About Me.

Hi, I’m Karen​

I’m a yoga teacher (YA E-RYT 500), massage therapist, and former cardiac nurse with a lifelong interest in how we move, heal, and live well. 

My yoga journey began more than 30 years ago as a way to manage stress and anxiety. What started as a personal practice soon became a path of deep transformation — one that continues to evolve and inspire me every day.

In 2005, after completing my 200-hour training at The Life Centre in London, I began teaching and haven’t stopped learning since, having to date studied  over 1000hrs of movement based training and continuing to actively study new forms of movement that spark joy and intrigue as I go.

My Approach​

My teaching blends anatomical understanding with curiosity and compassion. I believe yoga isn’t about achieving perfect poses, but about cultivating awareness — learning to listen, to move with intention, and to meet ourselves exactly where we are. 

My classes are steady, flowing, grounded, and accessible, offering a balance of movement and stillness, strength and rest. Whether working one-to-one, in group sessions, or on retreat, I aim to create a supportive space for self-discovery and connection.

​Life in Lefkada 

Now based on the Greek island of Lefkada, I teach private classes both online and in=person, offer bodywork treatments, and host seasonal yoga retreats inspired by nature and the rhythm of the seasons. The slower pace of island life continues to deepen my appreciation for presence, simplicity, and balance — values that shape both my teaching and my everyday life. ​

Beyond the Mat​

I find joy in many forms — walking in the mountains, swimming in the sea, doodling in my sketchbook, cooking for my family, or spending time with my husband, son, and our dog, Scout. These simple moments are where I reconnect, recharge, and draw inspiration for my teaching.

Yoga remains my anchor — a practice that connects me to presence, vitality, and joy. I’m grateful every day to share that experience with others and to keep learning, always as a student first.
