YOGA DESCRIPTIONS:
Tuesdays Gently Moderate Hatha Yoga: An All Levels class with a little more relaxed and gentle approach. Warm-ups are done seated then we stand for strength and stretching poses before coming to the floor again. Most weeks we incorporate hands&knees movements and postures as well as floor prone and supine ending with relaxation pose. Variations are given so you can enjoy the most beneficial class for your body. This is a lovely way to start the yoga week!
Thursdays Gently Moderate Hatha Yoga: Also an All Levels class with a little more movement and options to challenge yourself IF you want to. Warm-ups are done seated and then we stand for strength and stretching poses before coming to the floor again. We incorporate hands&knees postures as well as floor prone and supine ones. Because the class is longer we will have a longer relaxation pose along with seated breath awareness.
Friday Gently Moderate Chair Yoga: With no getting down or up from the floor this class will be great for a wide variety of yoga practitioners and a great way to end the week! Your options will move from a more gentle one to those with more of a challenge. Our warm-ups will begin sitting on the chair and then we will stand for poses for which you can use the chair for stability (or not) but also to deepen postures as desired. We end sitting again for some final stretches, relaxation and breath awareness.
Yoga, May all beings find happiness, may all be free of disease, may all see what is auspicious, may no one suffer, OM peace, peace, peace.”

Karen has been trained in Yoga since 2008 and has been teaching ever since while consistently learning more through workshops and a 500-hour training program through Himalayan Institute where she also trained as a Yoga Ayurvedic practitioner. The principles of Ayurveda greatly influence her approach as she teaches people who are primarily in the Vata stage of life which has unique requirements.
