Karen is an excellent teacher of Iyengar Yoga. I had been practicing Vynyassa Yoga for a year before going to one of Karen’s classes.
All of Karen’s classes start off with quiet sitting down and relaxing. They always finish with relaxation as well. If you can’t manage a pose then Karen will help by using different props (chairs, tables, walls or blocks to sit upon). Nothing was too much trouble for Karen and she made the classes fun and always laughed with us. Karen was always looking for improvements and was very encouraging. Congratulating us on all our improvements and got the best out of us.
She used to remember what stage everyone had got to and how flexible everyone was. If we were having trouble with a pose Karen would help us out t achieve the pose. We had different classes for different body parts e.g. chest, hips, legs, arms and also runners Yoga.
Karen worked us hard without us knowing about how hard we worked. The pace of the class was slow but the work we got through was incredible and taught me how to relax whilst exercising. I still do practice Yoga but miss Karen and her excellent classes.
Thank you Karen
Lovely small class with a great, informative teacher. The class is perfect for beginners and this form of yoga is really accessible regardless of ability. Very reasonably priced.
I cannot recommend Karen highly enough. Her Thursday evening Iyengar Yoga classes are the highlight of my week. Karen is a confident, knowledgeable and personable teacher who makes you feel comfortable whilst challenging you to push yourself further.
