Karen Burge
Has always been an honest soul in the search for peace. With a deep love & compassion for animals & a profound respect for the beauty & power of nature. Lake Havasu, Arizona became her home in 2007. She moved here from California to build her own Wedding Cake Business. As the business grew, so did the level of stress in her daily life. Karen has always enjoyed exercise... walking, biking, & hiking to keep fit & to manage the stress of owning a business. There was however another exercise that brought her to where she is today, Co-Owner of The Study Yoga Studio. She discovered yoga is more than just another form of exercise, it's a lifestyle. Yoga strengthens & tones the body beautifully, yet the benefits go beyond. Helping one to manage the mind and empower the spirit. Desiring more understanding of the benefits & history of yoga, she enrolled in a Teacher Training program. This brought to her a strong desire to share the knowledge & benefits of yoga with others. "This practice promotes healthy & positive habits to live by. You learn how to take care of you. Your heart. Your mind. Your spirit."

I am excited to guide you on your journey of wellness & mindfulness through the practice of yoga. I come from a dance background having studied ballet & jazz from a very young age. I became a trained ballerina and competitive dancer for the early portion of my life, dedicating my life to dance, music & movement. After marriage and starting a family, my new found passion was in fitness. I spent the next 20yrs teaching dance aerobics and functional fitness. Yoga found its way into my life after many years of strenuous exercise and wear and tear on my joints & muscles. Searching for a new way to slow down not only my body but also my mind. My strong love & passion for yoga called me to guide others through the practice of yoga & mindfulness. Aromatherapy and Sound Healing is incorporated into all my classes to uplift and send positive energy to the emotional center of our beings. I invite you to join me on the mat as I guide you on a journey to strengthen your Mind, Body & Soul.

"Namaste, I love teaching yoga because it gives me an opportunity to lead with intention. When I teach, I truly intend to share love, wisdom and acceptance to others. The greatest gift of all is seeing that my intentional vibration has been received by my fellow yogis."
Dana Cuney
Began her yoga practice about 20 years ago, and she was immediately "hooked"! She found that yoga not only helped her physically, but also allowed her to quiet the mind, reduce stress, and learn to live in the moment. For her, yoga became a lifetime practice.
Yoga, its teachings, and the instructors, greatly changed her life. As one teacher used to say "yoga can change the world one yogi at a time".
After much encouragement from her mentors, she became an instructor in 2014. Now she truly enjoys sharing all the benefits of this simple practice, both mental and physical. It's wonderful for all ages, and especially beneficial for everyone as we age. Without balance and strength, we are pretty limited in everything we attempt to do.
Jinica Torrez
Is a kind, compassionate soul navigating through her own journey to health and wellness, sharing her experiences with anyone who asks. A lifelong battle with depression and anxiety stemmed from childhood sexual abuse has brought her to the healing practice of yoga. Reconnecting the mind, body & spirit to establish safety and stability in one’s body, one’s relationships, and the rest of one’s life has been monumental in healing. Lake Havasu City became her home in 2015, after taking a leap in love. She currently lives with her boyfriend Kenny. They enjoy the magic of these desert lands with frequent hikes, camping, and fishing trips, being out in nature as often as possible. Jinica has a wide range of life experience, from working with exotic animals, to being initiated with the Bwiti in Gabon Africa, to being a founding member of Aubrey Marcus’s Fit for Service Mastermind program. Jinica's hunger for learning life’s lessons and her open minded “live and let live” attitude, along with her easy going nature make it easy to open up and be comfortable in her classes.
