Karina Salazar is a Bay Area native who has fallen in love with teaching and practicing yoga. Karina first fell in love with the practice at the beginning of the pandemic, needing a way to de-stress and cope with all of the uncertainty around her she found yoga and for the first time in what felt like her life, she found a calm and peaceful mind. That moment was the catalyst that led her to learn more about yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and the never-ending journey to finding peace. Later enrolling in a 200hr yoga teacher training program, Karina found her love of teaching this life-changing practice and has been doing so since February 2023. Since then she has learned new teaching formats and has even helped new instructors as they learn the wonderful practice of teaching and embodying yoga. It is her mission and intention to always guide with an open and compassionate heart, hoping to guide those around her to the peace and self love that yoga has helped her find.
