Karin’s Yoga

My yoga is a free flowing style which pays special attention to breath and alignment to help soften and heal the body.

I also practice a gentler form that is particularly suitable for older people, and people with restricted movement or other health problems.

I currently offer four types of class:

Gentle Yoga

This is suitable for people who want a relaxing yoga session or those with back problems. It is also ideal for post-natal and beginners who want to start softly.

Vinyasa Flow

This is for everybody who wants a more dynamic yoga class. It is suitable for beginners and more advanced students.

Dynamic Yoga

These energetic sessions are based on the principles of Ashtanga yoga and tend to be more suitable for intermediate or advanced yoga practioners.

Pregnancy Yoga

I have been teaching a popular Pregnancy class in Cambridge since 2010. The classes help women feel more comfortable and stronger during the pregnancy and they create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all.

My special pregnacy yoga classes are based on the principles of Birthlight, a charitable trust dedicated to helping women to “birth lightly”. Using yoga asanas (poses), breathing and philosophy the Birthlight form helps expecting mothers to relate more deeply with themselves and their babies as they go through the changes and challenges of pregnancy.

Yoga Classes

In person I give classes in and around Cambridge, UK. I also offer classes online. Many of these are for people who also attend my in-person classes, or for people in the area who are cannot attend in person for whatever reason, but I also give a number of online classes for people based elsewhere in the world.

Drop-In Classes

I give a number of regular Cambridge based drop-in classes throughout the year. Everyone is welcome, whatever your age or physical ability and whether you’re an absolute beginner or an advanced yogi. Come to a drop-in class and see how good yoga can make you feel.

Please see the timetable for details of current classes.

Yoga Workshops and Retreats

From time to time I offer one day workshops and yoga retreat weekends. These offer an opportunity to deepen your yoga practice in a calm and conducive environment.

These events are often combined with nature trail walks guided by Cambridge ecologist, Kevin Hand.

News of upcoming events will appear at the top of this page and full details of current and previous events can be found here.

Private Classes

I teach a number of private classes to individuals and small groups in and around Cambridge. Like my Yoga at Work programme these can be arranged either as in-person sessions, online or both.

If you are interested in private tuition or organising a small group session please contact me for more details.

Yoga at Work

I’ve developed a successful programme of Yoga at Work which is especially effective within an overall Wellness programme for staff. Like my private classes these are tailored specifically for your group and can be arranged by contacting me directly.

More infomation about this can be found below.

Yoga at Work

I’ve developed a successful programme of Yoga at Work which is especially effective within an overall Wellness programme for staff.

This workplace-centred approach is tailored to specific needs of your organisation but generally includes poses for strength and stamina, for improving posture and back health, and for soothing desk-bound aches and pains.

Local clients include The Gurdon Institute, Mott Macdonald, Cognidox, St. Mary’s School, Queens College and Cambridge University Botanic Gardens.

Please contact me if you are interested in arranging regular yoga sessions for your organisation either at your work place, online or both.

Yoga at Working from Home

Since 2019 I have also been giving my Yoga at Work programmes online. These continue to be popular in the post-lockdown era as many organisations operate with a mix people in the workplace and working from home. As well as offering all the benefits of the yoga itself these online yoga sessions are popular for providing an opportunity to connect with colleagues and co-workers outside of day to day online meetings

About

I began practising in 2000 and I’ve been teaching since 2005. I trained with BNS Iyengar in (Mysore, India), Lara Baumann (OM Station, London) and Dr. Françoise Freedman (Birthlight, London). Before I discovered yoga I taught gymnastics, dance and aerobics for many years.

Currently I am teaching in Cambridge, and I can be found giving classes at Satyam Yoga Studio as well as at local venues in Petersfield like Thrive. Please see the timetable for details of current drop-in classes or get in touch to arrange private classes. I also teach at a number of Cambridge University institutions, at local schools and at businesses in and around Cambridge.

When I am not teaching yoga I work as an artist and illustrator and I’ve produced work for a number of books, websites and mobile/tablet apps. For more information about my art and illustration work please see karineklund.com
