Yoga is timeless to me. As i've grown and changed, yoga has stayed steady, keeping me grounded, peaceful and open. Whether i'm teaching or practicing, yoga brings me home. My yoga journey began in 2005 after a debilitating jaw-stress injury left me unable to move my body aerobically. My first yoga class gave me a sense of freedom, movement with breath and deep inner steadiness that I felt I had to share.

I completed my teacher training in Portland and for 20 years have been immersed in practicing, teaching and continually discovering. In 2021, my husband, Garrett and I moved to Sisters, bringing my love of yoga, community and the outdoors with me. When I teach, I focus on helping students meet themselves exactly where they are and to be curious about how the ego shows up on the mat, tuning inward and leaving the ego outside the door. My classes are lighthearted, grounding, and free of judgment.

My sequencing offers a steady, mindful challenge, never harsh or inaccessible, but encouraging growth, flow and emotional connection, helping create a rhythm in the studio that deepens the experience.

Kara is a registered nurse, massage therapist, reiki practitioner, and yoga instructor.

Kara has a personal commitment to an arms-wide-open approach and a goal to make yoga accessible to all. Her teaching style is clear, intentional, and supportive of each individual in class.

Yoga has been a guiding force in Kara’s life. By junior high, Kara was already diving deep into the world of yoga, meditation, and alternative health. Her teaching is a reflection of her own journey, offering a space for exploration and self-discovery. Deeply appreciative of the beautiful energy here in Sisters, Kara is grateful to be part of this vibrant community and is honored to show up in service to others, walking this path of holistic health.

I love Central Oregon. Getting to live and work in Sisters and Bend has been such a gift. We have a close-knit community, incredible people, and endless access to the outdoors—what more could you ask for? Music has always been part of my life. I began playing drums in high school, gigged around Southern California in my early adulthood, and eventually discovered how powerful sound can be when used therapeutically and paired with manual therapy. I love using Sound & Rolfing® Structural Integration to support relaxation, awareness, and deeper connection in the body.
