Karisa Connor I Author

Karisa is a true Jersey Girl at heart, born and raised in the Garden State. A storyteller and lifelong learner, she strives to bring creativity and compassion from the pages of her writing to the yoga mat.
She is a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT) and certified personal trainer, rooted in the belief that yoga is not just movement, it’s a return to the self. With presence, purpose, and a deep respect for the inner journey, Karisa simply wants you to feel welcome and at ease exactly as you are in class.
Her passion for wellness extends beyond the studio. Her children’s book, Don’t Forget Your Mat!, was featured in BC The Mag for its playful, health-centered message, inspiring young minds to embrace movement and mindfulness from an early age.
True to her Cancerian nature, Karisa finds joy in meaningful connection through her classes, her words, and the cozy rituals of everyday life: cooking with her husband, crafting with her sisters, and taking stroller walks with her pup.
