About Karen
I am a Certified Yoga Therapist from Central Florida. In 2007, I discovered Yoga with an original goal to develop core strength. I fell in love with the movement, calming attributes and freedom, I experienced while practicing Yoga. In 2009, I began Yoga Teacher Training to develop a deeper understanding of Yoga Philosophy and to share my passion of Yoga with others. Throughout my training with YogaFit International and with my daily practice, I am experiencing an incredible journey. I have been teaching adults and children for over fifteen years. I am a Certified Yoga Therapist through The International Association of Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT). Through Yoga Alliance, I am an E-RYT 500 (Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher), Registered Children's Yoga Teacher (RCYT) and a Continuing Education Provider (YACEP). I received the following certifications - Yoga For: Brain Health, Active Adults, Wellness, Holistic Health and Trauma Sensitive Yoga for Adults and Children. As a Certified Yoga Therapist, I have developed yoga protocols for people with 1) Acquired Brain Injury, 2)Trauma, 3)Young adults with Epilepsy, 4)Children with Cerebral Palsy, 5)Those affected by the long-term effects of cancer treatment and 6)Spinal Cord Injury. I feel honored to be a member of an interdisciplinary research team, studying the effects of yoga on stroke survivors with aphasia.
Off the Yoga mat, I enjoy local and international travel, walking, dancing, snow skiing, being in nature and spending time with my family.
