A vibrant single mother of two young sons, Karol embodies what it means to be a yoga teacher. Her philosophy is a simple one: “Do what you can where you are. Don’t judge your body because it’s not ready to do a pose. Give yourself time and your body will learn.”
Yoga is more than just a practice for this amazing teacher; it’s also a way of life. “I’ve learned so many things since I became a teacher. I know that I have a certain body type, and I discovered very quickly that I could do many difficult postures without a lot of effort. Working with different students who had different body types and abilities, I saw that doing those hard poses didn’t make me a better teacher. I know that we each have something special about us, and yoga helps us discover that and honor it.”
Karol’s classes don’t follow a specific pattern although they are firmly grounded in traditional yoga teachings. “I like to mix things up,” she says with a laugh. “I don’t really think about it; I believe you should let things flow. Every class is different. Sometimes, you come in with the idea you are going to teach a certain type of class, but you see your students aren’t really ready for it, so you make adjustments. It’s joyful when I see everyone participating in their own way, not struggling, although we do work hard, because that is yoga.”
Karol taught at Peace Love Yoga Palm Springs for 6 years and is one of the most well-regarded and respected yoga teachers in all of Palm Springs. Her classes are a vibrant fusion of postures that truly uplift and challenge her students to find the teacher within. In addition to Vinyasa Flow, Karol teaches Sunrise Yoga, Gentle Yoga and Restorative for our studio and throughout the Coachella Valley.
Karol is available for private group instruction.
Karol Trejo Here's what her students have to say about her classes:
"Karol is a gentle yoga teacher and makes you feel comfortable in class right away. As a guy, I wasn’t sure about trying yoga. Karol took time to encourage me to listen to what I was feeling in each posture. Every class is different and you come out of them feeling better than you did when you went in." Luqman B.
