Karuna Yoga Buffalo

I have been attending Jean’s classes since 2016 and it is the highlight of my week. Yoga has truly changed and enhanced my life. It has taught me how to deal with life’s stressors. It has taught me how to be comfortable with being in uncomfortable situations. She gets to know all of her students personally. It’s not just a class to her. Jean is changing lives by helping people get to know their true selves. Namaste 🙏

It is hard to explain how truly fortunate I am to have discovered Karuna Yoga Buffalo. Jean has created so much more than simply a yoga class; she has crafted a compassionate and progressive community of truly wonderful people. I have been part of Karuna Yoga for numerous years now. When I first decided to try out yoga as a beginner, I was nervous and unsure of my capabilities, but within minutes of my first class, I felt extremely comfortable, completely welcomed, and wholly supported. Thank you for all that you do, Jean!

I absolutely love this class and Jean the instructor! She encourages you to challenge yourself but does not push you beyond your capabilities.. She allows/encourages you to explore your inner strength, giving positive feedback throughout class. She is also very good about makeup classes and shifting from one class to another if needed. Other instructors that I have had in the past have not been so "flexible" when missing a class.

I asked Jean to join her classes while I was going through a very confused period of my life. Especially my mind was going in and out from trains of thoughts.

The first class I took, I noticed right away how my breath was not circular but it was stopping somewhere. And it was very difficult for me to keep mi mind focused. I still remember Jean's voice asking for our breath to be a continuous flow of breathing in and out. Jean's classes are not centered on physical exercise, as many think yoga classes should be, but on the development of healthy habits for mind and body. This is the third row of classes I am taking and I surely notice how the regular practice of yoga and meditation has improved my life, my body and my mind.

Jean is a fantastic instructor, compassionate and caring. I cannot recommend her enough.

I absolutely love Jean's yoga sessions!! She is an amazing instructor whose passion for yoga is clearly evident in the way she conducts her classes. The feeling of peace and serenity and balance that I feel after finishing one of her classes is one of the highlights of my week. I would recommend her class to people new to yoga and to those who have been practicing for years, as Jean goes above and beyond to make sure all of her students are receiving all of the wonderful benefits that yoga provides. Thank you, Jean, for all you have done to help me learn about and experience the amazing power of yoga : )
