CATALINA DE LEON
BY ANGELICA GAVALDON
See how she leads by example with a look at a day in her life :
Mornings Each morning , she wakes up refreshed and grateful for another day . First thing , she dedicates some time to her practices , which can vary from meditation to breath work , to positive affi rmations , as well as many other tools that help her align with her purpose . She then has breakfast , which is a cold pressed juice .
Midday Routine While her daughters are at online school , she usually uses this time to take her youngest daughter on a stroll to the park or beach . Afterwards , they have lunch as a family , which consists of soup , salad , and an entrée . For Catalina , family is a top priority , so she shared with us how time management is key . �hen times get stressful , she says to focus on the present and take inventory of what is no longer serving you and release it . The next step is asking yourself , what can you do in that exact situation ? If there is nothing you can do to control the situation , then the answer is to let it go and not waste time and energy trying to control it .
Catalina de Leon is a mother of three , with a peaceful soul that brings light to everyone who knows her . The Coronado resident is also a yoga lover and teacher whose class is quickly becoming the one that everyone in town wants to join - not only due to how good she is at her practice , but because of the positive energy that she transmits . I have always been drawn to people who look at life through a positive lens , make the best out of circumstances , and stay true to themselves . Catalina is a walking example of how , if we practice mindfulness and stay in the moment no matter how stressful life gets , we can enjoy life to the fullest . Catalina shared a quote she loves by Allan �atts with �B Magazine : “ Stop measuring days by degree of productivity and start experiencing them by degree of presence .” This quote has inspired how she has chosen to lead her life .

Afternoon Activities Catalina works as a yoga therapist� she found her passion for it when she started taking paddle board yoga classes , which lead her to training to become a teacher . �nce she fi nished training , she began working and connecting with people that inspired her . This is how she became passionate about healing and got on track to do what she does now . After work and activities are done for the day , she and her family have a light dinner , which might include homemade cereal , taquitos , beans or avocado .
Evenings Before going to bed , Catalina enjoys star gazing and meditating . One thing that helps her stay mentally and spiritually healthy is laying in her crystal bed� hearing the frequencies and feeling the vibrations . Meditation in general has given her so much peace and many answers , so she ends her day by going to sleep to guided meditations .
