Karli is a 500hr qualified yoga teacher with over 8 years experience
She was born and raised in the desert in Western Australia, on Wangkatha Country. Her grandparents migrated to Australia in the1950’s, linking her ancestry to Italian, Croatian & Irish heritage. Australia is her natural habitat, the sun, the saltwater, the bush; however European blood flows through her veins.
Karli has lived in Australia, New York, Cambodia, Myanmar and now Amsterdam. During moments of transition & the ongoing ride to find home, her meditation teacher would always say “home is in the heart, home is here and now, be simple, be home”
Her yoga practice helps her to find home, in the body, in the breath, wherever she lands.
She completed her first 200hr Yoga Training in Nicaragua in 2015 and has since completed another 500hr qualification with One Movement in 2022.
Her teaching style is warm, compassionate & supportive. She adapts to meet students where they are. She teaches a strong, passionate flow, moving with the breath and a good beat, & guides a soft, restful, heartfelt, restorative practice.
She approaches yoga from a a physiological and psychological perspective. Exploring effort & ease in stillness & movement, & uses the magic of music to evoke more depth & emotional connection.
Since she began her yoga teaching journey, she continues to bounce between two worlds. Teaching Yoga in Amsterdam, and working with Indigenous Communities in the remote north of Western Australia. This has taught her a deep appreciation for humility, the value of changing stimulus, & ultimately that Yoga is not about the physical practice of asana, but about how we participate in the world, how we serve & connect with others & how we find balance & equanimity in our daily life.
