YOGA Movement gets you out of your head and into your body, expanding the energetic space you take up and allowing you to settle into your being. Yoga creates a mind body connection through intentional movement, concentration, and breath work. The combination of these leads to a feeling of ananda, or bliss, and opens a space of self discovery that did not exist before. Explore a gentle, hatha, vinyasa, restorative or Power yoga with me and see how they are uniquely expressed within.

Karen was amazing! I didn’t give her a lot of direction and she absolutely gave us the best session we could have asked for. I booked her for my sister’s bachelorette party and she read our group so well and tailored the class to what we needed.

Planned a trip to Palm Springs with the family and wanted to do something special and awesome. Karen was just what we needed. A yoga practice with my three kids and wife was so awesome. We all enjoyed, kept things playful and Karen really made it special. The sound bath at the end really sealed the deal. I will always use Karen for our desert yoga retreats

I recently booked a yoga class with Karen and I can’t recommend her enough. She was punctual, professional, and had a wonderful, calming presence that immediately put the group at ease. We were a group of 10, and Karen kept the flow of the class smooth. Her clear instructions and gentle guidance throughout the session made it easy to follow along, regardless of skill level. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I look forward to taking more classes with her in the future!

Details: 10 students • 31 - 40 years old • 23 - 30 years old • Vinyasa Yoga • Beginner • Increased flexibility • Help with injury/pain • General fitness (e.g., weight loss, toning) • Relaxation • Meditation • My home, venue, etc.
