Karen’s yoga journey began in 2015 when she joined 200-hour yoga teacher training, and leaving her IT job behind. During this process, she re-connected with her heart and discovered her love for healing and the body’s ability to heal itself through Aryurveda, an ancient holistic medical system originating in India.

She completed her 300-hour Ayurvedic consultant training in 2019 from the American Institute of Vedic studies with Dr. David Frawley.

In 2023, Karen completed 510 hours of Advanced Ayurvedic consulting with the Sevanti Institute, a group of “passionate Ayurveda educators who believe that the greatest medicine is derived from the body’s natural intelligence, and that true healing comes from self knowledge, new beginnings, healthy foods and balanced lifestyles.”

Karen’s teaching goal is to elevate consciousness in individuals and in the world. She combines both yoga and Ayurveda in her classes, as well as leading her popular Ayurvedic workshops. In her words, “These two powerful tools help me heal myself and others, and fill my heart with joy.”

Karen especially loves Hatha flow and Vinyasa yoga practices. In her free time, she enjoys playing piano, traveling, writing and spending time with family.
