Your Teacher

I have been teaching yoga since 2002, first in Winnipeg, MB, then moving to Happy Valley-Goose Bay, NL before coming to Port Alberni, BC in 2016.  I hold an internationally recognized Level II certification through the Iyengar Yoga Association of Canada.  I have studied with many senior teachers from across North America and have been fortunate to study with the Iyengar family in Pune, India in 2010, 2013 and 2015.

I am committed to my personal practice and ongoing learning as a forever student.  I enjoy motivating and encouraging my students and supporting my student's exploration of yoga.  

I would like to acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional unceded territories of the Tseshaht and the Hupacasath First Nations.  Both nations are members of the Nuu-chah-nulth Nations, which consists of 14 nations located on Western Vancouver Island.

Karin also holds a Master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy which has given her another lens into the importance of slowing down through self awareness and being in the present moment.  Yoga is a wonderful way to help with that process.
