Karen was absolutely wonderful and very responsive. It was easy to set this scheduled event up with her and she was flexible to make adjustments as needed. She arrived on time and was ready to go and led us in a beautiful practice. The special touches she incorporated, such as the playlist and individual gifts brought my event to life. The ladies that were on the trip loved reading our affirmations out loud and it was such a special moment. I would highly recommend Karen for your next yoga session or group event. Thank you so much!

Karen came to do a private class for a bachelorette party and was amazing! She tailored the class to our wants and needs and was beyond nice and responsive throughout the entire booking process. We added a sound bath at the end of our session and it was the perfect morning activity! Highly recommend and will be booking her again when I am in town!

Karen was fantastic! I hired her for a girlfriends bachelorette party and she nailed it. We were looking for an easy morning flow and not only did she provide mats but she also let me put together a playlist our bride would love. The (hungover) girls in the morning were a bit skeptical of physical activity after a night out but it turned out to be one of everyone’s favorite parts of the trip. Would absolutely hire again!

Details: 9 students • 23 - 30 years old • No yoga preference • Beginner • Relaxation • My home, venue, etc.

Karen was a great instructor to have at our bachelorette. She catered the music to our taste and led us through a vinyasa flow. She did a great job of balancing a class of beginners and intermediate yogis, and a surprise pregnant attendee! We opted to have the additional $5 sound bath, which was a nice treat. She took pictures throughout our event and sent it to us. Thanks for kickstarting our tri, Karen!

Karen is the best! Plain and simple. Karen came out to our Airbnb for my girlfriend’s birthday celebration for a private yoga session. There were 11 of us in total. Booking and coordinating was super easy and she was flexible for our party. She brought her own yoga mats and came exactly on time. Karen seamlessly led us through the session. It wasn’t too difficult or too simple, and we were able to keep pace throughout. She tailored it to our group specifically (a mixture of hungover newbies, elderly relatives with joint pain, and people with existing injuries). Everyone felt relaxed and refreshed and energized after. I myself went to a state of relaxation that I normally have a very difficult time going to. I highly recommend the soundbath. Everyone was talking about that it after.

Details: 12 students • 23 - 30 years old • No yoga preference • Beginner • General fitness (e.g., weight loss, toning) • My home, venue, etc.
