Karla Brodie

Karla is an experienced and qualified yoga teacher. She is inspired to share the practice and philosophy of yoga in a simple, joyful, self renewing way. Her practical and intuitive approach leads students toward a deeper experiential understanding of breath, balanced posture and integrated movement.

Karla specializes in restorative yoga, a deeply nourishing and balancing practice for the whole body and in particular the nervous system. She effectively works with students unwinding from high stress, fatigue and hyperventilation.

The foundation of Karla’s teaching is within the human developmental movement patterns. Embodying these self renewing patterns restores effortless breathing, ease, fluidity and cohesion in movement. Karla’s teachings, interwoven with the traditional and eternally relevant eight limbs of yoga, offer a holistic approach to the practice of yoga.

We return to our original state, one of content, equanimity and wholeness, interconnected to all of life.

 

Through consistent practice of yoga we may experience our life with ease and grace, and throughout difficulty feel well resourced to survive and accept any challenges free of fear.
