I have been attending Karens' classes on Zoom, and I am so grateful to her and the classes she teaches each week. They have been my saving grace and made a huge difference to my body during my recovery from trauma related difficulties. My body has been under huge stress and 6 months ago I could hardly move and was in so much pain. My body is now getting stronger and is coping better with triggers and is more flexible, I have lost weight, and it is definitely beginning to balance out. I feel so much stonger more grounded and centred. After Karen's class I always feel better. I have days when I am in pain and drained and do not feel like doing it, but when I do the class it always helps and I feel much calmer. The last few months of attending Karen's classes and doing Ashtanga Yoga have been a huge part of my healing journey and recovery. I definitely would not be getting stronger if it wasn't for Karen's direction and dedication to her classes and practice. I let her know what was going on and she was very supportive. So a massive thank you to Karen, I am so grateful to her perseverance with Zoom and moving to online sessions. Yoga is recommended for support in recovery from PTSD and I absolutely agree, especially Ashtanga with Karen because she makes it inviting and comfortable to do. xxx

Can’t recommend Ashtanga Yoga with Karen highly enough. I’ve been going once a week for 10 months now, starting from a pretty low base line, as a 64 year old man having had major abdominal surgery, resulting in a colostomy and a stoma. Ashtanga Yoga with Karen has changed my life. No exaggeration. She has given me the confidence in my body as it is now, to embrace yoga. There’s no feeling of being judged, there’s no sense of competition, everyone is given the same attention and encouragement. Karen allows us to practice within our own limits, and encourages us as we grow and improve. I started Yoga to help me learn how to relax and unwind. Ashtanga teaches me how to do so by repetition of the positions and concentration on breathing, with Karen’s voice giving instruction and encouragement throughout. So, actual results? Without any additional exercise or any dieting, 2” off my waist, improved posture, improved muscle tone, improved appetite, much better sleeping, and the ability to control what Karen calls “the monkey mind” I’m a convert, Karen’s classes have made me so, it’s down to her that it’s her voice that I hear in my head if I practice sun salutations at home !! Try it, you won’t regret it.

I've been coming to Karen's class for 3 months now and it's been an amazing experience so far, even if I had never thought of yoga as something that could feel so good as part of my weekly routine! It was also the 1st time in my life that I practiced yoga, but even if it felt a bit overwhelmingly fast at the beginning, Karen's sessions allow you to find your own pace; she always insists in finding our own balance between effort and ease and start working from there. This approach is helping me a lot to get some self-confidence and to actually enjoy what I'm doing, instead of just taking it as something I "have to do" in order to stay healthy. If you give it a go, you will probably feel results very soon =) Looking forward to come back after the Christmas break!

I love doing Ashtanga Yoga with Karen. She is lovely, the lessons are adapted for all levels, you feel comfortable since the first time despite the awkward positions and it is motivating. Ashtanga with Karen is a pleasure, it is dynamic and relaxing at the same time. I had benefits on my flexibility and strength. I’m suggesting Ashtanga Yoga to all my friends and I definitely recommend it.

I had some private lessons with Karen over the last few weeks. Although I've been practicing yoga for around 10 years, these sessions brought to light how much I've neglected certain aspects of the premise on which Ashtang yoga was built. I've been shown how to breathe properly through my flows in a way that optimises the benefits of the pose/stretch. Karen has also helped me improve my posture and taught me how the gaze when in a stretch or posture has such an impact on our ability to perform that part of the flow. She's been an absolute game changer, I'm just so grateful! And I've learned and laughed at the same time. So very highly recommended!

Karen is an excellent teacher who makes challenging ashtanga postures accessible to all. She places a lot of emphasis on Bandha and helps her students locate and use this. I learn something every time I go and feel inspired to try new things. I can’t recommend her or her classes highly enough. She’s definitely one of the best teachers I’ve ever come across!

Karen is an exceptionally great teacher, personally I find her the best in Plymouth and recommend her to all my clients and friends. She is consistent with the care and energy she brings to all her classes and makes all levels from beginner to advanced very welcome! I highly recommend her.

I have been coming now for few years now. On and off, depending on work. Loving the routine. Really getting more flexible now. Arms getting stronger. As Karen always says, just get rid of your chairs and practice the postures whilst watching TV etc... The class always helps me to relax and forget about work. Karen also does classes outside in the summer which is great! She also organises retreats. Have a look on FB. Highly recommended!

I love Karen's classes. She is a very experienced instructor and will adjust your position if you need it. She runs lots of classes and some outside in summer months.
