Hello everyone!

* Leaners are welcome to join at any time! :)

WELCOME TO: KARATE MEETS YOGA WITH SENSEI HELENA! I hope your learner has an incredible time!
This class is a fusion of karate and yoga! I am a karate instructor, and also an individual whom adores practicing yoga.
We will begin our class with stretching then carry forth to karate, an incredible workout, and lastly, we will end with calming yoga techniques and moves. Each class, we will focus on new karate and yoga moves, so you can ensure that your learner will walk away being able to show you their amazing new skills! This class has been designed with learners in mind. I believe learning must always be authentic, nurturing, and a time in which each learner has the opportunity to realize just how capable and amazing they are. My classes focus greatly on confidence-building, and gaining skills, which students can take with them far beyond our virtual learning experience. I connect all classes to real life experiences, and how we can use our new found knowledge to grow as learners. Also, this class focuses greatly on teamwork and collaboration. I encourage all students to share their thoughts, ask questions and work alongside their amazing fellow learners!

What was the inspiration for the class? Well, the answer is super genuine: my own authentic experiences! Karate has been a huge part of my life for over 2 decades. Where does the time go? The saying is very true, indeed: "time flies when you're having fun!" When training, I always focus on ensuring that I warm up well, focus on my karate moves and techniques, get my heart beat going with a fun-filled workout, and end with yoga moves and breathing, which allow for my mind and body to feel relaxed. All of this cumulates into a wonderful experience, which I feel very fortunate to bring to learners!

This class is an introduction to karate and yoga!  Nonetheless, if you have previous karate and/ or yoga experience, this is a great opportunity to continue to practice your fantastic skills, and share your knowledge with your awesome fellow learners. All are welcome! :)
