About Karen

I am Midwestern heart combined with Northwestern soul. Hailing originally from the northern suburbs of Chicago, I put my heart into my work, both as a special education teacher and a yoga instructor, in Portland, Oregon. Connecting with people is an inherent part of who I am.

With over twenty years of personal practice as a dedicated yoga student, I completed my 200-hour teacher training and became a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) through Yoga Alliance.

This path reflects a deep commitment to the practice, leading naturally to sharing its benefits with others through mindful, accessible teaching.
