Kate Karpenko…

I have studied at The Yoga Institute and I have been awarded a diploma of Yoga Studies and I am a registered Level 1 trainer with Yoga Australia.

I proudly am a Yoga ambassador and trainer for Yoga For First Responders, which I studied in Chicago, USA under the Founder and CEO Olivia Mead. I was the first Australian graduate of this school, and I committed to pioneering this transformative yoga style in Australia.

I also have a certificate in trauma aware Yoga Education, including Post Traumatic Stress presentations and Neurobiology of Trauma through Frontline Yoga. I have also received a Modern Hypnosis Certification from the esteemed Tad James Co. I have studied Restorative Yoga with the respected Mitch Gibson, YIN Yoga with the valued Marianne Edwards and Antigravity Yoga with the knowledgeable Renee Lee Stevens.

I am a life long student and will remain committed to studying therapies to support my clients in their journey to heal, transform and expand to live the fullest life possible.

I am a multi-faceted modern woman. I am a proud mother to four amazing children and I have been married 20 years. The journey has been interesting, challenging and rewarding. I have learnt to be kind to myself and to others on this journey and yoga has been a big part of helping me to manage the guilt of trying to be a super woman mother and wife. Yoga isn’t just for the mat. I have also learnt to incorporate practices with my family and to keep my life in balance externally and internally. 

 This is just a short snippet of my journey. I look forward to meeting you and holding space for you in my class.
