Lester Karplus
RYT 500

Lester Karplus is a certified 500 RYT and YACEP with Yoga Alliance and has been teaching yoga since 2013.

Lester began his spiritual journey in the mid-’70s, adopting a regular meditation practice. Desiring to balance with the physical and work through some back problems, he added a yoga practice in the early 2000s. Wanting to deepen the practice more, Lester completed the Yoga World Reach teacher training in 2013. Along with studying many aspects of yoga, he has also been certified to teach Principle-Based Partner Yoga and has been certified to teach yoga to youth at risk.

Lester’s training in Western philosophy and psychology, combined with zen meditation and traditional schools of yoga, brings a unique mix to his teaching style. His desire is to bring traditional values and benefits of yoga to each practice, combining asana, pranayama, and meditation geared to the needs of each student.
