Kara Komarnitsky grew up in the Salt Lake Valley and currently works as a freelance dancer, choreographer, and teacher. She has been teaching yoga since 2020 and incorporates her experience with various dance and somatic practices into her classes. Throughout her life, Kara has experienced movement practice as a unique portal to self-inquiry, creativity, and connection. She fell in love with the way yoga addresses all aspects of our human experience and offers clear pathways to practicing and embodying the qualities of compassion, patience, and dedication in daily life. She strives to create a space in her classes where each person can choose their own adventure and connect to a sense of community. Every class is an opportunity to explore the sensations of the body, observe the activity of the mind, and savor the energy offered by the breath. How often are we asked to be truly present with ourselves? And what can we discover when we give ourselves permission to be with exactly what is here? Outside of class, you can catch her tending her garden or on a local stage.
