INSTRUCTORS: KAREN AND SEAN CONLEY

Karen has always been inspired to help people reach their full potential and face their challenges with courage and integrity. After graduating from Fordham University, she began her teaching career in the public school systems where she later went on to work with high-risk teenagers putting them through challenging situations in the rugged outdoors of Canada where they were able to reach their highest potential.

Karen infuses her joyful, high-energy classes with her belief that we can best serve others and heal ourselves through this dynamic and transforming yoga practice. Karen is a highly experienced teacher and and has led workshops and teacher trainings for over 16 years around the world. Karen was inspired to teach power vinyasa from her first teacher, Baron Baptiste. She has trained extensively with Baron and is a Certified Baptiste Yoga Teacher and is an Accredited Yoga Alliance Teacher Trainer.

She has devoted her life to assisting her students along their yoga journey. “Yoga for me is a practice that insists that I continue to take a closer look at how I can create change and balance in my life. I use that as a platform to inspire others to really invest in their own lives and to get passionate about themselves and all they have to offer.” 

Sean has been teaching yoga for over 15 years and first discovered it after a four-year stint in the NFL after he suffered an injury. Sean began practicing power flow yoga due to back and hip injuries caused from overuse and overtraining. He has found yoga to be healing in many ways and not just physical. “The mental peace that yoga offered was unexpected, but it was the driver to continue and eventually take up teaching.” Sean began his training with Karen in their living room, then took up more formal trainings with multiple teachers, including Baron Baptiste and other talented vinyasa yoga teachers. Sean is an Accredited Yoga Alliance Teacher Trainer.

He is the co-author of the best-selling yoga book, “Amazing Yoga: A Practical Guide to Strength, Wellness, and Spirit,” and is also the soon to be released book, “The Kicker ." Sean has taught to thousands of students at their studios, including doing specialized yoga work with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

I really enjoyed this Level 1 Reiki training! It was a fun and engaging opportunity to learn more about the history and practice of Reiki. Karen does a beautiful job a leading the group discussion and creating a safe, inviting and fun atmosphere for all participating! We did actually get a lot of hands on expereince and demonstrations working with the other students in the class. I left with a lot more knowledge and expereince than I thought possible in a one-day training! And, if I am feeling inspired to keep studying on my own time, we also went home with a thick spiral-bound training manual to study on our own, included as part of the training. Karen has a great energy and love for Reiki and she made this training fun and insteresting!

Karen’s reiki training was truly an amazing experience. She was unbelievably warm, knowledgeable, kind and ensured participants got the most out of the training. I highly recommend this training for one who is looking to expand their knowledge of reiki and begin practicing.

Blue Spirit is located in the jungle of Costa Rica - located walking distance below is the Pacific Ocean. The combination of the natural world, yoga practices 2x a day, and organic hyperlocal food creates an atmosphere for deep connection with your personal self. Thank you Karen for bringing a group of gals together in such a special space. A trip to remember!🤍

The Goddess Retreat at Blue Spirit can only be described as magical. The resort itself is perched on an amazing piece of hillside overlooking the beautiful beaches of the Pacific Ocean. We practiced yoga 2x a day, took a group dance class, attended a new moon circle, and ate amazing & healthy meals together. There were optional excursions and spa treatments throughout the week. I tried surfing for the first time and had one of the best deep-tissue massages of my life. This was my 3rd goddess retreat in the last 5 years and I always leave feeling inspired and energized. I will definitely be back next year. Thanks to our host & teacher, Karen, for an amazing week <3

Goddess retreat at Blue Spirit, Costa Rica was pure magic. Fresh, locally grown food at every meal. Inclusive, accessible yoga classes twice a day that were revitalizing and challenging, but not demanding. I gained 25 new friends for life! We ate, drank, surfed, shared, and I will definitely be back next year. ❤️
