About

Lizzie Co-Founder

We’re sisters Karen and Lizzie and we are Pure Pony Yoga.

We founded Pure Pony Yoga in 2021, combining two of our passions – practicing yoga and the Jersey shore.

Let’s practice together this summer, saluting the sun, and our amazing bodies that give us the strength to bend in all life’s headwinds and gentle breezes. Be strong, be you!

Karen Co-Founder

Karen Hepp has been practicing Yoga for more than 30 years. She teaches an alignment based mixed level vinyasa class for everybody and every body.

She got into Yoga in her teens- and now it’s her healthy antidote to a busy life with 3 sports obsessed boys, a tri-athlete husband and an ornery rescue dog.

Her classes are moving meditation, inhaling calm and inspiration, exhaling stress and tension, building strength and stamina.

When not teaching yoga in Stone Harbor, Karen is a local morning news anchor in Philadelphia.

Lizzie Co-founder

Lizzie has been practicing yoga for over 20 years. She is committed to using business as a force for good. When not practicing yoga, Lizzie is a corporate lawyer in Philadelphia and works with many start ups and Benefit Corporations.

She’s a proud mama to her young son, and cantankerous chihuahua, who she parents with her doting husband a fellow lawyer/yogi/runner
