I always wanted to try Yoga. But since I had the wrong impression that Yoga was done so early in the morning, I was never able to bring myself to wake up and attend Yoga class. During that time, I was struggling with insomnia, so sleeping late and waking up early was such a task just to try Yoga. It took me year to finally bring myself to attend an Ashtanga Yoga class. And it wasn’t even in the morning! Once the class ended I instantly fell in love with the practice and knew, from then on that Yoga would be a major part of my life. I finished my Basic Teacher Training Course with Yoga Philippines and I am very excited and grateful to be able to share the gift of Yoga with anyone interested. - Bree.
When Carla finds something she loves, she makes it an integral part of her life. Free-spirited and lover of life, this freelance architect soothes up to the art of Ashtanga Yoga not because of its current popularity but because of the life-changing benefits she derives from it. Although she’s still new to the practice of Ashtanga Yoga, Yoga has naturally seeped into her system as she continuously discovers her body’s natural potential and strength. A surfer at heart, Carla found this art as a perfect complement to empowering her physical core, mental focus, emotional strength and spiritual reflectiveness. She has recently completed Basic Teacher Training under Yoga Philippines, and every day since then, she looks forward to sharing with others the calmness and joy she has found through Yoga.
