My first Art of Pilgrimage session with Karen was inspiring and nourishing. I’m grateful to have this guidance on my pilgrimage toward equanimity and peace despite our tumultuous world. I especially appreciated the help in letting the energy expand out beyond my body into the world. Thank you Karen!
Yoga is the experience of being in this moment, right now,
fully inhabiting this body-mind, creating a state of clarity from
which we can act with authenticity, or at least have a moment
before impulsive reactions set in. Cultivating presence we relax
about getting it or not getting it and surrender to the moment as
it is.
In 2001, Karen founded Breathing Time Yoga, a yoga studio for
creating a community and a space for healing through yoga. After 20
years, in Octdober 2021 Karen closed the studio to transition to
teaching online group classes and 1:1 yoga therapy.
Karen is an educator, teaching the students what they need to know
to practice and how to match the practices to their unique needs
and interests. Karen teaches weekly classes, workshops on a variety
of topics, and works one on one with students in private yoga
therapy sessions.
Karen has been practicing yoga in one form or another for the past 50 years. She began her study of the Viniyoga approach in 1994 with Gary Kraftsow of the American Viniyoga Institute (AVI). Viniyoga focuses on how yoga can be adapted to serve individual goals and needs. She is an AVI Yoga Teacher (500-hr) and AVI Certified Yoga Therapist. Karen also holds an MAT from RISD.
