Wellness with Karla
 

Movement has always been my language. I joined a swim team at two and started dancing at three, continuing through college. But my "breakup" with ballet was a difficult one; looking back, I realize I was in a deeply disconnected relationship with myself at the time.

In 2009, I moved to NYC for a career in Fashion PR, only to find myself in that same cycle of disconnection. Everything changed in 2010 when I found yoga. Seeking to add color to a life that felt increasingly gray, I enrolled in a 200-hour YogaWorks Teacher Training. For the first time, I was pursuing something I loved without being fixated on the outcome. This was the shift that changed everything.

I leaned into that momentum, completing my 300-hour Advanced Training and later a 100-hour certification with Rodney Yee and Colleen Saidman Yee, who remain my teachers today. In 2013, I co-founded SYNCSTUDIO in Williamsburg—a vibrant community built around cycling, yoga, and strength.

We closed SYNCSTUDIO after seven beautiful years, just one week before the pandemic in 2020. During those final years at the studio, I had discovered the transformative power in the method of The Class. Feeling the call toward this practice, I completed their intensive training and joined their teaching community in 2019. Today, I teach group sessions at The Class and work privately with individuals and businesses across NYC, helping others find the same healing connection to movement.
