Carla's love for movement, subtlety, and self discovery along with her combined experience as a professional modern dancer and studies in Body Mind Centering makes for a unique approach to yoga as a somatic practice that is both deep and informative. Her personal practice and teaching are inspired by the movement that occurs between the shapes, the 3 dimensionality of the poses themselves, and becoming more and more skillful about aligning intention, attention and action while on the mat and in life. Discovering the body's natural intelligence play a big role in her teaching as well as her passion for embryology, developmental movement, embodied anatomy, Ayurveda, and mindfulness. 

In 2004 Carla graduated from the OM Yoga 200 hour teacher training program in NYC where she also pursued a dance career from 1991 to 2005. Carla then moved to her hometown of Dallas, TX where for the last 17 years she has taught yoga classes, workshops, teacher training programs, and one on one sessions. As of 2011 she is a graduate of the Embodied Developmental Movement & Yoga program from the School Of Body Mind Centering.
