Community and Connection and The Phoenix, sober active community are proud to introduce Karin German, creator of Yoga On The Go (YOTG). Karin is a certified Hatha Yoga Instructor. Additional certifications include Gentle and Chair Yoga, Restorative Yoga, Reiki Level I & II.

Each session incorporates asanas (poses) pranayama (proper breathing techniques), affirmations, visualizations and guided meditations for students of all ages, abilities and lifestyles.

YOTG’s simple approach is to meet each student exactly where they are (mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually) to integrate the whole yogic experience deeply within.
