about.

My name is Mary Catherine Starr and I'm a yoga instructor, yoga studio director, painter, and aspiring CrossFitter (and vegetarian!) living and working in Arlington, VA. 

Starr Struck is a lifestyle blog focused on my adventures in leading an active and yogic lifestyle, pursuing my artistic passions, and making as much time as possible to enjoy the simple things in life. My goal is to inspire *YOU* to create a bit more space in your own life in order to make time to do whatever it is that nurtures you most. Because what's left in life if we don't pursue what we love? 

A few more details about me: I'm originally from from Atlanta, GA, but am now living in the DC area after spending time in both Danville, Kentucky (where I attended the amazing Centre College) and  New York City (I miss you, dear East Village walk-up!). I currently spend most of my time doing one of the following activities: yoga, CrossFit, working/teaching, eating apples, painting, and blogging (yay!). 

Although it feels like yesterday, it's now been over 2 years since I took the plunge and quit my "full-time job" to  focus on teaching yoga and painting. It's been an amazing adventure! Thank you for joining me on my journey as I continue to learn how to find balance in my busy but inspiration-filled daily life :) 

You can stay in touch via my blog, by joining me for a yoga class, or by scheduling a studio visit to say hello! 

Namaste and thanks for visiting,
Mary Catherine
