Meet Your Host: Catarina

Catarina is a classical singer and sound artist with a strong passion for embodied sound.

Catarina's journey with her voice whilst studying opera led her to yoga and she has specialised in using sound and voice to encourage people to feel, embrace and process all emotions that arise with no judgement; to be present and accept themselves as they are.

Adding to her work in yoga studios and schools, Catarina also runs community choirs and singing groups for people living with dementia.

Catarina creates an extremely empowering space, aiming to build practitioners' confidence in themselves by listening to their physical, mental and emotional bodies. She strongly believes that music and sound are universal languages and they have the power to bring us back to ourselves, but also to connect with each other, empowering communities and society.
