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.

Do you try to tolerate what’s actually intolerable? 🚫

If you’re an empath ✨, you probably know what I’m talking about—taking on pain, emotions, or thoughts that aren’t yours 🌀. Overriding your system’s truth because you were taught to “be nice” 🙃, “be polite” 🤝, or “give them a chance” 🌸.

Maybe as a kid, you had that creepy uncle 😬 or the “off” kid at school 🎒, but your mom told you to hang out with them. You learned to ignore your body’s instant feedback—that internal no ❌—and instead collude with someone else’s version of reality.

And now? You wonder why you feel drained 😮‍💨. Why you take on people’s energy ⚡. Why you override what’s true for you 💔.

Here’s the truth: saying no isn’t mean, it’s maintenance 🛡️. You don’t need to explain or justify it. You get to protect your field without guilt 💎.

✨ Ready to rewire the part of you that tries to tolerate the intolerable?

Yesterday I climbed a really high peak.⛰️
It was tougher than I expected—real mountaineering skills required. I’m in great shape and made it up there, but rehabbing two torn hamstrings made it…less fun.

Despite the summit being known for epic views, it was all fog and mist. I could barely see beyond the next step.

And still—despite the desire to turn around more than once—I’m glad I did it.

I’m in a big shift right now. Maybe you are too.
Just like this hike, there’s a lot of unknowns. All I had was my inner confidence and the one step lit up in front of me.

I’ve always been good at pushing myself. Not so good at honoring my limits.
Right now, my hammies want me to chill.
And my inner Artist? She’s ready to smother the Athlete—because she has some serious creations to birth. 🔥
She needs space. Chill time. Blank canvasses.

Honestly, I feel like I’ve already lived a thousand lifetimes—and the next one’s brewing.

I bet you’re being asked to surrender too—to the brilliant, unexpected you that’s trying to erupt.

So what’s stopping you?

Let’s do this together.
Consciousness has some big evolutions for us to embody.

Sending you love from a secret mountain town 💙 PS Happy Mercury Retrograde and Lion’s Gate & almost Full Moon. She’s full of so many cosmic plot twists & divine timings. But we’re going to a good place 😘

What’s Your Prison? 🔓💭

Is there a belief, goal, or habit that you think is leading you toward happiness—but it’s actually keeping you stuck?

✨ I used to spiral over mistakes (perfectionist trauma response, anyone?).
✨ I let fear around money block me from travel, love, and even the homes I wanted.
✨ I’ve clung to body image goals and diet patterns that didn’t actually nourish me.

But here’s the truth:
Joy, pleasure, and freedom can’t come from control.

We’re often more afraid of feeling joy than sadness. Crazy, right?

So I’m asking you:
What are the invisible prisons you’re still living in?
Old stories, patterns, or fears that are pretending to keep you “safe”—but are really just blocking your bliss?

💡What if you lived according to joy—right now?
💡What if you stopped waiting to “deserve” abundance, love, or delight?

You are here to be free.
You are here to be loved.
You are here to feel good in your body, your life, your soul.

Drop a 🔑 in the comments if this landed.
Let’s talk about real freedom.

With love on this magical weekend ✨

04/17/2025

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 cat@catkabira.com. 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 ✨🤸‍♂️💛
