Welcome to Phyzz’s Blog!

Phyzz Yoga is a Seattle-based mobile yoga studio that brings yoga and meditation classes to offices and unexpected spaces.

We help people energize their relationship to the way they make their living, and see the value of "yoga at work" (get it?).

Read this blog for various musings on yoga and other topics, or, check out our more schmancy, corporate page.

Oh! And we made the local news. Watch our TV Debut!

Who’s Behind Phyzz?


Over the last decade and a half, Karen has worked as a geologist, high school math teacher, dot-com startup geek, IT nerd, and marketing project manager. In 2008 she realized that teaching yoga required her full and undivided attention.

Based in Seattle, she teaches yoga in the home, at the workplace, and around the world. She has been teaching yoga since 2003, and practicing since 1998. She plans retreats to Northwest destinations, to Mexico, and India. Oh yeah, and she’s older than she looks.

On Why I’m Not ALL Yoga ALL The Time

What both Karen and Phyzz had for lunch the other day. Yum.

Sometimes people ask me, “Hey Karen/Phyzz, you’re a yoga business. How come you don’t post/tweet/blog about yoga all the time?”

Here’s the thing: I really don’t want to be some banal, pedantic, yoga-all-the-time-yogis that sends you recycled yoga platitudes and snippets of wisdom. Not that I don’t think there’s any value in it, nor do I think that type of content can’t ever be inspiring…it’s just not my path (insert “Sh!t Yogis Say joke here)

Part of the reason I haven’t created a separate personal twitter account from my business one is that, for all intents and purposes right now, I AM Phyzz. And by that, I am by no means discounting the many able teachers who have taught for and with me over the years. They are Phyzz too, and YOU are Phyzz too. The name of my business is meant to invoke the inner, inherent effervescence which lies in us ALL…sometimes dormant, sometimes exuberant.
This is Life. This is Yoga.
Yoga is, at once, where you are, and where you want to be, because it isn’t anywhere, it’s neither here nor there, rather, it’s EVERYWHERE. And this is also why I keep Phyzz mobile, and resist the ever-present temptation to open a brick-and-mortar studio. This is why I drive all over town so you don’t have to.

I do it remind you that yoga is designed for you to pick it up exactly where you are. No more, no less.

Just in case you were wondering.
