Hillside Yoga is only 6 miles from downtown Bethel, with beautiful mountain views. The atmosphere promotes an experience of rest and rejuvenation, before you've even begun class!   The combined effects of natural beauty, peace and quiet,  and the countless benefits of yoga often elicit comments that students feel as though they've had a mini-retreat.

 

Karen is certified in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy, and Thai-Shiatsu Bodywork.  She has been a student of yoga for over 20 years and a teacher for over 12.  Her teaching draws from many sources - the perspectives of Iyengar, Kripalu and Kundalini yoga, as well as Authentic Movement, Feldenkrais and Sacred Bellydance.  Karen believes in the individual's innate ability to heal and find balance, and she enjoys supporting your discovery of that.
