Karen Armstrong is a cancer "thriver" ("thrivers" a term I coined many years ago as I found the term "survivor's" to be laden with desperate and negative connotations), Yoga Teacher/lecturer, guest speaker, consultant, writer/author, baker and volunteer master gardener.
The only thing stopping anyone is one’s self.
In teaching and in life, it's not about what we can't do or give but in what we can do and share and how...and that no matter who you are - one teacher is not enough. We will learn something new from every person that crosses our path and if we listen we will know that our quest for knowledge should never stop because the information will never cease.
Yoga opens you up to all the possibilities that you hold within, it brings you further, helping you to put one foot in front of the other joyously.
I teach and guide one on one and in groups. The yoga I teach is gentle, strengthening and restorative and I gear it for anyone, all ages, and ability. I simply say, "yoga, walking, knowing you can help yourself - you are not a victim or prisoner in your body or mind - you are the jail keeper and hold the keys with what you do and what you feed your mind and body".
I dedicate my life to others with a sincere desire to help, encourage and motivate others to find their strength; teach them and show them that getting well, getting stronger is in their hands with how they actively participate in their well-being and how they think and view things. To share the gifts that yoga gives - the gift of strength, flexibility, mobility; exhilaration & rejuvenation to the spirit and the body. The numerous health and wellness benefits that accompany the practice of yoga are additional benefits - relieving stress, pain, depression and sleep disturbances as an example.
To teach others that they do not have to live uncomfortably in their bodies. That they have the power within themselves to make not only a good but a noticeable difference in how they feel mentally and physically.
