Kahlena Movement Studio

Kahlena Movement is a fantastic local studio that offers not only a great variety of classes but an immediate sense of community. Karen’s energy is contagious and you can’t help but feel stronger and happier by the end of class. I have done prenatal yoga and dance classes in studio as well as Pilates Mat and yoga classes online. All of the teachers have been top notch. I highly recommend Kahlena!

I love Karen's dance classes! She always gives a delicious warm-up which stretches and tones every muscle of your body. Her warm-up includes Simonson Jazz technique and movement and a generous mat session which makes your body warm and ready to dance. She is prepared with choreography and doesn't waste any time teaching it, practicing it and having the class perform it by the end of each class. Karen is inclusive ensuring everyone in her class is comfortable with the pace while encouraging them to stretch beyond. Karen herself is a beautiful dancer with a beautiful soul which makes her classes even more enjoyable to attend. I leave dance class feeling blissful and with a buttery worked-out feeling. I highly recommend Karen's dance classes.

I consider myself very grateful to have this studio close to my home. I started going to Kahlena Studio many months ago when Karen Nobel (the owner first took over). The classes are all amazing, i particularily love the pilates, Karen and her team are very knowledgeable and diverse in their classes. I have a back issue and Karen always makes sure I doing each movement properly. I highly recommend this studio, its warm vibe, amazing instructors and great classes. five tars from me!

Karen Kobel runs the best Pilates studio . The classes are fun , challenging and individual . She holds quite a few community events. Also worth noting is the variety of kids dance and yoga classes . Definitely worth getting a class pass.

Welcoming, friendly atmosphere in the studio right from when you arrive. You can really tell there's a sense of community. Great for all levels. I really love Karen's pilates classes, can't recommend Kahlena enough!

Kahlena Movement Studio has been my sanctuary for the last 2 years. Doing Pilates with Karen was the highlight of my week. Miss the studio so much. Karen is an awesome Pilates teacher but the class is a community of non judgemental people of all abilities. We laugh, empathize and connect whilst strengthening our bodies and spirits. As an overweight mom with 2 kids I always feel welcomed, encouraged and supported. This place is the real deal.

My kids love going to dance here. Fun class that I recommend to friends often. Karen is great with them and always easy going.

This is the studio North Vancouver needed. There are a classes for all levels! Come as you are and you will feel supported. I started taking prenatal yoga, now take postnatal pilates and my toddler joins me for parent & tot yoga. I had never done pilates prior to joining the postnatal class, and it has been very accessible and not at all intimidating. Classes sizes are small-medium and allow for the instructors to give you the care and attention you can't get at huge studios. The owner, Karen, is a genuinely warm human being and it shows in the operation of her studio.

Great studio - both the physical studio which is light and airy with lovely views of the mountain, and the overall vibe of the studio. Aya does a fantastic yogalates (yoga and pilates) class both in studio and online. Always thoughtful, interesting and different classes each week. Karen is great and her communication around the classes is always fantastic.
