Paul Riddy jointly founded Karuna Yoga School (KYS) in the early 1990's to form an umbrella for teaching and for other yoga related activities. At that point the school had a physical base, which has since evolved into organised collaboration between teachers who have much in common in their practice and teaching of yoga. Within Southampton these are focussed around a teaching practice offering individual lessons, small group classes, and classes with a special focus eg pregnancy. Following the viniyoga of yoga, KYS tutors are committed to teaching others how to use yoga in a way which will support their day-to-day lives and future aspirations.
