Birch Tree Yoga Studio
Vinyasa Yoga | Hatha Yoga | Mixed Ability Classes
Beautiful private studio set in woodlands - daytime & evening classes for all levels.
Tucked away on the edge of the ancient Forest of Bere, in Hundred Acres Road, near Wickham, is a very special Yoga Studio that has been flourishing since 2008 .
Set in tranquil woodland, this hidden gem was designed specifically for Yoga practice, a calm, light, clean and zen space, where you can concentrate on yourself and your wellbeing.
Karen, the owner and director of this private studio, has been teaching sport & various forms of fitness and yoga to children and adults for the last 40 years, for Karen, teaching is a vocation.
Trained originally as a PE teacher (University of Chichester ) specialising in gymnastics & dance; her natural love of movement has always been present. As many ex-gymnasts, Karen has spinal injuries and yoga has helped aid her own recovery and also given her an insight and understanding of back injuries.
The Studio opened in 2008 when Karen left her career in a local Secondary School to pursue her passion for teaching Yoga. Karen has a pragmatic approach to yoga and does not dictate ethical standards that students must follow, therefore classes are suitable whatever your personal beliefs.
Her style is dynamic, inspirational and very grounded; her teaching skills, extensive knowledge and energy shine through her teaching, motivating students in their own practice. As a testament to this, many of Karen's students have been so inspired that they have gone on to become yoga teachers too !
