About me
Hi, I’m Karen Eliza—an artist, somatic practitioner, spatial designer, and Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). My work draws from the fields of movement, design, visual art, and presence.
As a former Contemporary dancer, I spent 14 vibrant years performing, teaching, and choreographing in New York City and Berlin. My pedagogical background includes teaching dance improvisation at the university-level, and working as a personal fitness instructor.
Through my own path of healing over the past 20 years, I have cultivated a daily ritual of meditation and movement improvisation. My somatic approach is based in studies in a two-year meditation teacher training in New York City, many movement workshops in Europe, a presence teacher program led by Eckhart Tolle and Kim Eng, and my own lived journey.
Recently I expanded my design knowledge with a degree in Interior Design.
For many years, I have found inspiration in nature, visual art, music, and journaling—as well as learning from cultures around the world, experimenting with vegetarian cooking, and embodiment.
“Embodiment is not only about exercising or being in shape. It’s a practice of self attunement, of being present in your body and learning to trust your own body’s wisdom as a kind of inner compass. ”
