Welcome
I'm Karrie Zylstra Myton, an artist, writer, and yogini. I've always been these things but I didn't always know it.
My clients are often over 50 or shining old souls still in their younger years.
We love art, words, yoga and the deep magic woven into all three.

Art
Never thought I was an artist
My mother Sydney was an amazing visual artist who took photos like the one here.
Because I couldn't create artwork like she did from the start, I didn't think art was for me. Then I discovered that art was my best way through heartache and now I can't imagine life without it. The art found me and saved me. I'd love to help it find you, too.
Words
Forever reading and writing
My first memories are of words and their magic. I have always loved stories and wanted to write them in every language.
​
I majored in German and earned a Masters Degree in Education to teach English to those who speak other languages. I traveled to several countries and for a long time I taught English to people from the U.S. and around the world. I've found a meaningful daily practice of writing my gratitude with a close friend over the years.
Most recently I began working at L'Arche Tahoma Hope. At this non-profit I use both the art of images and my words in communications and development work as well as the accessible yoga that I offer there.
I have experienced great healing with words and I have a a deep faith in their ability to heal you too.
Yoga
Like dancing but so much more
When I was a teenager, I wanted to be a dancer. My mom took me to a book store around this time to look for dance books, but the closest thing we could find was a beautifully photographed book by Rachel Welch on yoga. I've been doing poses ever since and have loved the chance to offer yoga instruction.
Each year, I grow more amazed at the depth of yoga beyond the shapes we make with our bodies. I hope you, too, can look beyond the glorious Raquel and the fur bikini she once wore.
