Family Yoga and Yoga for teens is taught by Catherine Lesage

Catherine discovered yoga while hiking in the Canadian Rockies in 1999 and then embarked on a path leading her to a deeper understanding and appreciation of yoga and yoga for children. She is fascinated by human movement and she believes that providing children with the opportunity to explore their world through play and movement will help them become more physically, intellectually and emotionally intelligent. The body is a wonderful machine as well as a great tool to understand yourself and the world around you. Once she discovered yoga, she realized that it brought another dimension to human movement and her teaching of physical education: teaching the body, the mind, and the soul.

She is a proud mom of 2 beautiful daughters who are little yoginis themselves. She is also a lawyer, a teacher, a Physical Education specialist, a Radiant Child Yoga Program teacher, a Certified YogaKids Teacher and a proud ambassador for Lululemon Athletica in Westboro, Ottawa. She has taught different subjects in the schools for 6 years, from pre-k to grade 8. She was privileged to teach French, English, and Native students. After a long professional journey taking her to many interesting places, she combined her two passions - movement and children - through yoga and started Littlefeet Yoga. Children get to play yoga and learn through play and movement in a bilingual and safe environment. She also offers adult workshops on children's and teens' yoga as well as training for school teachers on how to integrate yoga in the school based on the multiple intelligence model of Howard Garner.

Catherine finds her inspiration through movement, children, the outdoors and being with people. Her passions are now leading her on a mission to spread the word on yoga for children and its benefits.
