A little about me!
Hi!! I’m Koren,
I grew up in a teeny tiny town outside of Pittsburgh, PA and since then have lived in many states through the years and currently reside in a tiny house in rural Texas. I hope to be able to add even more places to the list as time goes on!!
I am a LYT yoga and fitness instructor, somatic facilitator, entrepreneur, sister, daughter, friend, advocate, and dog mom to 3 of the sweetest little senior dogs that have ever lived. I love adopting senior dogs and giving them a beautiful retirement! I have a huge heart for animals and am passionately vegan. I love to hike. I love coffee. I love to dance, I love to read. I love to wander around small towns and visit all the local businesses. I love comfy clothes. I love fall. I love listening to people talk about their passions. I love teaching. I could go on for days of things I love (because I also love to talk!).
I have carried my love of movement throughout my life. From a young age I was a dancer and gymnast and eventually pursued a degree in Dance Performance at Kent State University. After injury and needing hip surgery in my twenties I began to become more interested in anatomy and functional movement patterns. This is what eventually led me to LYT yoga where I am a 500 hour certified instructor. I also have a Biomechanics certification from Pinnacle Performance. A self declared anatomy nerd I believes that movement is medicine and a huge component in aging well.
I have a B.S. in Applied Behavioral Science from Pennsylvania State University. I knew I was drawn to helping people heal when I went down that path, but I wasn’t clear where that would lead me. Somatic facilitation and archetypal shadow work supported me through one of the most challenging seasons of my life and it was immediately clear to me that I needed to share this medicine with others.
Compassion is at the forefront of my vision for all beings. I am excited to help people reach their fullest potential!
