“What is yoga?
... if not a beautiful unwinding process of the body in ways in which you begin to uncover yourself and clear yourself out to find more & more of who and what you are.”

YOGA with KARLA
We're interconnected with Mother Nature and we can more powerfully keep in tune with ourselves by attuning to her seasonal rhythms. Release & receive in this delightful evening class where we fuse longer held yin postures with breathwork, core connection and energy practices to listen deep, return to center, and build inner resources to navigate all of life's transitions. Together we explore powerful tools to help us cultivate resilience, while remembering we are inherently whole and there's never anything "wrong" with you or your life. You’ll find gentle movement, core connection practices to feel strong in center, stillness, powerful breathing techniques, guided meditation, energetic play, and silent pauses in this class. |
Thank you for choosing YOU.

Let's root, rise, and discover center together.
My aim is to facilitate a space and practice that will help you know yourself and access your own inner wisdom to be present in, and with, your own life experiences--no matter what. We cultivate resilience and remember our inherent wholeness.
I’ve had some life experience (like we all have) and we all can hold the memories and unprocessed emotions of those experiences in our bodies. And our bodies speak to us all the time, through whispers and sometimes shouts, telling us where, when we might need attention. Usually, that doesn’t feel so great and we can have a tendency to judge ourselves or circumstances. We make ourselves feel wrong and the bottom truth is....there's nothing wrong with you...or me. We have forgotten and our bodies want to take us back to the truth, the wisdom, the wholeness within.
Yoga has gifted so much to me over the years of practice and teaching and it is my honor and delight to share practices that have the capacity to liberate body, mind, and soul with with others.
We return to some basics to feel rooted, rested, and strong, yet soft and fluid through all of life's transitions.
- Breathwork
- Core connection and activation
- Movement to release stored energy and emotion
- Stillness in longer held postures
- Deep Listening
- Dynamic questions to receive your own wisdom and release limiting patterns and beliefs
“We shake with joy, we shake with grief. What a time they have, these two housed as they are in the same body.”

YOGA MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE AT. Here's how I met Yin Yoga...
|
I discovered Yin Yoga by accident, or perhaps it discovered me in just the right moment.
After we grew our family from 3 to-5 through adoption, sleep was a challenge in our home. At the end of a day my body and spirit ached. To help my daughters settle and support their nervous systems, I stayed in the room on the floor quietly taking yoga poses. I found that just settling into stillness and exploring the pose deeper was delightful for me and seemed to really calm my kids as they listened to my breath. Later that year, I went to a yoga conference and signed up for a workshop...and realized there was a name for what I had been using to help us all sleep and release tension. How does it get any better than that? Here are my favorite 3 yin poses before bed and a sample from a June Yin series. The class targets hips, pelvis, and low back with a psoas release focus. |
