Originally from Huntington Beach California - Karess has been a devoted practitioner in Yoga based sciences for the last 10 years. Her first inspiration or initial introduction to Yoga was through a series of health complications in her youth - that brought her to the Ancient Arts and principles she teaches today.
Through various principles In Yoga she was able to heal what she was told by Doctors, “could never be healed.”
This left her inspired and humbled by the power of the mind and body and decided to devote her life to being in service and giving back to a lost wisdom that indeed was the people's birthright to know and understand this Ancient Science.
“Yoga is not a religion or an ideology - it is a Science! When properly understood and applied to our life - anything is possible.”
