Hi, I’m Karyn

I've been bringing people together in health and wellness for a long time. I discovered yoga in 1994 during a round- the-world adventure and I've been teaching movement, breath, and presence ever since.

For the people who know my work through cold, it may come as a surprise that I was a firekeeper first! I love a good fire and I’ve been chopping wood and making fires for many years. And when I stepped into my first ice bath back in 2021, I knew I had found the yin to my yang.

I am a certified advanced Wim Hof Method instructor, and I’ve led community cold plunges into the Salish Sea for the last 4 years.

We have come to realize that what’s missing in our lives isn’t more stuff. It’s more time together, in nature, enjoying experiences that make our hearts sing and our bodies feel alive. Bringing people together in health, wellness and connection is what I love to do.

Seaside Sauna is the next chapter in my journey — an open-air sauna sanctuary for the people of Port Townsend who want to live well.

The fire is on, and the elements are here. Come sweat, soften, and feel alive in this wild nature we call home.
