WHAT THEY’RE SAYING
“Hands down one of the best yoga teachers in my life. She is real, raw and true. I adore Kari”
~Yasmina K, 15+ years yoga student
“Kari's presence as a teacher is palpable from the very moment she starts, to not only lead you through a class with alignment, but a sense of safety, ease and humor, which very few teachers have. She makes you smile she makes you think and she inspires you to want more for yourself and even encourages a sense of wanting more for others.”
- Loren Cherrstrom, Certified Yoga Instructor since 2003
“Kari has the ability to take you away while being firmly grounded. Best ever teacher! I will follow and practice with her forever.”
~ Bobbie CL, former athlete
“I've been doing yoga in LA since 2017 & during that time I've yet to have a 26&2 instructor as perfect & as amazing as Kari. She took command of the class in a gentle but firm manner. Kari's steady & calm direction, her adjustments, instruction & passion for yoga is evidenced by the precise attention she gave each one of us in the class. I've gone to hundreds of 26&2 classes. Kari’s class is the best.”
~ Chris P.
“Kari is such a wonderful & compassionate teacher. I love how she explains poses & always influences with humor.”
~ Ari O.
“Kari is exactly the yoga teacher I was looking for. At age thirty, I began to really feel the lingering effects of my athletic career, my gimpy knee, the aching shoulder, the stiff hips, and I decided to give yoga a try. Of the many yoga teachers I’ve experienced in the last tens years, Kari’s mastery of the yoga postures and sense of how to help each individual really stands out. Kari understands that everyone’s body is different and her teaching style focuses on form and subtle progress, while challenging you and focusing your mind. I highly recommend her for anyone, but especially for athletes or former athletes."
– Ian Graham, Lawyer, Yoga Student since 2007
“Kari makes me love being present. Her words alone create a beautiful yoga experience. I fell in love with Kari the moment we met. She's truly a gift to earth. Her voice is wonderfully gorgeous, her mind + heart are powerful. She holds space like no one else I've met. She's free spirited & so much fun. If you have the chance to take her class do it 100%, even to speak with her, chill and vibe is always the best time.
~ Kristen S.
“I went on this retreat because Kari knows what the fuck is up.”
~ Lauren C.
“My daughter Alyssa has taken Kari's yoga class at school for almost two years and absolutely loves it! She has become incredibly flexible. Kari recently taught a yoga class for my daughter’s birthday and it was a complete success! All of the girl’s were fully engaged following her yoga poses. She paid careful attention to each girl ensuring their safety. Kari carefully observes her students and pushes them to their next level."
– Emilie Leigh, parent, Visitation Catholic School
“Kari’s teaching is truly transformational, she has the voice, actually and spiritually to inspire and encourage you to your greatest performance. I have been an athlete my entire life starting gymnastics at 4 years of age and am now 66 and performing aerialist tricks. Were it not for my yoga training I am sure I wouldn’t be flying quite as high.”
- Bobbie Casalino-Lewis, Personal Style Motivator, Yoga Student since 2013
“Kari Jaffe and her yoga program has given our students a unique avenue to experience fitness and mind-body wellness. With specific stretches, breathing techniques and real yoga instruction, our boys and girls have improved academically in the classroom, and improve their social and emotional interactions. We love Kari!”
– Christopher Watson, Principal, Visitation Catholic School
“Kari J, not only a teacher, but dedicated practitioner, understands this yoga can be both mystifying and challenging, and has created a space in her 26x2 workshop where she takes the time to break down the most elusive postures, into a language that is relatable to every shape and experience level.”
~ Sarah K, 8+ years teacher
“The details begin before a single posture is started, building a solid foundation of breath and balance that sets you up to move with proper engagement and alignment. Acknowledging that not all yogis are built the same, Kari provides several options that allow students to maximize the benefits of each shape while maintaining the integrity and purpose of the pose. The adjustments, often minute, are accessible and IMMEDIATELY effective. There’s a lot of “whoa's” echoed throughout the room after a breakthrough occurs from a simple adjustment. The 90 minute yoga class following the workshop, provides immediate application. The tools gained from these workshops have transformed my energy level and experience of practicing these poses.”
~ Shannon P, 15+ years student of yoga
“There are teachers and then there are TEACHERS. Teachers that put their heart and soul into what they convey to their students, teachers who go to a level of extraordinary detail to be sure the message is being clearly heard and internalized. I recently had the joy of participating in a two hour yoga workshop followed by a 90 minute practice, curated and delivered by Kari. Spending 4 hours in a hot room doing simple yet difficult positions was an incredible out of mind, embodied experience. Kari J is that one in a million gem of a teacher.”
