"I was fortunate enough to experience the yoga sessions conducted by Karen. Being a fitness enthusiast, I was always working out to the maximum potential but always ended up sidelining the benefits of yoga until my body started becoming stiff and my posture needed correction. Karen's friendly attitude and professionalism made me a regular student at her sessions. Initially I was unable to the Asanas perfectly as my mobility and flexibility was affected due to weight lifting. However Karen was persistent and motivating and helped me the right way to attain mental and physical peace. I would highly recommend everyone to take at least one session and see whats in store for your well-being. Looking forward to many more sessions Karen, Thank You! "

"Karen's corporate class in HK on yoga breathing techniques was an eye-opener for me. Karen took the time to understand our requirements pertaining to stress management etc and customised her session for us. During the session, I felt comfortable and relaxed while performing the breathing exercises, despite being new to yoga, due to Karen's calm and encouraging style of training. Thanks."

"Karen is very clear in explaining and instructing all the yoga exercises. We had only 10 days of sessions in our company but we learnt quite a lot number of yoga exercises from her and how to do it correctly. "

"Our company recently arranged a 10-day yoga course, and I was fortunate to have Karen as the instructor. Earlier I had attended a couple of yoga sessions by other instructors near my home. They gave no indication of why I was doing a certain asana and ran through them, like more of an exercise. Karen was a stark contrast. She patiently explained everything, not only the how but also the why, the do's and don'ts and was keen on building a good foundation. Her style of teaching is relaxed and comfortable. She is passionate about yoga and strives to share it in its authentic form, readily answering any questions that may arise. She is punctual, knowledgeable, professional and fun at the same time. She conducts well planned sessions with the target audience in mind. I would certainly recommend Karen as a yoga instructor. "

"Karen was invited by the Nirmala Niketan Senior Citizens Alumni Association Goregaon East as resource person for Yoga Day celebrated on 11th July 2019. The topic was Asanas and Pranayam for the mental and physical well being of Senior Citizens. Karen began with an introduction of YOGA in simple and practical talk. Then with the help of her associate Aarti, she directed Aarti to perform various Asanas Sitting, Standing, lying down postures which the Nirmala Niketan Senior Citizens also participated. There was Pranayam, The participants were benefited by the Session. We thank Karen for taking time and organizing Yoga Session very smoothly. "

"Karen was a colleague at office and I don't know how the topic started in our casual conversation about Yoga.Karen was undergoing her Yoga training at the Yoga institute and everytime we happen to speak she used to passionately talk about her learnings and discussed her vision to teach Yoga. Once her course was completed, we requested her to conduct sessions for us at office. And once we spread the word about the sessions many showed interest and we started our sessions in a conference room after work 2 days a week. I clearly remember my experience after 1st session.Karen had setup a 1 hour session which was a well balanced mix of asanas and pranayam. Asanas focused on various muscle groups in body and stretching and pranayam had a very calming effect on mind. Thereafter I enjoyed every session I attended.She is punctual and designs each session well to cover various asanas and pranayam. She used to demonstrate every asana and its effects on body. Also taught us variations of different asanas if certain variation is difficult for you, then you can choose a suitable one. She talks in a soothing yet pleasant way which itself sets a very calming ambience for the session.doesnt hesitate to point out mistakes and explains the dos and don'ts about the techniques which shows she has a strong knowledge base about the subject. I recommend Karen's sessions and it will definitely help people to achieve health ,fitness of mind ,body and soul. Best wishes to Karen on this journey. "

Maintaining a correct posture and a healthy spine are of utmost importance to the corporate target audience given the desk culture. Hence standing and sitting (on a chair) asanas which focus on the all-round movement of the spine ( upward, lateral, torsion ) can be done, even wearing formals.
Movement of the joints ( especially shoulder, knee and ankle joints ) can be included along with the asanas, as these joints are also least used and hence tend to get stiff due to lack of mobility in them.
