Karen KIRKNESS
Senior Yoga Teacher
Karen, Founder of Meadowlark Yoga, is a clinical anatomist and passionate yogi with 20+ years’ experience, known for strength, softness and a fascination with all things spiral. She holds an MFA and MSc in Human Anatomy from the University of Edinburgh Biomedical Sciences and a PhD candidate with research in Medical Sciences and Anatomy Education at Hull York Medical School. Originally an Ashtangi, Karen's style incorporates power, humour and exploration. Her teaching is informed by early influences of endurance sports, and more recently, motherhood. She weaves threads of theory and physicality into her fascia-aware, nonlinear approach.
