Karen Landrum/Essential Elements Yoga and Massage

I have been teaching yoga since 2001, just after receiving my 200 hour yoga teacher certification. I have a wide variety of yoga experiences and training from Kripalu Hatha Yoga, Anusara, Ashtanga, and Kundalini yoga, and incorporate these influences into my classes, emphasizing an inner awareness, along with yogic breathing and beginner asanas. I enjoy teaching and teach with a light-hearted, joyful approach offering ample warm-ups and alignment principles for a safe yoga practice; detailed instructions through a variety of yoga postures balanced with pranayama (yogic breathing) to improve energy stamina, joint mobility, and muscle tone. In 2014, I lived out my personal “Eat, Pray, Love” journey. I went to Costa Rica for 4 months where I attended the Costa Rica School of Massage Therapy. I went on to Thailand for 3 months where I completed a 300 hour Thai Massage Teacher Training. I then journeyed to North India where I spent 2 months obtaining an additional 300 hour yoga teacher certification at Rishikesh Yog Peeth. In 2017, I returned to Rishikesh, India where I completed a meditation teacher training at World Peace Yoga School. In 2018, I opened my studio, Essential Elements Yoga & Massage, LLC, located in Ft. Thomas, KY, just minutes south of Cincinnati, Ohio.
