January 2006 Karen Klenner (2nd left) enjoyed Yoga Teacher Training with the fabulous Swami Sarasvati in Kenthurst, Sydney.
Background: Karen has been practicing yoga since 1991 and has always found it to be highly beneficial towards living a healthier lifestyle. She has worked in many areas including customer service positions and libraries. In 2002 she began working for a training organisation and from there developed a love of training and public speaking. In 2004 Karen began the Yoga Teachers Diploma and has been teaching since January 2005. Karen teaches Hatha yoga and is capable of teaching the advanced class suitable for students who have practiced yoga for a while and enjoy the challenge of working with harder postures or 'asanas' to the beginners class which is for people who are trying yoga for the first time or would like to enjoy the benefits of yoga by working at a slower pace and with more instruction. Karen teaches 2 pre - natal classes a week and has become popular and well known in the Redlands area. The pre-natal classes incorporate meditation using visualization, mala beads and candle gazing, yoga massage, breath work, stretching and strengthening the body in preperation for the birth. Guest speakers are used to show students how to massage their baby, information on breast feeding and local small business speakers who offer services for new mothers. The classes have become a social gathering and excellent for expectant mothers looking for support. "Hi Karen, Isabelle born at 4.30am this morning after an easy 4 hour labour - all thanks to your yoga classes is 52cm long and weighs 8.1 has head full of dark hair blues eyes and chubby cheeks. Had no back pain in labour due to the wall stretch I've been doing" Emma The private classes offered by Liftoff yoga designed for the individuals' needs. Karen will work with the client on a weekly basis changing the program as required. She has experience with clients sufferring from chronic fatigue, fybromyalgia, depression, chronic heart disease and athritis. The classes are also suitable for couples or singles who are taking their journey with yoga more seriously and want to advance into a more spiritual and physical level. The 'Smile more stress less' workshop has been written over a period of 2 years in conjuction with co presenter Jan Patty. They have incorporated life experience, and the knowledge gained from attending several and varied workshops along with extensive reading and study on Personal Development. Karen loves the challenge of presenting the workshop to people from all walks of life.
"Coordinator (you) - great! You have a very pleasant manner, speaking voice, you relate well to people and make everyone feel worthwhile and included. I liked your humour and vitality. (The jokes were good). You are a person who doesn't come across as judgemental or cynical and that made it easy to share personal feelings and thoughts. (I say this because often I do not speak up in group situations, but I felt no pressure or hesitance to do so in your course)." Marianne. Karen enjoys teaching the Step Forward Dissabilities group who are fabulous fun and very quick learners!
