Karla has been teaching in the Erie, PA and surrounding communities since 2013 after completing Yoga Teacher Training with Satya Yoga. Since then, she has completed various trainings and certificates, including restorative yoga, meditation, and more recently, RAGE Yoga. She is currently working on her 300-hour training to become an E-RYT 500.

Karla additionally holds a Masters in Humanistic Psychology, and has taught yoga in many settings including various mental health and drug & alcohol organizations, school-based programs, and summer camp settings for youth. She has also taught at several fitness centers and yoga studios throughout the years. Presently, she teaches at Ascend Erie and at a local corporation in downtown Erie.

Her guiding philosophy is that yoga is for EVERYBODY and she promotes an inclusive approach to coming to the mat. She brings fun/funky and lo-fi music playlists as well as a lot of humor to her classes (normal adult life is too serious, after all!)
