As a teenager, Carla spontaneously started developing her own way of stretching to unwind the tension in her body & mind, leading to formal yoga studies starting at age16. Since then, she has studied a wide variety of styles in the US and India, including Ananda, Anusara,  Ayuryoga, Bihar, Bikram, Integral, Iyengar, Kripalu, Kundalini, Power, Sivananda, Shadow, Svaroopa, TriYoga, Viniyoga, Yin, Yin Yang, Yoga of the Heart, Integrative Yoga Therapy, and Yoga Meets Dance. Carla loves to incorporate precious insights from all yoga traditions into her classes; like the many petals of a lotus flower, all lineages united form the depth and breadth of yoga. As TKV Desikachar insists – “It’s all yoga!” To Carla this parallels being open to, and learning from all peoples and cultures of the world. Carla credits yoga for transforming once painfully limiting conditions into a rich and full life. Carla invites you and your friends to come explore yoga for holistic health, healing & prevention with her! 

Carla is a Registered Yoga Teacher (500+ hour level), and has completed 8 Yoga Teacher Certifications.
