Meet Cat.

Some teachers change how you move. Others change how you live. Cat Kabira belongs firmly in the second camp.

An esteemed yoga teacher, healer, and guide with over 22 years of experience, Cat has quietly been shaping the global landscape of yoga and healing for decades. As a founding teacher at The Yoga Barn in Bali, she has mentored hundreds of teachers since 2002, influencing not just how yoga is taught, but how it is embodied. Her work has always gone far beyond the mat.

Cat’s path into healing is deeply personal. In the late 1990s, she turned to yoga, energy work, and meditation as part of her own recovery from eating disorders and trauma. What began as survival slowly became something richer: a reconnection to joy, agency, and inner truth. That lived experience now underpins everything she offers, bringing a level of empathy, safety, and credibility that can’t be learned from textbooks alone.

Now based in Bali since 2006, Cat is the founder of Yoga Energetics and the Kabira Energy School, an internationally recognised training institute accredited by the IEHA. Through these platforms, she supports students and practitioners in understanding their energetic systems, healing patterns, and innate intelligence, not to “fix” themselves, but to live more authentically and fully.

Her work draws from a wide and rigorous foundation: Yin, Hatha, and Vinyasa yoga; movement arts; craniosacral therapy; hypnotherapy; trauma-informed practices; and decades of hands-on teaching. Yet Cat has a rare ability to make complex systems feel accessible and grounded. There is nothing abstract or performative here, just practical tools, clear guidance, and deep respect for the human experience.

At the heart of her work is her signature approach, Living Therapy. This methodology gently challenges the idea that healing is about coping or managing. Instead, Cat invites people to move beyond survival and into thriving, reconnecting with their natural vitality, creativity, and sense of purpose. Ancient yogic wisdom meets modern psychological and energetic insight, always applied in a way that feels relevant to real life.

Cat’s retreats and trainings attract people who are ready to go deeper, teachers refining their craft, individuals navigating transition, and Seekers who sense there is more available to them than the life they’re currently living. Her spaces are intelligent, safe, and quietly powerful, designed to create lasting change, not fleeting breakthroughs.

At We Love Transformational Travel, we admire Cat for her integrity, depth, and unwavering commitment to embodied transformation. She is a guide for those who want to meet themselves honestly and live from that place with courage and clarity.
