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.

Travel for me has never been just to see epic sh$t, it’s always been about the inner transformation that the outer journey brings. As much of a nomad that I am, my inner exploration has always proved more mystical than anything I could see on this planet.

I was very specific when I went to NZ for 2 months Jan-March. I was dealing not with just heartbreak but a loss of self, a degradation of power and a disconnect from my Magic. I felt those islands calling me to help me claim my life back. When I first landed, the spirits of the land spoke to me immediately, “We’ve been waiting a long time for you,” they said.

I spent the next months following my flow. I had no idea where the land would grab me but when it would, I’d pay attention. I meditated daily and did rituals in specific places. After hiking 40km on the Kepler, I finished with a ceremony. I dove into a freezing lake and burst my head through the surface & kept dunking myself like I was going through a rebirth. Afterwards I was alone and laid naked on a rock and watched the sun bathe the forest and water in sparkles. I hadn’t felt this alive in years. I finally was getting my own sparkle back.

While I could write a book about my adventures, this one was special to me because I specifically stayed alone. I needed to be solo. Friends tried to join me but I wanted to drive, camp, hike, climb and be alone. I needed to be friends with myself again. I needed challenges that I could conquer & ways that I could expand and take myself over. I needed God to love me up and I didn’t want anyone to get in the way. I got dirty, I climbed, I swam, I pushed my body & marched all over those islands. I needed to touch my limits, my power within, I needed to get tired, and full from life. I was stuffed with the beauty of NZ and I finally started seeing my own beauty again. I’ve never felt so complete.

My favorite part was how by the end I found myself crying daily. Not out of sadness. I was so grateful to be alive, to be here, to be me, to see the beauty of whatever was in front of me. To cherish just being. This is the art of living. Not the constant adventure.To cherish what’s in front of us. The magic has never left.

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

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.⚡️
