Yoga & Reiki with Karen

I have been lucky to have one on one sessions with Karen many times and she has been better than any Psychologist or Psychiatrist. Karen's dedication to and knowledge of Trauma Informed Yoga has helped me immensely. If you are struggling to regulate your emotions, struggling with your body or struggling with your thoughts she will meet you where you are and together you will learn just to breathe. I cannot recommend Karen highly enough. Oh! And if like me you have terrible anxiety the zoom classes are all well worth it! You can set your space up and go from there.

Karen’s yoga sessions provide peaceful, uplifting & restorative experiences. Her gentle nature and voice make every class a joy.During lockdowns these classes bought much needed communication & support to all students via zoom.

There are a wide range of wonderful yoga teachers, and I'm blessed to know and work with many of them. Karen was my teacher of choice after a very difficult time because, in addition to her rich technical training and depth of commitment, she creates a sweet community & provides a very kind, open, & spiritual presence. Karen truly supports you as you heal within and through every layer of being. And we all need more of that! And it is also wonderful how prior to practice, she invokes respect and grace from the traditional keepers of the land and wisdom. Do something simple yet rewarding for yourself: practice with Karen Buckland.

I found Yoga with Karen via a google search and did not have many reviews to go on, which is why I am writing one. Karen is a patient, kind and understanding yoga teacher. She is very experienced and by offering various options for each yoga pose, ensures all her students are practicing yoga at a level which suits their goals. The Nidra sessions are great for relaxation and clearing the mind. I have appreciated the opportunity to choose whether to attend in person or via Zoom, and often attend via Zoom as that fits in better with my schedule. I would recommend Yoga with Karen to both beginners and experienced students.

I have been a student with Karen since 2014. I think I have only ever missed one term of yoga with Karen in all of that time.Returning to Karen’s yoga practice year after year has helped me on my journey to finding who I am. Yoga isn’t just about exercise and how you look in your yoga gear with Karen’s practice. Karen’s practice is suitable for every-body!I highly recommend Karen’s classes for every experience level of yogini. Always a welcoming environment.

Karen provides lovely and gentle yoga classes. The poses are well explained and there are plenty of options and permission to take own authority and listen to the body. Appreciate the flexibility of zoom and provided recordings (in case you miss it!)

I love Karen’s yoga class, Karen gives you lots of options, which I love. You don’t feel that you have too do it perfect every time. Karen encourages you to listen to your body and do what suits you on that particular day.

I have been going to Karen for my yoga sessions for years now and she is absolutely brilliant.I could probably listen to her calming voice talk me to sleep each night if I had the option! Every session can be catered to each individual persons needs so if you come with injuries it is an especially a great class to take!Highly recommended for all skill levelled yoginis!!!!
