍♂️💛

I’ll admit I’ll miss this house or at least leave it with a feeling of gratitude. That’s always been a practice of mine: leave a home or country with gratitude (also good to have that feeling with a job or relationship too☺️)
When my bf left, I didn’t want to stay in the house; it was too painful. Luckily I had a tour in Australia soon after. I set the intention when I left that I’d come back feeling lighter and able to stay in the house for the rest of the month. And for the last 2 weeks here, this is what I’ve done. I’ve taken over the space with my magic. I kid you not, there are flowers blooming everywhere, golden dragonflies visit at 7am, and I get baby avocado blessings daily 😝. I love watching how the light constantly changes, a peeling golden light that dances through the floors and walls throughout the day. My favorite is the hammock. I sit at dawn and dusk and talk to the trees and flowers. And at night I listen to music, create, do energy work and watch the stars as I hang around. I also invited important friends to come over and play to help transform the energy as well.

As an empath, I tend to contract myself when I live with others and it’s so important to remember to stay expanded as one’s full self. With some systems, it’s easy to do, with others it’s not. And alone time is always essential to drop into that Divine-time. I’m feeling peaceful lately and interested to see the next home-travel steps. Still a bit of a divine surprise. 💫

With that said, you can catch me in Ubud teaching classes and workshops at The Yoga Barn in Nov-Dec and of course, I have my magnificent Energy Healing Certification Practitioner Program happening this Dec 6-20th. Come see me in Bali or maybe I’ll hop into your country soon in 2025 🤗🤸🏽🌺

“Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.”

This is the song I woke up with. I was talking with a friend about breakups and heartbreak (there’s a “Heartbreak Club” forming, wanna join?) and he said the biggest pain for him was the death of the Dream. I get it. You get it. You meet someone, there’s delight, there’s magic, there’s hope, there’s craving, there’s projection. And what’s real? The difference between illusory love and real love. In processing my breakup, I’m so clear on how we projected our desires and fears on one another. How can we be seen when this happens? Or be seen? Or show up as ourselves. The power of space, sans projection.

Today I feel clear and expansive. I’ve got my Cat-joy back. And then my heart has waves of sadness that I just hold and sit with. The textures of the heart unwinding, cracking, rebirthing itself into something even bigger. It takes a lot of guts to feel and grow. You know this. There’s a compulsion when we’re in change, no matter what kind of change, to reach backwards or want to skip forwards. And f$ck the power to be in it. The dark that has so much richness. And if we sit steadily enough in it, our eyes begin to adjust, our senses sharpen. We start to sense what we haven’t noticed before. There’s a new way forward. An even better way.

My question to you (and myself): If we have the power to create the Dream, what are you dreaming next? How expansive, delightful and energizing can it be? Happy Sunday. Greetings from my dreaming board 🌜💫⚡️

Your energy is your currency. You know this, I know this, and yet somehow there are times that we betray ourselves.

⚡️”I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.”⚡️ “The Invitation,” Oriah Mountain Dreamer

This is the dance we do, how to manage our energy, how to nourish our light, and even go beyond maintenance. What would it be like to touch our limits?To feel the pleasure (and exquisite risk!) of full expansion. I don’t know about you, but I find myself reaching and then somehow, based on old wounds, limiting beliefs and insecurities, I compromise. I’m not talking the kind negotiation that is necessary in relationship dance, but the way that somehow we say yes when we mean know, we leak our energy, and then we wonder why we’re tired, sick, or unhappy.We’ve got a crazy amount of energy accessible to us. The entire universe wants to pour herself through you. We incarnated to give the universe a way to feel, see, sense, explore and play.

When I started to run energy in a vertical way, from the ground, through my body, and to the sky, I could feel how much energy I have and how much easier it is for me to be in my flow, trust myself, feel good in myself and feel joy! 🤩 Then I could sense how I have particular chakras that, instead of running energy vertically, scatter or leak. The ways I give myself away. You’ll know you’ve done it when you’ve got an ache there, among other things. I’ve given my energy away because I think I don’t deserve it, I’m scared I can’t support myself, I think someone’s smarter/better, among so many other things. I’m curious how you’ve found that you’ve given yourself away? Sacrificed that which is most sacred to you. We do this all the time. I teach boundary workshops and they sell out because it’s such a nuanced dance and our subconscious beliefs and old wounds still run our show.

I’m writing you today because I’ve got a f$ckton of energy. Joy is beaming through me. I’ve called myself back. You can too. This is the dance. You’re valuable, essential, and the most powerful one that you will know. Claim yourself, you’re worth it.⚡️

10/16/2024

I was talking with a client yesterday and she confessed her “guilt” around being so happy and satisfied when she’s alone and worried that she might be setting herself up for loneliness.
In listening to her I reflected back that, in knowing her, her alone time is essential to resource, gain clarity in her life, clear her energy, access her depth (and have fun!🥳)

I too share that worry that I have too much fun by myself and I also hit these deep spaces of loneliness. This is a human condition: how to meet ourselves in our loneliness. My boyfriend and I just broke up and I’m meeting that deep void and loss that is truly painful. And yet I know that in the void, there’s this dark rich unknown that holds power for expansion and new beginnings. My best art comes when I meet myself in my pain and loneliness. There’s waves I get to ride from tangled heaviness that morph into wild light. 💫✨💫

When I started my healing journey as an anorexic, the practices that worked for me were the ones that helped me meet myself in my center and be with all that’s inside. It wasn’t just pain that I was meeting, I truly was meeting the universe inside of me. I’m not talking cliched “namaste” but truly that experience of “Omg God/the Universe is inside of me. How did I not know this?”

