What others are saying
"Thank You!"
Karen, I just want to say an enormous thank you to you for embracing me into your little world, and for introducing me to other people who have loved ones with alcohol and drug addictions. I've actually come home to a husband. I didn't know I could ever come home to. He's come out of the cloud of all sorts of trauma and things that he's been through and he's actually noticing me for being me. I don't know where our relationship as husband and wife is going from here, but we had a wonderful weekend together. Discussing things that I wish I could have talked to him about back in 1999. Thank you thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart and all through my body and the big smile on my face right now. Thank you very much.

"The BEST Experience"
I did yoga for the first time in a few years and I had the BEST experience! This class was specifically focused on the heart chakra and on my spiritual well-being. My favorite part was the meditations at the beginning and end of class because Karen has a voice made for guiding meditation. Her voice is soothing, relaxing and comforting - perfect for not only the meditation but for the entire class. I learned a lot of challenging postures that focused on opening my heart and bringing me closer to myself. We also focused a lot on balance too. If you need a space tor relax and put your own health and happiness first, Karent's class is the best place to go.

"Highly Recommend"
I've enjoyed online yoga class with Karen. She is meditative and gets us in tune with our bodies and spirit. Her class is wonderful for centering us for the day. The stretches help us expand our versatility, and the energy she creates stays with us and gives us a positive mental attitude. What a way to begin the day. I highly recommend Karen's yoga class as a gift to yourself.
