Karla is one of our Lead Trainers, and her main professional background derives long years of experience in Vinyasa and Ashtanga Yoga, Meditation, Transpersonal Psychotherapy and other alternative therapies. In 2010 she felt the call to start teaching Yoga. For six months Karla studied the philosophy and practice of Yoga comprising the studies of Hatha, Vinyasa and Kundalini Yoga. Her first Yoga Teacher Training was such a profound experience that it set the foundation for everything that was to come. She dedicated her life to the study, practice and teachings of Yoga. She follows the process of self-inquiry as taught by Ramana Maharshi.

In 2012, due to the inspiration of Shiva Rea’s Prana Yoga Vinyasas, she felt the inclination to study and practice Vinyasa Flow. Following this call from within, Karla started studying and practicing Ashtanga Yoga as taught by the tradition of Pattabhi Jois, and completed her Ashtanga Yoga Teacher Training in 2015. Over the years, Karla has received teachings from Sharmila Desai, Dylan Werner, Shiva Rea, Rob Lucas, Tomás Zorzo, among others. In 2011 she founded her own yoga schools, Ananda Yoga Tenerife, and Ashtanga Yoga Mysore Tenerife, where she were working until 2021.
