I came to yoga several years ago seeking peace and healing. I found that and much more. Little did I realize how much my life would change as a result. I have always been active and love the outdoors - hiking, cycling, paddle boarding and more. Staying fit and healthy feels good. Yoga taps into all of that and goes even deeper, offering tools to bring together full integration of mind, body and spirit.

Helping others realize their full potential has long been my passion. I have a graduate degree in counseling psychology and corporate career in talent development. Bringing all of that together, I have completed over 1,000 hours of study to become certified as a yoga therapist.

What is Yoga Therapy?

"After discussing my medical history and my desired outcome, Karen created a tailored plan based on my needs. What I learned from her was invaluable: movement, breathing exercises, and meditation practices, all of which I continue to incorporate in my daily life." AF

Yoga therapy is a whole person approach to bringing about harmony of mind, body and spirit.

Through the lens of yoga therapy, I bring in tools to balance body and mind with physical movement, breath exercises, mindfulness, meditation and affirmation uniquely tailored to your needs.

Benefits of yoga therapy can include reduction of physical discomfort, lessening anxiety, depression, and stress, and improving overall mental and physical well-being.

I love this work because it brings together all of my strengths and my passions. I truly believe it is what I was meant to do and I’d love to share it with you!

Corporate Wellness

On-line yoga and meditation classes are a wonderful way to improve overall wellness and well-being in the work place. A 30-minute movement or meditation session is an easy individual or team offering that can energize and provide a much needed break in the work day. Pulling the team together for an all day meeting? A yoga break is just the thing to kick off the day or add some lift to the afternoon.

Coming from 20+ years in the corporate world, I have first hand experience to share!

"A huge thank you Karen - it was awesome. You really shaped it to the context and what we needed." LW

It has long been my dream to live

close to the mountains.

It took lots of planning, hard work and uncertainty,

but above all .. trust in the journey.

Now I wake every day to the view of

the mountains through my window.

Good things happen when

you step outside of your comfort zone.

Thank you for visiting my website.

I’d like to leave you with this gift of

a mountain meditation.

May you always realize your dreams!
