Meet our instructors!

  As Principal Flutist with the Indianapolis Symphony, Karen Evans Moratz is well-acquainted with the benefits of linking breath and movement and has embraced yoga as the continuation of that journey. She has been teaching at Butler University as Artist in Residence since 1989. Through her flute teaching, she has explored breathing techniques, body alignment, and the Alexander Technique, confirming to herself time and again that the body itself is our primary instrument. She discovered yoga in 1995 and completed her 200 hour certification from Cityoga in 2013. Since then , she has taught hundreds of yoga classes at studios, fitness centers, schools, and corporate venues in the Indianapolis area.  

A professional singer and university professor,  Thaddaeus was introduced to yoga while studying music in college. He began practicing regularly in 2015 at The Yoga Studio, Indianapolis, seeking flexibility for and recovery from the physical rigors of operatic performance which requires, among other things,  physical strength, endurance, breath control, mental focus and  stress management. He found that the benefits of yoga extend far beyond the confines of the studio.  Thaddaeus completed the teacher training program at the Yoga and Ayurveda Center in 2020 .

He is passionate about sharing his love for the practice and helping others find the yoga that best serves them.
