Benefits of Family Yoga
The recent development of family yoga has provided a special way to create connection, shared activities and treasured memories for families. We can clearly see the benefits and why family yoga continues to gain increasing popularity as stress levels rise, family time lessens and quality time becomes precious.
What children love the most about family yoga is to have their parent or parents beside them to share the experience. Family Yoga creates a moment in time to connect to the playful inner child that resides in our children and is always present throughout our lives. Laughter, movement, bonding, connection and play nourish the entire family and remind us of what is truly important in our lives!

"Karen's teaching is the perfect balance between professionalism and fun. The course is very thorough and the practical and written tools she provides are excellent. You leave the sessions with all the skills and confidence to start teaching yoga to children and families immediately. On a personal level, Karen's enthusiasm, energy and beautiful heart really did allow me to see the best, not only in myself, but everyone else around me. Karen, I can't thank you enough. Namaste."
