M,OTR/L

Karen has been dabbling in yoga for over 30 years, starting a consistent practice around 2010. Inspired by her strong and compassionate mom who deals with the challenges of Parkinson’s, Karen became determined to create a healthy path for herself as well as explore ways to best support her mom.  In addition to yoga, her passions include exploring all areas of self-growth, spirituality, the law of attraction, longevity, and healthy lifestyle choices, along with spending time outdoors, dancing (especially at music festivals), and being around family and friends. She completed her 200-hour “Hard and Soft” yoga teacher training with the Hard & The Soft Yoga Institute and Heartsong Yoga Center in East Longmeadow, MA, in 2023. Karen has a joyful energy and is excited to share her love of yoga with others. She enjoys the flow of vinyasa-style yoga, gentle yoga, as well as Ashtanga and Present Power style yoga. She strives to mix elements of those into her classes. Karen is an OT in early intervention and lives in South Deerfield.
