Kimberly Wharton

Before relocating to Austin, Kimberly was named in Backstage Magazine's 'Best of L.A.' under favorite yoga class. She has gone through trainings with Alan Finger (ISHTA lineage), Kia Miller (Yoga Works techniques), Jasmine Lieb (Therapeutics) and Jillian Pransky (Restoratives). She has also been studying the Anusara lineage with her teacher, Shari Goodhartz, and can’t help but apply her latest love into her classes.

Kimberly began her practice in 1998 after many attempts at trying yoga but never really resonating with it. Then she discovered Ashtanga. As an actor in NYC, she used her personal practice before every performance as a tool for focus and connection on stage, in addition to using it as a tool to deepen her breath as a singer. As her journey continued, she had the privilege to study with Jasmine Lieb for Therapeutics, where she discovered the amazing healing abilities of yoga. As a result, Kimberly had the opportunity to teach for Team Survivor—a non-profit organization providing free healing modules for women living with cancer.

Kimberly continues to deepen her practice daily as well as share her passion with her students. Whether the goal is to heal, to relax, to lose weight, or to find focus, Kimberly assists her students on their journey to feel better, to function better and to find their truth.

Random info: Kimberly was actually born on a PBS Special on Natural Childbirth. She can be heard as the voice of numerous children’s audio books and cartoons. She has a degree in Musical Theater and a minor in modern dance from the Boston Conservatory. For more info, check out her website.
