Becky Karpovsky

Certified yoga instructor, Becky, received her training at the Kripalu center in Massachusetts in 2011. Since moving to Austin she has taught classes at Soma Vida, Community Yoga, and through her own private practice: Oy Yoga. Her interest in yoga began in college through her studies of theatre and dance in which she began exploring different breath and strength techniques. She explored a wide array of yoga classes including those in the Astanga and Anusara yoga traditions.  Now her yoga work informs her performances and vice versa, carrying her practice with her off the mat. She aims to utilize her background in diverse movement to make a fun body positive atmosphere. The Kripalu tradition, in particular, has truly enriched her classes and perspective on yoga as a non-judgmental, non-competitive, lighthearted  practice. With her Certification and insurance, she teaches throughout the Austin area, giving everyone and anyone the opportunity to practice the yoga that feels right for them. She plans to continue her yoga education at Kripalu through their 500-hour training program in the fall of 2012. Her classes consist of a diverse arrangment of continuous poses, relaxation, and meditation, allowing students to have their own individual experience and leave rejuvenated.
