Koren began her journey of yoga while touring around India on a motorcycle from 1991-1993. When she returned she wrote her Master’s thesis on using yoga to teach English as a Second Language. In 1998 she started the first yoga program for credit in the Los Angeles Unified School District where she spent over ten years teaching two daily yoga classes as well as English, psychology and health.

Since 2002 she has worked in India under the direct guidance of BKS Iyengar and his daughter Geeta for a month or two every other year. Her classes weave state of the art Iyengar instruction with enthusiasm and a sense of humor as she guides students towards a better understanding of themselves; body, mind and spirit. Besides teaching yoga Koren is a stilt performer and costumier.
