Kate Friberg

Kate Friberg is an RYT‑certified Yoga Alliance instructor who collaborates with Rumi Mind Health to provide therapeutic, nature‑rooted yoga experiences. Her teaching is inspired by the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether, which Kate weaves into sessions to help students cultivate grounding, fluidity, strength, balance, and inner spaciousness. With a deep personal connection to the natural world and a longstanding intuitive practice, Kate creates yoga experiences that feel both stabilizing and reflective, inviting students to explore their inner landscape with gentleness.

As a student of clinical psychology and art therapy, Kate approaches yoga as a powerful somatic tool for emotional regulation and mental health support. Kate is particularly interested in how yoga and meditation can aid individuals navigating mood disorders, PTSD, and treatment‑resistant depression. Kate's classes emphasize accessibility and inclusivity for everybody and every body, offering supportive language and thoughtful modifications so that each student can move in ways that feel safe and authentic.

Kate’s teaching style blends warmth, humility, and presence and values tradition over trend, grounding the work in classical Hatha philosophy while honoring each student’s lived experience. Through partnership with Rumi, Kate hopes to help people reconnect with themselves, their bodies, and the natural rhythms that support healing and growth.
