It has been a little over a year now since I started my very first yoga class ever, and it was with you and your intro workshop. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you, and how you are able to bring a community of people together helping to calm my mind, allowing me to feel strong and beautiful as I am. I often feel like a superhero woman when I leave your class. Strong, energized and ready to spread the love. Thank you for your guidance, your words and your positive upbeat energy that always comes with a little humor and a smile!

I am so thankful that I found your studio and that you helped me discover how amazing yoga is. Your classes have kept me sane through these crazy college years and have been a highlight of my entire experience in Bellingham. Yoga classes with you are such a treat, the best part of the day. You are such a welcoming and inspirational person with a wonderful outlook on the world and a great sense of humor. I don't think I will be able to find such a perfect yoga teacher, so I will just have to come back and visit.

Congratulations! Your dreams and goals are coming into fruition. I remember the first day you opened the doors you said you wanted to give people a safe, serene and a life changing experience through yoga. You have made this happen with the Universe and your loyal Students. "Students" is not a great word to express the membership of joy that you spread. You are a complete success and you have changed lives seriously through Power Vinyasa yoga and your genuine spirit. I look forward to my injuries healing and can hardly wait to get back to the practice that I yearn for so badly, that without has left such a huge hole in my life spiritually, physically and especially your friendship. All my love and best wishes for your new space, I hope it will be all that you want it to be and soon once again one of my two "safe places" in this world.

I've learned so much from yoga, you and other students that my creative side seems to have reemerged. Over the two plus years I've been practicing with you I've had some wonderful, and some painful experiences none of which I would trade for the world. I hope this reflects the personal touch you've shown to me and the rest of your students. I am proud to have you as my yoga teacher, look forward to a deeper study with you and am honored to be your student.

"I love, adore and feel so good that I am practicing Power Vinyasa Yoga. Who knew that I would find something physical that makes me feel so great. Thank you Karen for opening up your heart, studio and teaching me so much. Yoga makes me smile!"

"Our private lesson with you Karen was incredible! Thank-You for entertaining all of our questions, and thoroughly explaining the fundamental postures from a physical level and expanding our interest into the spiritual aspects. Even though we have practiced yoga for several years during your lesson we discovered we have been practicing the alignment incorrectly. The changes you encouraged us to make allowed us to deepen our postures and ultimately awakened our practice to a new level. My mother and I were very moved by your passion, graciousness and sincerity."

"I am a new student and had a wonderful time yesterday! Your studio is warm, inviting and tranquil. I will be coming back soon! Thank you!"


"Sundays class was amazing! You are an incredible teacher Karen. I feel like I've come a long way since my first class, and feel so much stronger and more positive about my body since I've been practicing at your studio. My self confidence and self esteem have dramatically improved and although I've always considered myself a cheerful and friendly person my friends have even been making comments about how much happier and bright I've been the last few months. I cannot thank you enough for that! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

"I cannot even begin to thank you enough for your constant, gentle, and uplifting support. I have come to more fully realize your role and presence in my life as one of my important mentors and spiritual guides that I will have in this life. Truly and honestly, I was blessed to walk into your studio and blossom from there, with your guidance and love. You allowed me to begin my journey and path of teaching, as I learned how to teach, assist, problem solve, and spark imagination in students at your studio. your hard work and constant dedication to your teaching and students will always amaze me. You do so much and you always are giving more and more!"

"Beyond Limits Yoga is simply among the best environments I have found for personal growth and advancement anywhere in the world. The key to Beyond Limit's success is the quality of instruction and focus on moving through barriers mindfully, but surely. Karen and her excellent teaching staff are dedicated to the progress of the individual as a whole and the results are evident among the supportive and committed yogis. Another great thing about Beyond Limits Yoga is the warm and inviting studio which is so important in supporting daily practice. While one can practice anywhere (and I have) it is very helpful to come to a place that feels like home. But be ready for a challenge when you arrive -- beginners or experienced practitioners alike will find the intensity and rewards they are seeking. While the sessions are some of the most demanding I've experienced, they are also some of the most rewarding. The result is an inspiring atmosphere where people move beyond their limits in every way"
