"Thank you Karyn for reintroducing me to the art of yoga. I had taken several classes elsewhere but never returned and that immediately changed after experiencing one class with Karyn. Karyn’s gentle, energetic, and encouraging approach to teaching allowed me to start the process of accepting, embracing and loving my body as a whole. Regardless of ability and age, Karyn is able to make her practice accessible for all. Once again thank you Karyn for rekindling my love for yoga and helping me build the confidence within myself."

"About 8 years ago I came across a sign for yoga and decided to call and give it a try. Best decision I ever made! I love how I feel after yoga and look forward to it every week. I love all the wonderful people I have met at class and the friendships that have ensued. I couldn't ask for a better yogi then Karyn! She is welcoming easy going and I am proud to call a friend. I wanted to throw it out to all of you and strongly encourage you to come out and try it!"
S.Taylor
"I’ve taken yoga classes for many years when Karyn taught in London. She offered many kinds of yoga and I tried them all and was more than happy with every style she offered. I’m still missing her classes when she moved to B.C.. Karyn was so thorough and explained each pose carefully. Believe me I would be thrilled if she was offering classes here again. If you are considering taking classes from Karyn all I would say, don’t hesitate."
G. Wagner
“I look forward to Karyn’s classes all week! Her classes are so welcoming for beginners like myself. Even without prior knowledge of yoga or chanting, I never feel lost in class, just pure relaxation. Worth the drive to New West. Thank you Karyn, can’t wait to see you next week"

“I never understood how much of a positive difference yoga could make in my physical and mental health until I started taking classes at Harmony Yoga. The breathing techniques I learn in my weekly class have helped me through stressful situations in my daily life immensely. I recommend Harmony to anyone looking for a genuine, warm yoga experience. -Sanghyuk, Burnaby”
