About
Hi, I’m Karli and I teach yoga classes and workshops around the Penzance and west Cornwall area and occasional classes in Spain and Switzerland, where I spend my summer weeks.
I work with a broad range of people including sports enthusiasts, mental health patients and people suffering with ailments such as painful backs, necks and shoulders, anxiety, insomnia and depression – I work both with groups, in a class setting, and with individual clients from my home studio.
I was first introduced to yoga at the age of 18. My first few years where spent dipping in and out of a weekly class, however, it has been the past 15 years that my practice has become regular, more a way of life.
After suffering from Reactive Arthritis in both of my knees as a teenager; I was unable to walk unassisted for several months.
Seeking relief from my ailment, I was introduced to the physical benefits of yoga.
Yoga helped strengthen and improve flexibility around my knee joints, as well as other joints of the body. Practising yoga allowed my body to embark on a repair and healing process that has restored me to full health both mentally and physically.
I firmly believe that I am arthritis free today because of yoga. Over 25 years on the disease hasn’t returned.
The doctor’s prognosis was that the arthritis could come back when pregnant (bearing weight) or as I matured.
Since my recovery, I’ve gone on to have two gorgeous sons and I’m getting older every day – my knees feel stronger than ever.
On a more mental, emotional and spiritual level, my practice of yoga has allowed me to become the best version of myself.
[/cmsms_text][/cmsms_column] Just a few minutes on my yoga mat allows me to feel much more balanced in my daily life – physically, mentally and spiritually. This is why I love sharing yoga as a self help tool to life’s challenges so much. My teaching method is sharing some of the many tools I have acquired through extensive ongoing somatic trainings over the years, plus, what I’ve found most useful for myself and others that I have had the privilege of working alongside – intuitively modifying and offering variations on pace and depth accordingly. I am particularly passionate about guiding my clients towards their true potential in becoming who they are truly meant to be in the world. My work focuses on the integration of the body and the mind. My nature/personality enjoys lots of playfulness, on and off the mat! I enjoy injecting some fun time into each group class, so a little humour, whilst respecting yoga’s authenticity, is very important. For me its also important not to take myself too seriously, whilst still totally honouring the work I share.
I look forward to sharing my love and passion of yoga with some of you in the future. In the meantime, what are you waiting for? Go out and find a yoga teacher whose style, personality and approach resonates with you. There is honestly a teacher and a style of yoga out there for everyone. You wont regret it… If you do, I will give you your money back 😉 Light. love and laughter Kx
I walk away from a practice of breath exercises, movement and meditation with a sense of bliss, strength and focus, feeling that anything is possible – who can ask for more than that?Each karliyoga Hatha/Vinyasa session offers a variety of:
