From Karin Nilsen

With over 16 years of studying and practicing the art and science of yoga, I have been leading group and private classes for the past nine years in Omaha. Traveling each year to study with senior teachers, my goal is to skillfully lead the student through poses and breath awareness. The ancient yogis said that the body was in the past, the mind in the future and only the breath is in the present moment. Mindfulness means being fully present and open to the present moment. It is there that the individual can begin to experience the truth of clear mind, open heart and strong, supple and relaxed body. The journey of yoga is the experience of moving away from the stress of living outside the body to an awakening within.
