Carla is a Westchester, NY native who got her start in yoga studio management. Through being surrounded by yoga all day long, she finally caught the bug and began strengthening her own practice. After falling away from the mat for some time, she was brought to tears upon the return to her practice-she knew there was something more to this.

With her combination of experience and the knowledge she gains on the mat daily, she hopes to help her students find calm in the chaos.

What is a rooted Soul?

The mission of my work is to bring students back to a grounded state. Through a mindful practice we can heighten our awareness of our mind, body, and soul connection and tap into the benefits of being rooted. The goal of this practice, however, is not to become rigidly tied down. As we root, we continue to rise towards the infinite skies above - filled with wonder, curiosity, and hope. I dream of a world full of rooted souls.

Symbolized by a white birch tree – white birch trees are rooted in ancient wisdom and seen as signs of renewal and hope. These “Goddesses of the Forest” are the ultimate rooted soul.
