Meet the Team

  • KACPER CHUDZIK

    CO-FOUNDER, CENTER YOGA

    Kacper started practicing Yoga in New York City in 2010, and immediately became immersed. One particularly humid summer night, after an exhausting, packed yoga class the teacher closed the practice reading “The Self is unborn, undying, and the same in all Beings.” He suddenly felt his heart open, hearing something that felt so true, and he let go of the path he was on for the pursuit of the Self and sharing Yoga with anyone who seeks it. He got his 200HR in 2011, his first teaching gig shortly after, and his journey as a teacher began.

    Now, over a decade later, he feels eternally grateful for the lineage of Yoga and Chinese Medicine that has made him the person he is today, a 500 RYTT yoga teacher, licensed massage therapist, and proud co-owner of Center Yoga. With all his heart he truly believes in these teachings and sees the benefits every day in his friends, colleagues, and clients.

  • ARIADNA IGNATENKO

    Ariadna’s yoga journey began 8 years ago when she met her first yoga teacher Tatyana Savina, who introduced her to pranayama and Hatha yoga. Ever since, she’s dedicated herself to following the yogic path and maintaining the awareness of feelings, thoughts, actions, emotions, and the breath.

    She has a 200hr YTT from Atri Yoga School, Rishikesh and a 100hr Ashtanga YTT from Pure Yoga West, NY. She has taken countless workshops and classes with some of the most talented and inspiring teachers of our time: Serchmaa Byamba, Yulya Mihailova, Mihaela Karkia, Phillip Askew, Scott Harig, Eddie Stern, Sharath Jois, Isaac Peña, Dharma Mittra, Adrian McCavitt, Saraswathi Jois, Virgile Peyramaure, Olaf Triebel, Urnaa Amarsanaa, Kino Macgregor and many, many others.

    Continuous exploration has led her to deepen and broaden her practice through various sequences and patterns of movement. Ashtanga, arm balance, contortion, acrobatics and pilates have enriched her life and brought more balance, cheerfulness, and wellbeing. She can’t wait to share it with you!
