The classes are open and welcoming to all and Karin is a phenomenal teacher with an astounding depth of knowledge. Have an injury? She can help you understand it and how to practice in a way to heal it. Inflexible? She guides you into poses that you never thought you would be able to do. Skeptical of the touchy feely spiritual stuff? She speaks about it in a way that makes it a balance between science and soul, grounded yet reaching for the stars. Open to it all? She has a well of know how and keeps it flowing, with variety and suprise. On a budget? This is cheap people! $10 a class with discounts for 5 packs, and unlimited monthly available. Have kids? Family yoga on Sunday is a great way to spend time together, my boys are smitten with "Yoga Karin" and have chosen her class over the pool! You are an experienced yogi already? She'll push you hard and teach you more. Many times I wished for a dedicated yoga studio in St. Cloud - but didn't want the yoga as a trend, feels more like a gym type model to be the solution. Karin brought Return Yoga to downtown and my wishes were granted in a way I never could have expected. read more

This is not your average yoga studio, people! I've gone to yoga classes on and off for the last 10 years and I've never experienced anything like Return Yoga. Karin's ability to welcome you into the class, nurture your abilities/confidence and challenge the way you think of yoga (and your body) is remarkable. Her understanding of the mechanics of the body is like nothing I've ever witnessed - she is able to adapt for past injuries, current areas of weakness as well as advise on practices to complement other athletic pursuits (running,cycling, etc). Highly-recommend her strong class for a challenge - both physically and mentally. Highly-recommend her healing/emotional classes for restorative poses, stretching and relaxation. Highly-recommend her family classes for children interested in yoga - my 8 year old loves attending class with me and Karin makes the classes fun for the whole family. As someone who was an infrequent practitioner in the past, to now practicing 6 days a week at Return, I'm clearly an unabashed fan of Return Yoga. You will not be disappointed. read more

Lots of instructors can help get you into difficult poses, enhancing your strength, flexibility, and focus. What sets Return Yoga apart is the wisdom, humility, humor, and compassion director Karin Burke brings to the practice. Karin possesses a depth of technical and philosophical knowledge that seems at times to be endless. More importantly, she genuinely loves, respects, and accepts her students as they are, where they are - and in doing so creates an environment where students begin to love and accept themselves as well. I've had the honor to experience a variety of different styles, philosophies, and instructors over the course of my practice thus far. Return Yoga, to me, is in a league of its own. read more

Hands down the best yoga studio around. It is very welcoming and caters to all skill levels! Karin is always willing to give extra instruction for new students or answer any questions. I love that she focuses on not just the physical aspect of yoga, but also the mental and emotional. My yoga practice has become a very regular and important part of my life and I give karen much of the credit because her classes are fantastically amazing (and this is an understatement). read more

I have always been afraid to try yoga as I am a very uncoordinated person but when my friend told me about this class I thought I would try. Well I loved it. I may not get all the positions right but I do not feel judged by the other participants and our instructor Karin. What you get from this class is a good feeling inside and out. Karin is wonderful and passionate in what she does. read more
