Karen studied art and psychology before developing a passion for movement, she taught Yoga for over 15 years. After discovering Pilates, she fell in love with the method and continued her education by becoming comprehensively trained through Polestar Pilates in 2013. Karen has also taken countless continuing education courses, such as Pilates for MS & Neurological Conditions, the Oov, Movement Science Made Simple workshops with Cara Reeser and Jeremy Laverdure, and “The Core of the Method” with Benjamin Degenhardt to name a few. As she practices what she preaches, you may have seen Karen in a class or on BREATHE’s website and social media long before she joined our team.

In Karen’s free time, you can find her paddle boarding, biking, practicing Pilates, or walking her rescue dog Jane Doe.
