Karen Cryer

RYT500, IAYT Yoga Instructor

Welcome to my website! Thank you for taking the time to visit.

I am an independent yoga teacher with an extensive background and certifications in various disciplines. These include insight meditation, yoga therapy, functional yoga, Taoist qigong, yoga for osteoporosis, yoga for seniors, and most recently, the somatic practices of SATYA.

I am delighted to offer a Yoga for Radiant Health class, skillfully weaving together these practices that nourish the sensory systems. Join me on Zoom every Monday and Wednesday, from 9:00 am to 10:30 am Pacific time.

Discover how moving in this mindful way can enrich your life with more balance, stability, and strength, while also cultivating a quieter mind and an open heart.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me at karen@nomudnoyoga.

No Mud, No Yoga?

A Deeper Look

My class is unique.  I’ve had training & education on so many different levels and disciplines it would be difficult to say what my “style” is.  It is my own.  It is a hybrid of years of muscle therapy work with deep knowing of anatomy and how the body moves.  It is Iyengar & Hatha yoga, it is Taoist qigong, it is yoga for osteoporosis, and sensory awareness work, it is Feldenkrais, and more. 

 

My website - No Mud, No Yoga - is based off the phrase No Mud No Lotus by Thich Nhat Hanh that I love. 

 

It is written in his beautiful calligraphy behind my practice space (pictured).
