Meet your instructor

Hi! I’m Kara Shair-Rosenfield.

I’m a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200) with additional training in chair yoga, oncology yoga, teaching beginners, and yoga for athletes. I’m on a mission to share yoga with as many people as possible. This wasn’t always my goal.

When I went to Yoga School in 2024, I was a full-time practicing attorney, raising three teenagers with my firefighter husband, helping care for aging family members, including an aunt living with Alzheimer’s Disease.

I did not go to Yoga School to become a yoga teacher. I went to Yoga School to deepen my own practice and find ways to better manage day-to-day stress (as well as longstanding anxiety disorders), attain greater happiness, and generally become a functioning human being again. I achieved those objectives and so much more.

Having personally experienced the deeply transformative and empowering effects of a comprehensive yoga practice—and after a chance opportunity to teach chair yoga at a number of senior communities in Albuquerque—I became inspired to share what I’ve learned because, truthfully, it felt selfish to keep the benefits to myself. And, so, Shair Yoga was born.

I would love to share yoga with you, whether you are 10 or 110, can touch your toes or your nose, are cool as a cucumber or stressed to the max, are college-bound or wheelchair-bound.

My goal is to help you discover—and sustain—a stronger, healthier, happier you, whatever that feels and looks like to you.
