Karin Charuz's yoga journey started with a meditation class while she was serving in the Israeli military. In 2000, upon her release from military, Charuz travelled to New York City, a place she visited and fell in love with as a teenager. There, she started taking yoga classes and was amazed at how her body transformed — once so inflexible she was thrown out of ballet school, she was now binding her arms behind her back. But teaching yoga classes forced her to project her voice, strengthening it and boosting her confidence in her public speaking abilities, she said. “She really was the catalyst that brought me back to life,” Charness said.
