“Karla has the most generous spirit and creative mind. She guides you to commune with complex topics through an intricate knitting together of narratives, images, sounds, and movement. Generosity and acceptance were touchstones of the experience. I can’t wait to spend more time with Karla and continue learning and growing.”- Emily Trent
“I attended Karlas Humming retreat and it was life changing for me. It reminded me of the things I truly cherished in life. I came away refreshed and full of life. I didn’t know a lot about restorative yoga but am now a big fan of it. I have changed my morning yoga routine to ensure that helping my body into a restful state is top priority.” – Helen Russo
