As a young adult Karen taught herself meditation to quiet an active mind. In 1999 she
developed a consistent Ashtanga yoga practice to relieve workplace stress and became
a 200 RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher) with Yoga Alliance. An opportunity arose to teach
yoga to children at a local school. The children were remarkable; they inspired Karen to
become a 95 RCYT (Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher) through Young Yoga Masters.
Karen appreciates working with children because together they create a world full of
imagination, empowerment, joy and love. Currently, Karen teaches four classes a week
in schools as well as family yoga classes because caregivers of any child may feel
stressed at times
