yoga teacher for trail runners

yoga has played an integral role in my personal journey, and as a trail and ultra running guide, it has played a pivot role in staying healthy - both mentally and physically. turning to yoga for a variety of reasons, I’ve come to see the huge benefit of pairing running and yoga together. I’ve personally seen the benefit of this in my own life and have naturally gravitated toward the specialization of yoga for runners.

in yoga, we practice movement in connection to our breath, need a deep level of focus and attention, build strength and practice balance, and seek progress over end results. when applying these principles to our movement on the trail, our running performance can improve greatly.

As a 500-hour RYT, Kara has taught in India, Indonesia, Costa Rica, the Caribbean and throughout North and South America. She teaches a blend of Vinyasa, Hatha, Power, and Yin, and approaches each practice with curiosity, joy, playfulness and gratitude to create a welcoming and safe space for all. Kara brings her zest for life, the natural world, and true wellness to every class for students to connect deeper to the environment, within their body and breath, and ultimately, to feel at home within themselves.
