Samatva Yoga has been developed by Karen Prior, over the last 12 years. The focus is on creating balance (samatva) of the body, mind and spirit. Samatva Yoga utilizes classic hatha yoga asana and unique posture sequences and flows. Emphasis is placed on safe exercise techniques, building body awareness, use of breath to support the postures and creating balance within.
Samatva Yoga is a registered yoga school with the Yoga Alliance. Graduates who have completed Levels One and Two may register with the Yoga Alliance at the 200-Hour level. We also offer continuing education to our graduates and the opportunity to qualify for 500-hour registration with the Yoga Alliance.
