In this moving episode of For Mannerless Women, Catherine, the first Kenyan woman to lead a yoga teacher training in Africa, shares her extraordinary journey of healing and transformation. Born and raised in Kariobangi, Catherine discovered yoga by accident, but it soon became the tool that helped her navigate the challenges of her upbringing, heal generational wounds, and support her mother through recovery from alcoholism. You will hear how:

  • Yoga became a path of mind, body, and spirit healing
  • Catherine rebuilt her relationship with her mother through forgiveness and compassion
  • She transformed pain into purpose by becoming a teacher and mentor
  • Her nonprofit, Yoga Link Kenya, now empowers teenage girls and young mothers to embrace self-love and reclaim their futures

Catherine’s story is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the power of turning personal healing into community impact.

✨ This episode is an invitation to witness how one woman used yoga to rewrite her story and inspire others to do the same.
