About the Instructor:
Karen Olivia Kiely, a 300-hour trained yoga teacher from Cork, leads the class. Since relocating to San Francisco in 2011, Karen embarked on her yoga teaching journey, completing her initial training in 2019 and furthering her education both in California and Ireland. She also conducts summer yoga retreats in Ireland and offers classes both in San Francisco and online.
Karen’s classes are known for their inclusivity, welcoming individuals of all bodies, genders, and ages. She integrates Celtic wisdom, astrological insights, and a touch of Irish language (cúpla focail) into her teachings. Her philosophy is centered around the idea that yoga is not about perfection but about kindness to oneself. Karen is excited to bring this approach to the UICC community through her weekly sessions.
Join us at the UICC for a serene yoga experience that nurtures the body, mind, and spirit in a supportive and inclusive environment.
