About UbU Yoga & Fitness, LLC

Karen Cutrona is the founder and Director of UbU Yoga & Fitness LLC, a traveling Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance. She offers yoga classes 200-hour YTT, Advanced 300-hour YTT, and YACEP workshops for credentialed yoga teachers and clients.

Because Karen's YTT programs maintain small student/trainer ratios, they are tailored to meet the unique needs and goals of her students. Some enter training to deepen their personal practice, some to offer yoga classes at studios, schools, and to the community; some to more fully understand the mind, body, spirit connection yoga promotes... Along with learning to become an empowering yoga teacher, Karen hopes that her YTT programs will have a lifelong impact on the well being of her students beyond the mat.

UbU Yoga & Fitness evolved from Karen's ongoing passion for yoga teaching and training. Karen founded Blue Moon Yoga & Fitness, Inc. in Ormond Beach, FL in 2009 and owned and operated this large community yoga studio until 2013 when life inspired her to return to the Midwest.

Karen is known for creating unique body-sculpting yoga classes and creative vinyasa flow sequences. She embraces Kripalu (Eastern) and Power Yoga (Western) traditions from her rich training background and applies the theory of "challenge and ease" to all yoga class varieties. Karen's training style is fun, passionate, and focused on you becoming a better you by strengthening the body through asana practice, challenging the mind through yoga methodology, and growing the spirit of her trainees by tapping into their wellspring for life. This, in turn, fuels the trainee's ability to guide challenging, engaging, and inspiring yoga classes.

My time training with Karen at UbU Yoga & Fitness was more than just training to be a yoga instructor. It was a journey of self discovery, healing, and empowerment. Karen shares yoga from her heart, with her entire soul — and it changed my life. I am deeply grateful to have had the experience of being her student. I can only hope to share what she has taught me with the same presence and passion that she dedicated to my learning.

UBU Yoga & Fitness – A Transformational Journey with an Exceptional Teacher Trainer I completed both my 200-hour and 300-hour RYT trainings with Karen Cutrona through UBU Yoga & Fitness, and the experience has been nothing short of transformational. My recent 300-hour program was a one-on-one mentorship with Karen, and it was one of the most meaningful chapters of my yoga journey. Karen’s depth of knowledge, intuition, and authenticity created a truly personalized learning experience. She met me exactly where I was — both as a teacher and as a human — and guided me toward a deeper understanding of yoga as a living practice. Her thoughtful approach seamlessly weaves together philosophy, anatomy, teaching methodology, and self-inquiry in a way that’s both intellectually rich and emotionally grounding. Karen's UBU Yoga & Fitness RYT program is so much more than a yoga school; it’s a journey of growth, curiosity, and empowerment. Karen’s mentorship has helped me refine not only my teaching but also my way of showing up in the world — with greater awareness, compassion, and confidence. I am profoundly grateful for Karen and the heart she pours into every student. If you’re looking for a training that feels personal, challenging, and deeply supportive, Karen's UBU Yoga RYT training programs are a rare find - don't think twice, just get started and begin your transformation today. — Sarah W
