About Karina

Hi, I’m Karina Hebbard, a fully trained and qualified Children’s Yoga and Yoga Therapy Teacher, certified by Zenergy Yoga, who wrote the Standards for Children’s Yoga Teaching in Australia. I'm a Mum and I work part-time as a Teacher’s Assistant at a primary school in the Adelaide Hills.

I am proud to have created STRETCH Kids Yoga, a materialization of dreams and 30 years of experience in health and wellness. 

My prior careers have involved working mainly with adults and seniors as a remedial therapist and teacher of pilates and rehabilitation exercise programs. It highlighted to me how important the need is to teach PREVENTATIVE fitness, health and wellbeing - to CHILDREN, as young as possible!

With rising statistics of children facing mental health issues like stress, anxiety and depression, causes close to my heart, my focus is on empowering children with healthy life strategies that build self-acceptance and self-love, resilience and positive self-esteem.

Outside of yoga, I’m happy being in nature – gardening, walking, camping. I love body balance classes, music, kitchen dance parties with my daughter, crafting, cat cuddles and smiling at the small things in life. 

I look forward to welcoming you and your children to STRETCH Kids Yoga & Mindfulness!
