I find the teaching at Karuna is unmatched in my experience at a number of studios. Even online, the personal feedback and attention to my poses has helped my practice to evolve. I appreciate the gentle kindness along with the intense focus on form and the preparation for and progression from one posture to another.

Compassionate are those who are a part of this studio and you will find nothing less than complete acceptance, growth, and love when you enter this community. Karuna has an over-the-top stunning studio, beautiful Masonic architecture that captures the imagination. The teacher's attention to detail and dedication to the practice will improve your own yoga practice in leaps and strides. The director, Eileen Muir, possesses a remarkable level of devotion to the healing arts of yoga and Shiatsu and is always willing to help those in need. I urge you to come to this space and try a class or two. It

You can tell the teachers at Karuna absolutely love what they are doing and care about each and every student. There are a variety classes for different levels and needs, amazing workshops and guest teachers (like Rodney Yee!) all in a beautiful space! I'm always impressed with the way each class is constructed to lead you to a particular place/skill by the end, and I always feel amazing afterwards. I am so grateful to have such a wonderful place near me!

Attending classes at Karuna has been a wonderful experience. I've been a student here since January and have seen a significant change in my flexibility, breath capacity, patience, and positivity. The teachers at Karuna are inspirational and I highly recommend anyone and everyone (no matter your perceived "ability") to try out a class or a month at the studio.
