In addition to this, she holds a Masters in School Counseling for students grades K-12. Mindfulness and breathing techniques are taught to her students regularly in the school setting.
Kara began her journey with yoga in 2001. Since then, yoga has been an integral part of her life for healing as well as maintaining physical and mental health. Private yoga lessons cultivate a unique experience for those who are seeking to maintain their yoga practice while vacationing or to simply try something new. As a well-traveled yogi, Kara understands the physical, emotional, and spiritual benefits that a regular yoga practice can provide adults and children. Kara loves Maine, yoga, traveling, kayaking, hiking, biking, spending time with family and friends, her dog (Chai) and cat (Luna), and anything involving the outdoors!
Yoga provides a connection to self and others, and Kara strives to make your connection to yourself or your loved ones unique, relaxing, informative, and fun. If you're traveling to Maine, don't forget your yoga!
