Karen has been practicing yoga since 1999 when she was diagnosed with ME, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. With dedication the practice completely turned her life around and aided a quick and full recovery. As a result, Karen wanted to influence others lives the way her yoga teacher had influenced hers.
In 2005, Karen qualified as a Hatha Yoga teacher after completing a 3 year diploma with the British Wheel of Yoga. Karen subsequently qualified as a Pregnancy Yoga teacher, a Thai Yoga massage therapist and a certified teacher in Yoga for ME and Chronic Fatigue.
Karen has also trained with Sarah Powers and is now an Insight Yoga instructor and dedicated practitioner and teacher of mindfulness meditation. Her Yin Yoga classes incorporate Taoist philosophy, meridian theory, mindfulness and positive thinking.
Karen teaches classes, workshops and 1:1's in the Bournemouth and Poole area and is available for retreats and workshops further afield.
Karen passionately believes that yoga is accessible to all and through regular practice you can have profound effects on your mind and body, creating both inner and outer strength.