Life becomes fun and magical when we stop creating from just a 3-D mental plane and when we drop so deeply in the expansion of this multi-dimensional reality. This morning my heart ache 💔 moved into letting Life meet me. I’m not lonely, I’m not alone, Life is my best buddy. And in this open world of every possibility, how, my dear friend Life, how are we going to play today? ⚡️✨🤸🏽‍♀️✨🌈

We are all initiating into Love and letting love in. It’s the biggest wave that wants to consume our whole being into unimaginable delight and unknowingly we can keep it small and fragmented. This is my practice: in this world of impermanence my art form as a human is still committing to presence: How will I let love in today? ♥️
Sending love to you today (and remember Life’s your best bud) ♥️✨♥️

We did it! 🤸‍♀️

On September 19th we completed my “Energy Body Boot Camp” at in Ubud. What a potent 5 days! 🔥

✨ Ground, Boundaries and Flow! ✨

🌀 We started with why grounding is a game changer and how it’s essential to thriving in life.

🌀 In our exploration of boundaries, it’s realizing our beliefs and insecurities that keep us hooked, taking on others’ energy, and why it’s hard for us to feel comfortable owning our truth.

🌀 Flow was all about pleasure and play and why this is ESSENTIAL in life. What would it be like to build your life in a way that grounds you, that you want to show up for, that’s following your own delight?

💛 I’m grateful to the women who showed up for our 5 days of dropping in deeply. I’ll admit that none of us wanted these 5 days to end!

✨A special thanks to Francie for her magic and joy in vocal activation ✨

🙏. Sending love from Bali! I’ll be running more boot camps and retreats soon, both in Ubud and elsewhere. Have a beautiful weekend!

Hi Superstars! 🌟
Happy full moon to you! 🌕 🌕 🌕
I’m so excited to share with you my “Energy Body Boot Camp” happening in Ubud this Sept 15-19 at Swasti Eco Cottages! ⚡
This "Energy Body Boot Camp" is an opportunity to deep-dive into your unique energy body and strengthen and support yourself in a way that will uplevel you somatically, mentally, and emotionally. The three pillars of this boot camp are Ground, Boundaries, and Flow.

This boot camp is for you if:
🌺You’re highly sensitive and you often feel overwhelmed by how much you sense or feel in your life. It’s time to make your sensitivity a superpower so that you enjoy how you’re wired and realize what an asset it is for you personally and professionally.

🤗 You’re an empath. Learn about your energy field and how to manage it in relation to others. Discover how you might twist, shapeshift, take on, give away or play small instead of holding the space that’s true for you. Find new ways to take up space and show up as you. Hone your skills to function as a healthy empath so that you’re free from taking on anyone else’s stress or pain and can stay with yourself.

🌿 You feel lost, stuck, or disconnected in your life, learn how to get more connected to a deeper more meaningful part of yourself so that you can start to create and respond to your life in a new way. You’ll spend 5 days with beautiful souls from all over the world who will provide you with an environment of support, caring, and empowerment.

In these 5 days, you’ll connect to yourself on a somatic, mental, and emotional level with the help of essential subtle energetic practices that will impact and support all of these layers of you. ✨

To find out more information, DM, Whatsapp me or email me at [email protected]. You can also check it out here: https://www.catkabira.com/energy-body-bootcamp

You’re in time for the early bird as well, so grab your spot! I’d love to see you in Ubud! 🤸🤸🤸

Whew! Leaving South America today! Was in Argentina and Chile since December and the most epic ending was trekking Torres Del Paine. Great weather, amazing views. I was so sad for it to end and am already hankering for the next adventure. Portugal is the next stop for a few days!! See you soon!

Perfectionism: How it affects choice-making:💫

One thing a student chatted with me today was her challenge around making choices and how she ends up going into a freeze state and either scattering so much and losing energy OR ends up doing nothing. This can all come around wanting to make the “best” choice. Underneath it could even be a fear that there’s a highly negative outcome if you don’t make the best choice.😅

This has definitely impacted me as well so that even when I’m following the wisdom of my body, the fear of making the wrong choice can get me into self doubt that I ignore my inner wisdom and impulses of delight. As a result, I can end up overthinking/spinning out and get caught in regret and not enjoying or committing/being present with wherever I am. 💫

How I’ve worked with this:
🌟My boyfriend calls this “low-risk investment.” Sometimes the freeze state I get into is over small choices where the risk is low and easy to rectify or the loss isn’t too high. This is helpful for those of us who end up overthinking all/most choices.
🌟🌟Enjoying my choice. Usually, the mental pattern around doubting one’s choice also means you’re questioning yourself and being a “Debby Downer” to your enthusiasm. First, choose where there’s the most energy/enthusiasm (remember enthusiasm comes from the Greek “en theos” or “in spirit/with God”) and then commit to it. 🧡Don’t be an as$hole to yourself and question yourself. Let yourself set that compass, follow the momentum, and enjoy the ride. There’s no perfect choice. Life is meant to have wonderful surprises. We can’t plan or control much but we can enjoy it while we can. So I practice enjoying where I am and know that wherever I go there are waves.🌊My power is to surf with joy and expect wipeouts and this can all be fun. Surrender to the secret surprises that life has to offer🏄🏼‍♀️.
