Yoga, originating in ancient India, is not merely a physical practice, but a holistic approach to well-being. It weaves together breath, movement, and mindfulness to cultivate a harmonious connection between mind, body, and spirit. This profound practice serves as a transformative tool for healing, enabling individuals to navigate life's challenges with resilience, find inner balance, and embark on a journey of self-discovery.

My Approach
My teaching philosophy is rooted in creating a safe, nurturing space for all individuals to explore and embrace their unique paths. I blend traditional yogic principles with modern insights to craft transformative experiences that cater to diverse needs and backgrounds. Through yoga, meditation, breathwork, and sound healing, I facilitate deep self-discovery, empowering participants to access their inner wisdom and intuition.
As a yoga instructor, sound healer, and world traveler, my diverse experiences allow me to connect with people from different cultures and walks of life. I embrace inclusivity, recognizing that yoga is a universal practice that can be adapted to suit individual journeys. My teachings focus on cultivating mindfulness, self-awareness, and authenticity, empowering individuals to embrace the flow of life with grace and purpose.

Whether for workshops, classes, or retreats, my intention is to provide a seamless progression of programs that ignite inner wisdom, empower self-discovery, and embrace the transformative power of yoga.
As we connect with the profound wisdom of nature and the depths of our own being, let's infuse our lives with grace, purpose, and the magic of the "Pura Vida" spirit. I am excited to explore potential opportunities, collaborate, and share the transformative magic of yoga with your community. Together, let's create a sanctuary of growth and connection, fostering an empowered and authentic way of life for all.
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”

Manar othman
Karlie gave me clear, detailed, and easy instructions on how to do each asana we practiced. That helped me become truly connected with an asana and get the atmost benefits out of our practice. she was also very good at making the practice flow and progress as we went. To put it in simple word; practicing yoga with Karlie felt whole and effective. Other than that, she's truly passionate and insightful when she talks about yoga. This is the type of instructor you'd wanna practice with.

Description goes hereI had the pleasure of attending one of Karlie’s Vinyasa classes. I’m a beginner at yoga and appreciated that she encouraged us to go at our own pace. She included a variety of positions for the beginners and those who are looking to challenge themselves. Her voice is very calming and the workout helped me to release all of the negative energy from the day. Thank you Karlie!
