Instructor Spotlight: Karen

🌟Karen🌟

We’re so excited to highlight Karen this month - someone who has become such a loved part of the Zen community.

Whether she’s teaching Pilates, leading our after-school kids yoga classes, or helping behind the scenes with some of the day-to-day admin at Zen, Karen brings such a warm, playful, and encouraging energy to everything she does. Her classes have a way of making people feel both supported and challenged in the best possible way, and her genuine love for movement, connection, and community shines through in every role she takes on.

Karen first discovered Pilates over a decade ago and quickly fell in love with the way it strengthened both body and mind. Since becoming certified, she has continued deepening her education through advanced comprehensive training while sharing her passion with the Zen community along the way. Her classes blend classical Pilates foundations with thoughtful cueing, creativity, and a joyful energy that keeps students coming back week after week.

With a background in elementary education, Karen also brings such a beautiful understanding of children and connection into our kids yoga program. Her classes encourage movement, mindfulness, confidence, and fun, while helping our youngest yogis feel seen, supported, and empowered.

And we’re especially excited to officially share that Karen will be leading our Greece Wellness Retreat in 2027! We truly can’t imagine a better person to help guide that experience, and we know it’s going to be something incredibly special.
