Born in North Vancouver, Carly recently returned to Canada after spending 10 years in Spain, where she lived and taught yoga. Her journey into yoga began over 12 years ago in Dharamsala, India, where she completed her first teacher training in Hatha yoga. Since then, she has expanded her practice and knowledge through training in Kundalini, Ashtanga, and, most recently, a three-year program with the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) to become a certified Yoga Therapist.
Throughout her practicum, Carly worked with students facing a variety of health challenges, including fibromyalgia, IBS, hypertension, hypothyroidism, women’s health issues, Parkinson’s disease, and more. With a trauma-informed teaching style, she takes a compassionate and empathetic approach, listening closely to her students and tailoring her practice to meet their unique needs. Carly strongly believes in a holistic, collaborative approach to healing, working alongside other practitioners and, most importantly, empowering her students to take an active role in their own well-being.
In addition to her yoga training, Carly holds a BA in Psychology from UBC and a Holistic Nutrition Certification from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition (CSNN).
Outside of the clinic, Carly is an avid nature lover who enjoys hiking, biking, and swimming with her dog, Mukta.
