Hello Everyone!
We love sharing transformation stories from our community and this week, we are sharing Karen’s Journey:)
Meet Karen Vernal, a vibrant 75-year-old from Milwaukee and an inspiring member of our MyYogaTeacher community.
Karen wasn’t dealing with a major injury or illness — but she knew that staying strong, balanced, and flexible was essential as she aged. She was looking for a local class when she stumbled upon MyYogaTeacher online. Curious, she gave it a try — and that small decision sparked a big transformation.
Karen’s Transformation:
• Pre-Yoga: Limited flexibility, difficulty getting up and down from the floor, poor balance, and daily movements (like reaching behind the car seat) becoming harder.
• The Solution: Personalized 1-on-1 yoga sessions with her teacher, @tch-priya-3 — focused on gradually improving mobility, strength, and balance at Karen’s pace.
• The Results: Today, Karen can touch her toes, sit cross-legged, balance confidently on one foot, and move more freely than she has in years. She even managed her luggage solo during a 3-week Europe trip — walking 6–7 miles a day with ease!
Karen credits her progress to consistent practice and the thoughtful guidance of her teacher.
“Working with Priya has been one of the best decisions I’ve made this year,” she says. “I feel stronger, more capable, and confident in my body again.”
Karen’s story is a beautiful reminder that it’s never too late to invest in your health. With the right coach and the right support, small steps can lead to powerful change.
