Teaching yoga is my passion and I love being able to share this holistic practice with everyone. My interest and journey with yoga is in the union of the mind, body, and spirit, which my classes emphasise and reflect. I've trained with the Sivananda Ashram where yoga and meditation is still taught in a very traditional style. My classes reflect this tradition and are sequenced in a classical style, with a focus on mindfulness, physical wellbeing, and inner peace.

“My Yin specialist training (50 hours Yoga International) was with the highly acclaimed Bernie Clark and Diana Batts. I love teaching Yin and seeing students discover the physical and mental benefits – working deep into the facial networks and joints of the body, tissues which become stiff and inflexible as we age or through sedentary living. In my Yin classes I draw people to the spiritual and mental benefits of the meditative state we achieve during poses, helping reduce stress and anxiety in our day-to-day and improving our well-being, calm and mindfulness. “I am also a Vinyasa and hot yoga teacher (200 hours Yoga Alliance), a Reiki practitioner and am currently writing a book, ‘Grief-Soothing Yoga’.”

Carina's yoga journey began at the Yoga Lounge when it first opened back in 2012. Little did she know that this would become the start of something that has compelled her ever since.

Her own practice has taken her to retreats and workshops around the world and she’s had the pleasure of multiple month long trips to Mysore in India. The latter developing her own practice under the teachings of Ajay Kumar and Vinay Kumar.

From her acclaimed Restorative Reset class to her creative vinyasa flows, Carina’s uplifting classes take students of all levels on a creative journey exploring the use of body, mind and breath.
