Tribe Leader - Montréal (Canada)

About me

Hi I am Kara Thorsen, founder and teacher of The Little Yoga Room, my practice of yoga began in 1992. The catalyst being a scoliosis that formed an obsession of how things are placed, linked and create patterns in both the body and mind. Having explored different forms of yoga, I found that BKS Iyengar’s interpretation of yoga was the one that harmonized to me, catering to the logical mind with the detailed arrangement of the body. I came to Montreal in 2003 to begin studies with Marie-Andree Morin at the Centre de Yoga Iyengar de Montreal.Marie Andree brought me through my first 2 exams. I have studied with the Iyengar family both in Inda and out. Faeq and Corrine are also teachers I travel to study with on repeated trips to France.
