KATE CAMERON
instructor

Kate has been teaching yoga since 2016. She fell in love with the practice when she moved to the other side of the country. On her own in a new city, yoga was the thing that brought her a deep sense of peace and clarity she hadn’t felt in a long time. 

Yoga brought so many benefits mentally and physically - but most of all, it gave her a place she felt she truly belonged and helped her to feel comfortable in her skin. Since completing her yoga teacher training Kate has taught in Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Costa Rica, and Argentina and continues to lead retreats in new destinations.
