The Landscape Within

My name is Karim Memi and I am a Professional Yoga Instructor focusing on the Iyengar Method.  I maintain a select yoga studio and also see private clients in the Kansas City area.

History and Background

My journey as a yoga instructor started 30 years ago, when  B.K.S Iyengar became my beloved teacher.

I was born in Argentina where I began my studies with Senior Iyengar teacher Marina Chaselon.  When I moved to the US, I continued my training with several Iyengar Senior Instructors including Patricia Walden John Schumacher and Randy Just, to name a few.

I am so grateful for the opportunities I've had to travel to India (Twice!) to study at the Ramamani Memorial Iyengar Institute of Yoga where I received guidance from the incredible teachers Prashant and Geeta Iyengar and from B. K. S Iyengar, whose presence was a gift. 

Philosophy

I truly believe that yoga is for EVERYONE  and EVERY “Body."

We are spiritual beings  having a PHYSICAL experience and we need to honor that journey as well.  Yoga is a safe and gentle way to do this...

Method

I meet people where they are.   It matters not if you are a beginning student or advanced; we can ALL deepen our understanding of ourselves through awareness and connection using imagery, breathwork and trust. 

Yoga and The Voice

My music journey goes back to when I was 6 years old and started to play the guitar and sing with my father.  Music took me to many countries and on many adventures.  I sang in several languages and genres, in theaters, bars, festivals, conventions...  I lived in France playing and singing Argentinean Tango. 

I tried working with various voice teachers, but I always felt as if there was “something missing,” so I sang all of my life without ever having studied voice.  Over the last two years singing and eventually speaking became more and more frustrating... Until now!  

I am grateful to my friend Lee Veal for introducing me to Karen Tucker!

Working with Karen brings much meaning to my vocal journey, and for the FIRST time EVER instructions make sense and resonate in my heart, body, and mind.  I am ready to reach and enjoy my fullest potential in this life and my voice is a big part of that!

Karen is a generous, smart, sincere, fun, well educated, and loving teacher.  I trust her to guide my voice into freedom and expansion!!! I am very honored to share Karen with you and also help you on YOUR journey to song!
