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.

Quiet and Calm: A Pre-Winter Lakeside Retreat

UPDATE: Registration might be officially closed (I say “might” because I’m waiting on a couple of strong yeses to confirm)! For the first time ever, I may have to turn folks away from coming on a yoga retreat with me. Which is a great and not-so-great problem to have, as I would LOVE to accept everyone [...]

The People In Your Neighborhood

Two days ago, a man was killed a little less than a block away from my home at 10:30 a.m. in broad, icy daylight. The suspect, a mentally-ill man in his mid-twenties, was thankfully and quickly apprehended. Many bystanders, including schoolchildren, witnessed this gruesome act, and I could have easily been one of them had [...]

The Yoga of Personal Style

I’m starting this decade off holding myself a little more upright. And no, it’s not because I stretch my spine for a living. Not in this instance, anyway. It’s because I received a style consultation from Jessica Vaughan of Get Lifestyled. What’s a style consultation, you ask?It’s a process that involves reviewing every single piece [...]

Miss Halloween already? (Re)Treat Yourself To Something Sa-weet!

We are all kinds of excited up in here. I stumbled upon this lovely bed and breakfast on a recent trip to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands, and I could not shake the notion that I wanted to hold a gathering of merry yoga-makers there. And I wanted to do it soon, like, as [...]

Awesome Phyzz Phan-mail from PDX

Got this note from a friend who moved to Portland last year. Needs no introduction other than “Thank you, Natalie!” Oh, and for the record, the TV appearance she’s talking about is actually not Phyzz’s TV Debut teaching yoga weekly at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, but a random guest appearance yours truly made [...]

I’m gonna climb you, sucka!

This is the view looking southeast from the 40th floor of the Seattle Municipal Tower. It’s publicly accessible – perfect meditation spot on a clear day! For those not local to Seattle, notable landmarks (L-R) include the salmon-pink Amazon.com building,  I-5, Seattle sports stadiums Qwest and Safeco. Oh, and that HUGE, HONKIN’ mountain just faintly [...]

Dear Russian Spammers

Please stop spamming my website! Thanks.

Sometimes it’s the simple things…

…that make your day/evening/month/year. This is a gorgeous tree in my alley, all dolled-up in some lighting finery for an equally gorgeous Seattle evening. Welcome, Spring!

A World of WOW.

  This is pretty amazing. I have been a little too busy (in a good way!) to blog over the past week or so, but I just checked the stats on the Phyzz website and was just so blown away by this that I had to share. Phyzz’s presence has had a global reach over [...]
