” After years of teaching yoga in dusty , draughty halls & noisy gyms, it was my ambition to provide a beautiful purpose built studio dedicated to teaching yoga in this area !”     K.P.

This ambition was fulfilled in 2008 when Karen left her job as a PE teacher in a large comprehensive school and opened Birch Tree Yoga Studio . Now, over 12 years later ,the Studio is still going strong despite many more Studios popping up in the area. It offers 9 classes a week, Saturday workshops and CPD training days for other yoga teachers. Maximum class size  (Pre COVID) was 12, comfortably- not squashed in, which is still small enough to allow for personal attention , but also large enough to create great group energy.*

Karen teaches this ancient Eastern discipline with a modern Western approach & a lively sense of humour,  her style is a fusion of Hatha / Vinyasa flow yoga.Karen’s background knowledge of many other disciplines compliments the teaching and her passion shines through .

*Until the Studio can re-open, Karen offers Online classes via a Facebook group £10 per calendar month. The Studio will commence "in person "classes, in the garden & studio whenever it is permitted.
