  • Description

    I am a very happy, spiritual, eco-minded, nature lover who loves to travel and experience this beautiful planet and the opportunity to connect with and learn from all the beautiful human beings and sentient beings that share this planet together in commUNITY. I am a 59 year old child of the Universe, who moved to Italy in 2011 from the United States. I choose a plant-based diet; I don't drink or smoke; and I am very clean, positive, respectful, conscientious, honest and dependable. I have a Master's degree in Physical Therapy and worked as a physical therapist for five years before deciding to dedicate my time to teaching yoga. I love sharing TriYoga (http://triyoga.com) and the innumerable benefits of yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises. I am also a Reconnective Healing® Foundational practitioner and TheReconnection® Certified Practitioner from The Reconnective Healing Academy ( https://www.thereconnection.com). I also enjoy offering English language help, help with animal care and general help. I have experience walking dogs and love spending time with people of all ages and animal friends. Here is my yoga biography: Kim has a Master’s degree in Physical Therapy and practiced physical therapy for five years. Kim dedicates her teaching to TriYoga and studied with the founder of TriYoga, Kali Ray. A devoted practitioner of yoga since 1997, she  completed the Iyengar yoga teacher-training program with Patricia Walden and assisted Patricia Walden in her classes for 2 and a half years.. Kim completed several seminars in Kripalu and Para yoga and has been an avid practitioner of qigong since 1999. Kim loves sharing the transformative benefits of yoga, qigong, meditation and a positive mind with everyone who is interested, and follows a vegan lifestyle to respect the animals, her health and the planet.

  • More details about your skills

    I have a Master's degree in Physical Therapy and worked as a physical therapist for five years. I stopped working as a physical therapist to focus on sharing the innumerable benefits of yoga and meditation. My main skill is teaching: the physical postures, asanas; breathing exercises, Pranayama; and meditation, dhyana. Having worked as a physical therapist I am very skilled at using yoga therapeutically and have experience managing people of All Levels in the same yoga class and teaching in retreat settings with groups of people from diverse backgrounds. I am happy to teach private sessions, groups or workshops. I am also a Reconnective Healing Foundational Practitioner and practitioner of TheReconnection® Certified Practitioner from The Reconnective Healing Academy ( https://www.thereconnection.com) and love to share these energy healing practices. I am a vegan and enjoy helping people who are interested in transitioning to a vegan diet. I love all animals and have experience in caring for cats, dogs and horses having grown up in the countryside in Montana. I love walking and have experience walking dogs. I would love to learn about permaculture and everything we can do to help the planet and All life that shares this planet together to evolve to a place of more peace, harmony, love and reverence for All Life forms.

  • What else ...

    I am a very positive, open-minded and Light-minded person who enjoys life and all the experiences and learning it offers us through all encounters. I am an ethical vegan so I choose to not eat any meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey or animal products. I am interested in becoming a better vegan cook to help others experience delicious, vegan food that helps save our health, the animals and this beautiful planet we share together. I am single and I do not have any children; nor am I the guardian of any animal friends at this time. I appreciate the learning experiences granted to us from the vicissitudes of life; I love the opportunity to travel; and I cherish the opportunity to learn from everyone I meet. I have had many wonderful experiences and made many new friends through workaway. I love meditating and spending time in nature, archaeological sites, sacred sites and museums. I love learning about the history and philosophy of the entire universe and multiverse. I aspire to learn new ways of soul expression through languages, song, dance, art, music, poetry and all modalities that help us enjoy life more by sharing the gifts of our Authentic selves. I love all practices that enhance our ability to heal and empower ourselves (self-love, self-worth, self-trust) uplifting us to cultivate positive minds, and to connect to, to respect and to embrace the equality, diversity and uniqueness of all life for the welfare and benefit of All Sentient Beings that share this planet together. I am very interested in spirituality, metaphysics, expansion of human consciousness, the power of the mind and human and Soul evolution. I have completed Dolores Cannon's Level One Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique training and I have learned so much from teachers like Dr. Joe Dispenza and Judy Satori. My current mentor is Viviane Chauvet (https://www.infinitehealingfromthestars.com). I am also a Reconnective Healing Foundational Practitioner and I am certified in the Personal Reconnection from The Reconnective Healing Academy ( https://www.thereconnection.com). I have completed a sound-healing course with Chloe Goodchild, the founder of the Naked Voice and appreciate the opportunity to learn as much as I can on this earth journey to help co-create a better world for everyone. I am very friendly and social; however, I equally enjoy spending a lot of quiet time alone. I am interested in intentional communities where there is the opportunity to share and learn from all members. I have excellent personal and professional references. I also have references on airbnb and talktalkbnb. This is my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/Veganpleasenow. Thank you. I look forward to meeting many new friends. Sincerely in Cosmic Light, Love, Joy, Abundance and Freedom for All Sentient Beings, Kim (Karuna)
