Karina has over 15 years of experience as a yoga practitioner and is certified as both a Physical Therapist Assistant and a Personal Trainer. She uses her diverse training to offer a holistic approach to health and ensures each client receives personalized care and support.

Yoga has been a cornerstone of Karina's life since she discovered its benefits while travelling through South America and Europe after high school. It ignited a passion that led her to New York, where she earned her yoga certification in 2009. 

Driven by her commitment to continuous learning, Karina pursued specialized training in Prenatal Yoga at the Seattle Holistic Center and Doula training at Big Belly Birth Services in Bend, Oregon. In 2013, she returned to her hometown in Kalispell, MT, eager to share her extensive knowledge and dedication with her community.

Karina’s dedication to helping people understand their body mechanics and alignment led her to become a Physical Therapist Assistant in 2017 and a Personal Trainer in 2019. She integrates her Physical Therapy skills into her yoga practice, providing guidance for optimal alignment to create ease and space in the joints and muscles. Karina tailors her approach to each student's injuries, limitations, and movement patterns, ensuring personalized and effective support.

Most recently, Karina obtained her LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist) license and opened her private practice in Kalispell, MT, in June 2024.
