Yoga Instruction

“Be good to yourself and just breathe”

My Yoga Instruction emphasizes awareness of mind and body, and letting go of those thoughts and feelings that may bind and hamper us. Choosing from a vast array of yoga techniques, I highlight full realization of mind, body and soul. My energy and compassionate style of teaching allow students of all levels to grow. I encourage students to work at their level of fitness while at the same time challenging themselves mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. My classes can help you center yourself and find peace in your life while still giving you a butt-busting workout.

I am trained and certified in Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga and YogaFit.

A more peaceful approach to life

When I first started working with Karen, I couldn't touch my toes. I had herniated a disc more than a year before and not only was my body tight and stiff, but I was afraid to re-injure myself. Karen came to my house every week for three months. We started with gentle yoga and stretching. She added long walks, then weights, then lunges. Now I am back to turning cartwheels, golfing, and advanced yoga classes. The mental and spiritual components Karen guides with, along with her incredible knowledge of how the body works, along with her patience and kindness, brought me back to life. I'm in better shape now that I ever was! Thank you Karen!

I trained in Yoga with Karen Shaw for two years. It was the best thing I ever did for myself. She worked with my various limitations due to past injuries. I was amazed at what I was able to do. I lost weight and became more agile and strong. I learned excellent breathing techniques that I use everyday. Sometimes it was grueling but I always knew I would feel better and happier for it. And I did right away when we were done. I know that anyone that trains with her will be very satisfied.

Guided Meditation

“Everything begins within”

Did you know that every top athlete works out the body and the mind?

Studies have shown that those people who visualize their goals while working towards them achieve success far sooner than those who don’t.

I’ve found that my clients attain a better, more profound relaxation when they employ guided meditation. After years of experience, I’ve discovered the right way to help my clients relax, recover and stay motivated.

While generic relaxation tapes can have some positive effects, my personalized Guided Meditations target your specific needs so you reach your goals faster than you ever thought possible. You too can sleep better, have more energy, feel more mentally focused, and discover untapped motivation when you use my Guided Meditation techniques.
