About

Karen blends her over two decades of experience and leadership to create her own unique style that is accessible to all. She encourages students to challenge themselves in a smart and strong way and pushes the boundaries of what a yoga class could be by considering yoga an approach to movement, not a rehearsal of poses. Athletic, flowing, alignment based classes where she skillfully integrates the poetry of yoga philosophy and yoga asana with energetic music is her trademark. Karen gets her students to move, expand, balance, and relax, and does it with integrity.

Currently completing her MA in Yogic Studies at Naropa University, Karen is a scholar- practitioner. Her many certifications include Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 and in-depth studies with senior teachers of Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Power, Iyengar, and Yin yoga. A former professional athlete’s trainer, TV fitness personality, studio owner and entrepreneur, Karen’s diversity gives her the opportunity to offer greater reach and support for the health and well-being of students and teachers in her community and beyond. One of her greatest joys is sharing her knowledge with teachers and students who participate in her training programs so they can teach and practice more wisely, sustainably, and mindfully. Karen is dedicated to the practice of yoga and her passion for the time-honored tradition continues to grow with each day on the mat. She currently lives and teaches at Life Time Palm Beach Gardens and is a lead trainer in their upcoming Yoga Teacher Training.
