Karen

karenAfter ten years of working in software development, Karen found her personal yoga practice taking an increasingly important role in her life.

In the spring of 2009, she made a major life transition and left the technology company she co-founded. Soon the opportunity to combine her passion for yoga with her business background arose, and Karen became co-owner of Newport Yoga.

Luckily, she still develops websites at the same time.

Chris

chris-300x225Since April, Chris has been living in a beautiful little city called Port Moody, not too far from Vancouver. For 23 years prior he lived in the land of Kilts, Bagpipes and the Loch Ness Monster (Scotland).

In 2005, he formally studied it at Glasgow Caledonian University, where he received a BSc in Multimedia Technology. Chris has been involved with web design in some way or another for around 10 years now, and he still loves the buzz when turning a client’s rough idea into a tangeable, useable solution.

Chris is a bit of a perfectionist and likes to make things look pretty. He’s constantly learning and looking for ways to improve.
