Karen Fournier
BS Exercise Physiology, E-RYT200, RYT 500,
Certified Fascial Fitness Trainer

As a lifelong athlete, Karen has been a teacher and coach with adults and children of all ages. For the past 10 years, Karen has been a student of yoga, with the last four years being the most influential in becoming a certified teacher. Karen came to yoga as a healing modality and knew she wanted the opportunity to share the practice of yoga with others. When she met Debbi Murphy with Shanti Yoga School, she knew her chance had arrived.

Karen’s yoga teacher training led to the experience of many different styles and teachings of yoga toward the 500 RYT (Registered Yoga Therapist) with Yoga Alliance. She works with Matt Booth PT, DPT, and OCS of Therapeutic Associates. Through his work and guidance, Karen became infatuated with the recent research on fascia. This led to Karen’s study and certification though the Fascial Fitness Society with Robert Schleip, Divo Muller and Tom Myers.

Karen’s intention is to teach a vinyasa flow with organic movement and the principle of Fascial fitness for a life long practice. Currently she is the only RYT 500 Yoga and certified Fascial Fitness Trainer in the United States. She teaches classes to teens and adults in the greater Boise area and is in the process of traveling the world completing her RYT 1000 with Yoga Medicine with her teacher Tiffany Cruikshank. While raising her three children and their wild assortment of pets, art and activities with her husband in Boise, Idaho.
