Karen Quinn began her yoga journey, like many as a way to heal from loss and life's difficulties. In yoga she found an opportunity to blend a lifelong interest in the modern understanding of anatomy and physiology with the wisdom that has been amassed throughout the ages.

Her yoga training includes certification with the Yoga Alliance at the RYT-500 level and E-RYT 500 level. She studied yoga therapy with Rocky Mountain Institute of Yoga and Ayurveda. Additionally, she studied under Joseph Lepaige, Integrative Yoga Therapy. She completed Restorative Yoga teacher training with Judith Lasater in 2009.

In 2005, she became director of the teacher training program at Rishis Crossing in Denver, CO, where she provides an in-depth course in teaching yoga and most importantly, learning about the deeper self.

Karen has a warm and compassionate personality and is adept at communicating with her students in a way that makes her lessons easy to assimilate. She creates a comfortable atmosphere that encourages questions, self-exploration and laughter! Karen’s many life experiences allow her to understand the challenges each student faces and work with them towards overcome obstacles.

Karen has broad experience in the business world. She owned and operated an aerial helicopter company with her late husband, Peter Peelgrane. She was Executive Director for Leadership Denver Association for many years. In 1995, she began a speaking career, sharing with large groups, both nationally and internationally ideas and experiences about living with disabilities and easing the transtion in dying. Her children and grandchildren are scattered around the world, but always close to her heart.
