Classes with Karen
The main intention of Karen's classes is to be safe, accessible and comfortable. While not every class is suitable for every body, there are classes to suit most bodies.
Her classes are both deeply serious and transformational with a touch of light heartedness.
Karen's teaching style encourages the individual to find their way to practice a posture. Her study of Yoga Therapy has given her a huge toolbox of modifications that she can suggest you use to make your yoga practice more individual. She encourages you to find your best self.
Whether you have a painful lower back, troublesome knees, tight shoulders etc, Karen can give you options to modify so that you can still access the benefits of yoga. If getting down on the floor is a struggle, there is a class that works mostly in a chair.
Karen's classes include a varied mix of ages and abilities where no-one feels judged or awkward. They have a real communal feel.
If you are looking to deepen your practice, Karen offers one on ones, short retreats and workshops. Each term Karen likes to focus on a different facet of yoga, either physical or philosophical, so that her students practice becomes more holistic.
About Karen:
Karen Lenehan has been teaching yoga in Wagga Wagga since 2009, after she completed her 500hr Yoga Teacher Training. During this time she has taught general classes and Beginner Courses at Divine Wellbeing and The Simp-Lee Yoga Centre in Wagga Wagga offering a mix of Hatha, Vinyasa and more recently Yin. She also has small intimate classes at her home yoga room and works privately as a qualified Yoga Therapist.
Karen’s area of experience and interest is with people who feel they don't fit in to a regular yoga class. She is also especially concerned about women over the age of 40 who have been injured and/or are overburdened and feeling the effects of age.
Karen started practicing yoga at the age of 46yrs. She enjoyed it from the start and realised she had found something for herself that she hadn't realised she was looking for. At the beginning it was the yoga philosophy that interested her the most, it was only later that she began to understand the power of the Asana practice.
Karen is very keen to run classes that are safe and inclusive. She continues her studies in Yoga for (dis)abilities, Yoga for Pelvic Health and Yoga for Back Pain. She believes that there is a practice for everyone regardless of age, gender, ability, size and profession. She has successfully worked with and provided an appropriate practice for people who have lost motor skills as well as professional athletes.
