YOGA INSTRUCTOR: KAREN CONLEY

Karen has always been inspired to help people reach their full potential and face their challenges with courage and integrity. After graduating from Fordham University, she began her teaching career in the public school systems where she later went on to work with high-risk teenagers putting them through challenging situations in the rugged outdoors of Canada where they were able to reach their highest potential.


Karen infuses her joyful, high-energy classes with her belief that we can best serve others and heal ourselves through this dynamic and transforming yoga practice. Karen is a highly experienced teacher and and has led workshops and teacher training's for over 15 years around the world. 


She has devoted her life to assisting her students along their yoga journey. “Yoga for me is a practice that insists that I continue to take a closer look at how I can create change and balance in my life. I use that as a platform to inspire others to really invest in their own lives and to get passionate about themselves and all they have to offer.”

It was great weekend. Sean was very knowledgeable and yet down to earth. I will definitely be back for another training. I highly recommend Amazing Yoga.

The best experience in the most beautiful place. I highly recommend signing up for an Amazing Yoga retreat with Karen and Sean. We practiced yoga twice a day and spent the rest of the day exploring and sunbathing under the Grecian sun. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and activity.

A truly special experience. I knew I would enjoy the retreat with my incredible friend but was not prepared to have such a wonderful time with other members of the trip. Yoga was fab, excursions were excellent and company and instructors were tremendous. Thank you to all!

This was one of my favorite Amazing Yoga retreats! Because ... 1. Sean and Karen's energy is so wonderful. 2. I love their yoga classes whether they’re killing or chilling us, we’re dancing or laughing together. I feel so energized and/or relaxed after their classes. 3. I like meeting new like-minded yogis and reconnecting with old friends. 4. The excursions were absolutely perfect. Between the places, suggestions of things to do, and the intricate transportation details. I have always wanted to go to Greece and I honestly didn’t do much research ahead of time. I was pleasantly surprised at how mountainous the country is. One of my souvenirs came in a bag with a map of Greece on it. It’s shocking to see the very small area we covered in a week compared to the size of the whole country. I will definitely be going back. I truly loved the country and the people. Thank you both SO SO much!!!

I am struggling to find the words to describe what an amazing experience Teacher training through Amazing Yoga has been. The sense of community, inspiration, joy, and friendships made this training truly exceptional. Through this program, I've gained valuable insights about myself and my practice, and have developed confidence as a teacher. I now feel ready to guide others on their yoga journey.I truly believe that teacher training at Amazing Yoga is a transformative experience that will not only enhance your practice but also empower you to share the gift of yoga with others. The supportive environment, expert guidance, and personal growth opportunities make this program truly special. If you're thinking about signing up for next year, DO IT! You won't regret it!

Goddess retreat at Blue Spirit, Costa Rica was pure magic. Fresh, locally grown food at every meal. Inclusive, accessible yoga classes twice a day that were revitalizing and challenging, but not demanding. I gained 25 new friends for life! We ate, drank, surfed, shared, and I will definitely be back next year. ❤️
