Online: Ashtanga Inspired Flow

Carla started practicing yoga in 2002 in her hometown of Santiago, Chile, as a way of finding balance in her life as a busy architecture student. She had always been passionate about movement, having years of experience in ballet and once she had started exploring yoga, the practice has always accompanied her. In 2008, after working as an industrial designer for several years, she left Chile to discover a new path. She saw how yoga had helped to overcome many of life's difficulties, including her own personal hardships; It had healed her, and had given an inner strength and focus. She now felt a strong desire to share her knowledge and to show others the benefits of regular practice. She has had the opportunity to learn in different cultures and with teachers that enriched her practice, while igniting an interest in philosophy, anatomy and meditation. She did her first TT at Samahita Retreat in Thailand and constantly continues to enhance her practice and teaching by regularly attending TT and workshops with teachers such as Michael Hamilton, John Scott, Dough Keller, Stephen Thomas, and Francoise Freedman etc. Nowadays, her main practice and sources of inspiration for her classes are Ashtanga yoga, Vipassana and yoga Nidra. She is also a certified prenatal and postnatal teacher and having been through a bicycle accident herself, she understands even more now the importance of adapting the practice for different moments and possibilities of movement. In her classes, she focuses on exploring while keeping the practice safe, finding healthy alignment in synchronicity with breathing. She encourages finding the strength from a place within rather than from using force, respecting each body as unique and perfect.
