This month we're delighted to shine the Spotlight on Karen Radley (MO#235, and past co-op Board Member), as we shower her with gratitude for leading yesterday's deeply grounding and inspiring Slow Flow Yoga Co-op Fundraiser.

Karen can be found most days on the mat or in the chair teaching a yoga class. She became a teacher 10 years ago after experiencing the life altering benefits of yoga. Regardless of the type of yoga she’s teaching, all her classes focus on the connection of mind, body, and spirit as a path to overall well-being. Karen currently offers classes at Inner Bliss, Armory Studios NY, and the continuing education program through Schenectady City School District. 

1.What do you like about being part of the co-op community? 

I like being part of a grassroots organization that has a positive impact on our local community. I appreciate the opportunity to participate along with my neighbors, friends, and colleagues. 

2.What will having a downtown grocery mean to you?

It will be so nice to have convenient access to healthy food close to my home as well as close to many of the places where I teach.  

3. What do you love about Schenectady?

I love the history and diversity of Schenectady. Its smaller size as a city is conducive to getting involved, allowing residents to connect and organizations to support each other.
