Karyn Force, RN, CKYT, Reiki Master

“Our retreat in Spain was amazing!  Everything was meticulously organized with such loving attention to detail.  My favorite morning yoga sessions, overlooking the Mediterranean, put me in a great mood for the day, followed by an array of delicious breakfast goodies and great conversation. It’s hard to capture everything that made this trip so special, but it’s one that I’ll never forget including the new friendships that were made. Thank you Karyn; you truly are ‘one of a kind’ and I feel blessed to have been part of the group 🙏”

“As I lay on the mat for our closing yoga practice – “ Magical, Joy, Peaceful, Needed, Connections, Community”, were some of the words my fellow yogis used to describe the retreat. It truly was all that and that much more! Every aspect of the retreat was meticulously planned! Each day we had wonderful excursions to local towns sandwiched between a thoughtfully curated daily morning and evening yoga practice. The in-house private chef cooked us the most delicious, nutritious and nourishing meals. The retreat was  the perfect balance of relaxation, fun and adventure. I left feeling rejuvenated in mind, body and spirit with a newfound determination to keep up my daily yoga practice.”

“What a fantastic yoga/reiki retreat!  Lots of time for self-reflection and relaxation, offering peace for mind, body, and soul.  Lovely accommodation’s, yoga and reiki sessions, fun-filled excursions and delicious food!! Wonderful connections, new friendships, and laughter surrounded by the beauty and sounds of the mountains and seaside villa. Thank you Karyn for such wonderful memories!”

“My husband and I started yoga classes with Karyn two or three years ago, we wanted something we could both manage and the restorative class was perfect for us. We ventured to one of the Yoga/Reiki candlelight workshops one evening, and I caught the bug, I had to know more about Reiki. Thanks to Karyn’s expert and compassionate tutelage through Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and a 9 month apprenticeship to become a Reiki Master, my whole outlook and understanding on holistic healing has shifted. Not only did I learn how to practice Reiki, I also expanded my own spiritual understanding, and began a new career working at a hospital practicing Therapeutic Arts and Holistic Services for patients. It’s been quite a journey, and Karyn has been there every step of the way to teach and support me. I feel very lucky to have found her through yoga, and to have found my niche this life.”

Judy C., Yoga and Reiki Master Student, Spain Retreat Participant

“I’ve been taking yoga classes with Karyn for 3 years now. I’ve never been very flexible and had always avoided yoga because I knew I would struggle. But after trying Karyn’s class, I was immediately impressed by her enthusiasm and the supportive atmosphere she creates for those of us who find it challenging. Karyn is truly a lovely person, and her classes are always fun and relaxed — something I genuinely look forward to each week. The class sizes are perfect, with a great mix of ages and levels. She provides multiple options for each pose and encourages us to dial it back when needed to maintain proper form, ensuring that we get the most out of each pose. Though I still have a long way to go, I’ve seen steady improvement year after year, and I now feel much more in tune with my body. If you’ve ever considered trying yoga but feel daunted by it, I highly recommend giving Karyn a try. She’s fabulous!”

– Liz S., yoga student

“I recently attended and completed Karyn’s Reiki I and Reiki II certification class. I had very little Reiki experience other than receiving a few treatments over the years. I was most interested in the training so I could confidently offer a natural and effective healing tool to my colleagues. Karyn’s training was comprehensive and approachable, fun and very relaxing! I now have a self-care tool I am comfortable practicing on myself and on others.”

“I am so glad that I found Karyn to help me try to regain some flexibility in my creaky body!  She is everything one could want a yoga teacher to be – calming, caring, skilled, adaptable, and radiating peacefulness and acceptance.  I look forward to our sessions (both class and semi-private) and come away feeling just a little younger!”

— Nancy S., private client and yoga student

“I have felt so much benefit in my life from Reiki. Karyn has such a clear sense of where my body needs balancing and I feel such a lightness and sense of calm at the end of the session. She has such a gift!  She is so truly focused and in tune with me throughout the Reiki session, I feel very comfortable with her and always look forward to the next session!”

— Val C., private client

“Karyn is a compassionate and open-hearted guide and mentor, inviting each person to explore the yoga practice appropriate for them in each moment. She reminds us to experience yoga not merely as a sequence of postures, but, more deeply, as what happens to us as we explore those postures. I’m grateful to have found her class.”

— Marc R., private client and yoga student

“Karyn’s love and respect for the practice of yoga is very apparent in her classes. She is well-prepared and engaged as she leads us through various movements and postures, easily connecting with members of the class, often helping to make pose adjustments as needed. I look forward to class time and leave these classes feeling calm, well-stretched, and maybe just a little bit taller.”

— Beth R., yoga student

“My husband and I look forward to our Steinberg classes and private sessions with Karyn. She is an attentive and enthusiastic yoga teacher. She knows how to read bodies and guide us to make adjustments so that we are working just at our edge so we can be simultaneously challenged and comfortable. That’s quite a feat!”
