Karuna Lo Abe

Setter. Rec Coach. Socials. Yogi. Cave Gremlin
Karuna has been teaching yoga for over a decade. She’s more yang than she is yin. In K’s classes- expect intense yoga tailored to climbers.

Karuna began routesetting in college and finds joy in designing techy, powerful sequences that challenge the mind and inspire joyous movement. You’ll see her routes inspired by her love of climbing outside and her gymnastics background. She really loves being at the gym, just ask her. Karuna’s “pack” includes three dogs (Kubo, Grigri, and T-nut) and 6 cats (Sigmund Freud and Martin Heidegger, Cat, Teto, Nausicaa and Jane).

She climbed out of her crib before she could walk, and to her parents dismay (and joy) hasn’t stopped since. When she’s not on the wall, you’ll likely find her running, eating meat, or blasting rap music.
