  UbU Yoga & Fitness provided an excellent, well-rounded, and life changing RYT experience. Karen is a gifted yogi and instructor - it was an honor to learn from her and I feel prepared to lead knowledgeable and epic yoga classes right away after completing the 200hr program!

  Karen is not only an amazing woman but truly a yoga missionary. She embodies everything yoga is, determined to empower while educating everyone in her path. Her aura extends miles around her, her energy is vibrant and compassionate. The wisest soul I know, created a yoga school that captures exactly this essence. Every detail of the 200hr education was very thoughtful and authentic. Placing a huge emphasis on individuality was something I had been looking for in a training. UbU is open minded, making this possible for my creative soul to find new levels and ways of thinking while weaving in traditional yoga history. Leaving this program I am not only confident in my ability to lead a class, but confident in my everyday life. This training expanded my mind in so many beautiful ways. I now walk around with so much more yoga knowledge, a heightened awareness to my physical body, and an empowered soul. Karen/UbU Yoga & Fitness has been a catalyst in my growth as a human, a yoga practitioner, now teacher. I will continue speaking highly of Karen and her school, encouraging anyone that wants to further their practice with her to 100% do it. Namaste.

  Yoga Teacher Training with Karen at UbU Yoga & Fitness has been a wonderful experience and so beneficial. This experience far exceeded my expectations with a wealth of information and knowledge gained. Karen has an impeccable teaching style that is the perfect mixture of knowledge, fused with some humor, and she gives space to allow for self-discovery. She has been a wonderful mentor and friend during my yoga journey.

  I highly recommend UbU Yoga & Fitness. Karen is kind and extremely knowledgeable. I love how she taught me to lead a class directly and confidently. I feel well-prepared to teach with tons of cues engrained in me and an understanding of the key muscles of yoga. You'll come away with yoga history knowledge to share in class, along with vayus and chakras. She gets a 10 out of 10 from this happy yogi!

  The training at UBU Yoga & Fitness was everything I had hoped it to be and more. Karen has such a beautiful energy around her and she makes it a priority to guide you in finding your most authentic version of yourself and encourages you to let that shine through throughout your yoga journey. I received so much more than a YTT 200 in Karen's course. I received encouragement, knowledge on proper yoga history, materials needed to succeed as an intelligent, inspiring yoga teacher and in my own practice, constructive criticism that I am so thankful for, and most importantly; a lifelong guide now that I am part of the UBU Yoga Tribe. This school goes deeper than the surface level of what you may think yoga is. You will become knowledgable and hungry to learn more after completing any kind of training with Karen. Thanks to Karen and her training I no longer feel intimidated by following my calling to teach yoga. I am so thankful to have crossed Karen's path and I know that is exactly how all of her students feel.

  The training at UbU Yoga & Fitness exceeded my expectations. Karen provides a wealth of knowledge from her vast experiences with her own yoga journey. The practical coaching to teach yoga is catered to meet a student's individual interests and needs while still providing exposure to a wide variety of yoga practices. Karen weaves this in seamlessly with teaching the historic and global context of yoga. I truly believe I've grown in mind, body and spirit through this RYT journey thanks to this wonderful school. I've already recommended this training to friends and will continue to do so. I can't wait to get back here for future professional development! Jai Karen!

  UbU is a program design to advance your teaching, as it makes sense to you. The entire experience was individualized to create the greatest expansion for the teacher. The instruction and learning was created from the innate curiosity of the teacher. I was able to walk away with something tangible that I can apply for my vision and goals in the yoga world. I am certain I would not have had the same experience anywhere else. Highly recommend this program and guide Karen Turner.
