PY has the best instructors and classes! If your thinking about starting yoga or need a place to call home, this is it!!!
Cathy has been studying yoga at Purna Yoga East (formerly East
Second Street Yoga) since 2006. She began to learn more about yoga
after interviewing Catharine Eberhart (PYE director) for an article
for the local newspaper, The Clayton News-Star, back in 2002.
Although her busy work schedule as news editor at the newspaper and
an even busier family life initially kept her from pursuing a yoga
practice, once she attended her first yoga class she was hooked!
Over the years, Cathy has experienced the many benefits of yoga,
including increased strength and flexibility and a greater sense of
well-being that comes with taking time to care for oneself.
However, she believes the greatest gift of studying yoga at Purna
Yoga East has been the wonderful friendships she has developed with
her “yoga buddies” – caring instructors and fellow students. She
also has had the privilege of attending workshops with Purna Yoga
co-founder and master teacher Aadil Palkhivala as well as Bryan
Legere, co-inventor of the Great Yoga Wall. Originally from Long
Island, N.Y., Cathy and her husband, Jerry, moved to North Carolina
in 1988 and to Clayton in 2001. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree
in journalism and communications from Buffalo State College, and
works as box office manager at The Clayton Center. Cathy received
her RYT-200 certification in April 2013, and she is eager to see
where this new path on her yoga journey will lead.
