Karuna
has dedicated her life to the study and
practice of Yoga in it’s varied forms
since 1994.
She began to study with Sri Krishna Pattabhi
Jois (Guruji) in 2000. After meeting Guruji,
she went to San Francisco to do a month-long
teacher training in Ashtanga Vinyasa Flow.
Later this year, she opened a small Yoga
studio in Bend, Oregon. While she managed
and taught classes in this community, she
had the opportunity to study with many amazing
instructors, taking numerous workshops and
teacher trainings, not only in Yoga asana,
but also had the opportunity to learn Pranayama,
Meditation, Traditional Thai Massage and
Reiki. After managing the studio for three
years, Karuna went to India for 6 months
to further her understanding and experience
of this practice. In India, as well as practicing
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga with Guruji, she began
studies of some of the ancient texts, chanting
and Sanskrit as well as experiencing true
surrender while living in an Ashram on the
banks of the great Ganga River in North
India.
Karuna is grateful life has led her to Santa
Fe to continue learning Vedic chanting,
Vedanta, Sanskrit and the ancient Yogic
texts.
"This community nourishes my soul and
I feel truly blessed to be a part of it.
My wish is to see it grow and help spread
joy and the knowledge of Yoga to as many
spirits as I can".
