# Karen Calder Yoga
Karen Calder Yoga offers Iyengar yoga classes and pilates instruction at Loft Studio in Troon. This specialised approach to yoga emphasises precise alignment, controlled movement and strategic use of props—blocks, bolsters, straps and chairs—to make poses accessible and safe for bodies of all abilities.
Karen teaches students across the full spectrum: over-50s classes for those seeking gentle, age-appropriate practice; beginners finding their footing in yoga for the first time; intermediate practitioners working towards more challenging postures; and those recovering from injury or illness. She recognises that every body arrives with different needs, histories and limitations. Whether a student needs to build flexibility, develop strength, restore confidence in movement or correct postural imbalances, Karen tailors her teaching accordingly.
What sets Karen apart is her philosophy that yoga should leave you feeling better than when you arrived. Her classes address chronic pain prevention through body awareness and balance work—understanding that postural imbalances often lead to injury. The Iyengar method's careful use of props means students can access benefits regardless of mobility level, whilst still progressing meaningfully over time.
Karen offers in-studio classes throughout the week at various times, plus a Friday morning Zoom option for those preferring home-based practice. She also leads annual yoga holidays to Crete, combining instruction with retreat experiences.
