After settling into the fall routine, we quickly shift to preparing for the holidays. It’s important to take time for yourself during this often-stressful time. Be Here Now Yoga will be offering a Registered Yoga Alliance Teacher Training program starting in January. Like many teacher trainings, the course will include asana, pranayama, meditation, anatomy, history of yoga and teaching methodology. Unique to their training is the emphasis on teaching the “over-50 crowd,” who are either new to yoga or returning after a long hiatus. The training will include units devoted to chair yoga, restorative yoga, and how to teach both true beginners and the ever-growing population of older yoga students.

Karen Walsh, owner of Be Here Now Yoga, is a RYT-500 and E-RYT 200. In 2016, Karen completed her Prime of Life Yoga (POLY) training. POLY has had the strongest influence in Karen’s teachings as she recognizes the challenges faced as we hit our Prime of Life. She has lived with Multiple Sclerosis for 22 years and has numerous spine issues. Instead of focusing on what her body can’t do, she celebrates what she can do and brings her love of yoga to the students she teaches.

Karen has cultivated a learning environment that focuses on finding the voice and eyes of the teacher before taking the seat of the teacher on the mat. Yoga and meditation promote health, wellness and healing. Take the time to deepen your practice in the new year.
