Karen Jordan

Experience: Karen has been involved w/athletics and movement for 40 years. Trained as a competitive gymnast throughout her childhood, Karen continued in the realm of movement as an adult by studying adult group fitness/exercise and coaching/choreographing gymnastics for girls and teens. This further lead to her study of expressive movement and energy work, ultimately bringing her back to the Mind/Body/Spirit practices ¡V Flowing Chi Grooves, Yoga and Pilates. Her beliefs stem from the center (core) of the body as the powerhouse used to negotiate all movement, while using mind focus to bring awareness and ultimately control to the body. The breath creates ease of movement, naturally allowing energy and flow to the bodies systems, while alignment provides safety for the expression.
