About Kool Kat Publications
Most Dedicated Yoga Instructor 2025 (Berkshire): Kate Oppel
Kate trained to be a Yoga teacher in the Bahamas in 1998 at the age of 52. She had subsequently trained in Singing and Guitar at the Guildhall school of Music and taught , part-time, in schools until she was 72. She had self-published three Yoga books, via Kool Kat Publications, by 2010. In 2011 she compressed them and added more sequences and published ‘ Yoga Sequences Companion’. In 2015 it was published by Yoga Words and the fourth edition has just come out. She published ‘ Yoga Footstep’s in 2017 and ‘Yoga Without Boundaries’ in 2023.

 She is still very active at 81 and attributes her resilience, health and wellbeing to her devotion to Yoga. She teaches six classes a week in the Newbury area. Some of her pupils are on benefits and struggle mentally. Yoga, and the support our Yoga community gives them, helps them a lot. She doesn’t teach Yoga for financial gain and those who can’t pay, don’t have to.

 Her teaching is very broad based, using ideas gleaned from many different sources. She adjusts it to the needs and abilities of her pupils
