Teacher Bio:

​

My name is Karmen Sizemore and I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years. I did my yoga teacher training with Susanna Barkataki at Embrace Yoga's Roots in 2022. I practice a form of Hatha yoga as it has been passed down from it's East Asian roots, which can look very different from the Western version of yoga many people are familiar with. My goal when teaching yoga is to be a guide for others on the journey to unite the body, mind and soul.

Yoga is coming to the library! Free and open to all, we welcome everyBODY regardless of age, race, gender, or ability.

Classes may include guided movement, mantra, mudra, meditation, breath work and more.

​

Join us 2 Saturdays a month from April-August at the Wilson or Mitchell library from 10-11:30 for a time of community building practice. Feel free to bring a yoga mat and block if you have one, we will have a few available to borrow if you don't have your own. Come dressed in something comfortable that you can move in and with an open heart and mind.

Teacher Bio:

​

My name is Karmen Sizemore and I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years. I did my yoga teacher training with Susanna Barkataki at Embrace Yoga's Roots in 2022. I practice a form of Hatha yoga as it has been passed down from it's East Asian roots, which can look very different from the Western version of yoga many people are familiar with. My goal when teaching yoga is to be a guide for others on the journey to unite the body, mind and soul.
