East 2nd Street Yoga and Massage offers weekly Purna Yoga™ classes for the beginning or experienced yoga student. Purna Yoga distills and integrates the vast aspects of yoga into an invaluable set of tools for transformation and healing. Offering wisdom and techniques for the union of the body and the mind with the spirit, Purna Yoga teaches alignment-based asana, meditation and pranayama, along with nutrition and yogic living.

At East 2nd Street Yoga and Massage each Purna Yoga class is carefully crafted to teach alignment-based yoga postures, breathing techniques and methods for calming the mind. Because our classes are instructional in nature, the classes are not merely led yoga workouts or practices but an opportunity to learn how to do yoga for your body, for your life!

Catharine began her study of yoga in 1996 as a way to reduce the effects of stress in her life. Through her practice and teaching she found yoga to be a guiding force for her physical, mental and spiritual well-being. She feels better, is stronger, laughs more and enjoys life in her 40’s more than she did in her 30’s. She attributes this directly to her yoga. Studying regularly with her teachers, Aadil Palkhivala and Mirra, she is a member of the first class to graduate from the College of Purna Yoga in Bellevue, Washington 2006. The College of Purna Yoga is the only school licensed by the State of Washington to teach yoga and includes over 2000 hours of study.

In addition she guides Purna Yoga trips to India. Trusted and caring, she is honored to share her knowledge and experience with others.

Susan came to yoga with a desire to improve her strength and flexibility but found the rewards of her practice to be much greater that just those physical benefits. Her life has become more peaceful and centered because of her yoga. Susan is an active member of the PTA at her son’s school, is an artist and loves dogs! She joyously shares her knowledge of yoga with students in the Beginner Basics class while honoring each student and the art of yoga.
