Kathleen Leisure Haberstock

RYT-500

Kathleen Leisure Haberstock became a 200 hr certified teacher through Jaya Yoga Center in 2012, and taught yoga all over Brooklyn and New York City. She received her 300 hr training at Kripalu in 2019. Kathleen fell in love with sharing yoga, and finds joy teaching all ages: from children and teens, to adults and the elderly. Everyone can do yoga. If you can breathe, you can do yoga!

Her flowing and alignment based classes encourage exploration and self-acceptance coupled with tapas (discipline). Drawn to the physical practice at first, she later found the more profound changes occurred over time with a deeper mind/body connection. She has a deepening interest in pranayama (yogic breathing) techniques and meditation. She is also a Reiki II practitioner. With much gratitude to all her teachers (especially Carla Stangenberg and Yoganand Michael Carroll) and to her wonderful and supportive husband, Alan.

Tomas Klepach

CYT-200

Thomas Klepach has been practicing yoga for 30 years. He was trained as an instructor of Ashtanga in the Mysore style in New Zealand from 2008-2010. He is a faculty in the Science, Technology, and Society Department at Colby College and has led Ashtanga classes there since 2012.

He also taught in the anatomy lab for three years in the medical school on campus at University of Notre Dame, where he received his PhD in 2008. Bringing that diverse expertise together, he has intermittently offered a full semester course entitled “Anatomy and Physiology of Mindful Practice” in an integrated studies cluster at Colby entitled “Human, Kind, Body, Mind” since 2016.

Thomas offers an introduction to Ashtanga practice and philosophy, rooted in his deep understanding of the body. He encourages students to focus first and foremost on the pranayama, or breath practice, which forms the template and foundation for the asana and the higher meditative aspects of Ashtanga. He prioritizes helping practitioners to develop the skills necessary for self-practice, and values the power of non-verbal time during practice as a way to quiet the mind and connect more deeply with the body.
