     Karen's intention is to leave students feeling empowered, centered, focused, and inspired to continue the yoga practice off the mat with an emphasis on the principles of mindfulness, awareness, patience and a deep reverence for life. Karen aspires to hold space for students to dive deeper into their practice both physically and spiritually, and to connect with the beauty that is within and all around.

 

     Her passion in particular for Restorative yoga springs from her resonance with Desikachar’s teaching that each individual has a point where practice begins for them and that no two bodies are the same.

     Karen believes that “as individuals we need different poses for body equilibrium at different times during our lifetime…as we grow in our practice, it is for our unique evolution and not a competition with self or others. What we create on the mat is body nurture and a space for self awareness to take beyond the mat to our family, friends & co-workers. As a culture, here in the Western World, we are encouraged to do more, faster and harder. I like to take an approach in which we remain mindful in our own bodies and I am there to guide the student to the potential within their distinctive beautiful temple; their body in their own time!”
