Karen Hansen

Karen Nicole Hansen is a STOTT Pilates trained instructor and owner of  Oasis Movement. Karen’s Pilates journey began in 2012 when a chiropractor recommended Pilates reformer exercises as a way to rehabilitate injuries, improve mobility, and increase muscle tone. It didn’t take long for Karen to fall in love with Pilates and she hopes to bring her love of Pilates and anatomy to all of her students! Karen is an energetic and passionate Pilates instructor with a contagious (snort) laugh and a love for teaching. As a teacher with injuries, she understands physical limitations, making her an empathetic teacher. Whether it’s your first Pilates session or your five-hundredth, Karen will make your feel comfortable on the reformer and get you excited to move!

Karen currently works a full-time job in advertising and teaches Pilates reformer classes as her passion project. When Karen is not teaching Pilates, she loves to cook, embroider, travel, make Spotify playlists, and spend time with her husband and cats, Toby and Luna.
