Hello, my name is Karen Whitfield. I have been practicing Yoga for around 20 years and completed my teaching qualification in 2016 with Paul Harvey at the Centre for Yoga Studies in 2016. I have also recently completed a BWY accredited training course in teaching Yoga to Children and Teens and am excited to set up some new classes!

 

I am passionate about the art of Yoga as a personal journey: developing practices and routines according to individual goals and needs. Practices that evolve intelligently, adapt to change and provide you with tools to support your own wellbeing.

 

The Yoga that I both practice and teach was developed by Sri Krishnamacharya, considered the father of modern Yoga, and passed down to me by Paul Harvey based on his many years of study with Krishnamacharya's son TKV Desikachar. I specialise in individual lessons and try to carry that same process into group classes.

​

I am a Mum to two young boys, currently living and working in Exeter. I know first hand how impossible it can seem to make time for yourself in this busy world and how important personalised and holistic support can be. Taking a few minutes each day to create a space for your own needs amidst the chaos and bustle of life is no easy feat and as such is worth fighting for!

​

Likewise I see how important it is to provide children and young people with spaces where they can feel safe and present, to connect with their bodies, their breath and their minds.

​

I am also trained to hold Mother's circles as a Rewilding Motherhood Facilitator which you can also book online here.
