    A Must for Yoga Teachers!
    If you are a yoga teacher, you’ll want to follow and put this podcast in your regular circulation for listening. Karen knows yoga from a physical, philosophical, teaching skills, and business perspective. Her conversations flow naturally and you’ll always leave with a golden nugget to apply to your teaching! -Ann Swanson, MS in Yoga Therapy

    Great Resource For Yoga Teachers
    I was fortunate to have Karen on my podcast and guest on hers as well. She has a wealth of insight on sequencing, anatomy, building confidence and everything else that goes into teaching yoga. Her podcast is a great resource I recommend to any yoga teacher who want to improve their skills, avoid common mistakes and build a career doing work you love that has a hugely positive impact on others, like Karen has. - Jeremy Devens, E-RYT - Host of the Yoga Teacher Training Podcast
  • SeaLJski
    Great insight
    I love listening to Karen’s podcasts. She’s knowledgeable, experienced, and is passionate about yoga and that comes through. I always find a nugget or two in each podcast!
  • Christafairbrotheryoga
    A great resource
    It's wonderful to have resources catering to yoga professionals. I appreciate being able to learn and hear amazing new persperctives from other yoga teachers in an informal way.
  • moveslikemama
    So relatable…
    Karen is a joy to listen to and really has a talent for making these podcasts seem like a conversation. I always come away with something whether it be a tidbit of information or a new point of view. Karen, thank you for everything. I’ve learned so much!
  • Saltwell2008
    Great podcast
    I enjoy listening would recommend
  • C*P*R
    Karen is the best!
    I’m so glad I found Karen. She is a super knowledgeable yoga teacher and a great communicator! I’ve learned so much from her through this podcast and her other platforms! Karen’s knowledge of anatomy and her ability to share this knowledge with others is a gift.
  • Yogalastics
    Thank You for sharing your wisdom!
    I am a new yoga teacher and so happy to have this resource! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, experience and wisdom! I’m so happy I found you! 5 stars - highly recommend.
  • asjer27
    Hmmmm
    I wish less time was spent on advertising her programs. I listen to tons of podcasts and have never experienced so much self promotion.
  • El Phantsmo
    Fantastic Resource
    Karen is a wealth of knowledge. Have been listening to her since I was in YTT, and now in the relatively early stages of being a teacher. The information provided in her podcasts has been invaluable.... she delivers the experience gained over her years of teaching in a no nonsense, intelligent manner. Highly recommended for teacher/practitioners and solely practitioners alike. 🙏🏻❤️
  • Goks74
    Listen and learn
    What a wonderful resource for yoga teachers. I started right at podcast #1 and I am slowly making my way through all the conversations. This is a good way to keep learning.
  • bujuvvlb ivgokbujitgug
    A must-listen for teachers
    YTT never ends if you subscribe to this informative podcast! I learn so much important anatomy and cue tips and am so very thankful.

    Finding your way as a teacher

    Standing Poses Cues Breakdown
    I love Karen’s insightfulness and how she stays on target with her topics. She shares her experiences and gives you suggestions of what has worked for her as a teacher. I look forward to future podcasts with Karen.
  • morelifeplantbased
    Excellent
    I am currently in my early hours of teacher training - 23 out of 200. Listening to Karen’s podcasts have been so inspiring and I’ve learned so much from her . I feel lucky to be able to learn off her 14 + years and lesson some of those fears about teaching that I’ve thought of and she has experienced. I plan on listening to them again and again as my journey continues and some of the other content starts to make sense in my learning process . I highly recommend this for a newbie and I can’t imagine that this couldn’t help someone who has been teaching for quite a while . Thanks Karen - keep up the good work in your podcast garage :))
  • Boston red sox 2004
    Great teacher resource!
    Insight into what undermines confidence, in life and in the pursuit of yoga teaching. Tips for finding ones own voice and dealing with self doubt. Karen adds her own experiences which make it all more real and relatable. Looking forward to hearing more!
