Karen O'Donnell

I discovered yoga after the birth of my first child, when my body and spirit were yearning for deep rest, renewal, and connection. What began as a practice of recovery soon became a way of life. Years later, I completed my 200 HR YTT certification with Jessica and Al Noche of Kramas Yoga, inspired to share the gifts yoga had given me.

In my classes, I aim to create an inclusive space where students feel both grounded and uplifted — a place to explore strength, softness, and stillness. My teaching emphasizes mindful movement, breath awareness, and the importance of community, so each practice becomes not just a workout, but a journey inward and a chance to connect outward.

Above all, I hope to help others find what I found through yoga: rest, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
