KIND WORDS

„Carla’s classes have a special place in my heart. She is such an authentic & calm teacher. I felt so good, safe, at peace but challenged at the same time with her. Thank you."

Lara
"The yoga retreat with Carla was a beautiful experience for me, which I enjoyed very much on all levels. The design of the workshops, the yoga practices and the supporting program was created with a lot of love and authenticity. I was able to really let go, was always in wonderful hands and felt extremely comfortable in the group. I was also able to take a couple of small things from the retreat for my daily life. The delicious vegan food was amazing. I felt completely light and absolutely relaxed. Thank you so much for the healing weekend."

Simeon

Nicci
"I’m very grateful for the opportunity I got to learn yoga from Carla. From the very first day it was a safe place, no judgements - also I really enjoy the way she is teaching, very calm but effective. I love the heart opening classes, always my favorite. I really looking forward to do many more classes with her."

Udani
"Whether it was daily yoga, hiking through the mountains of Ticino or swimming in the Verzasca Valley. It was a gift for the soul in the midst of nature. My favorite part was the cacao ceremony, which was very heart-opening. The food prepared fresh every day by Carla's mother was amazing. An absolute recommendation!"

Daniela
"Carla's retreat was pure relaxation for the body and mind. She created a very diversified retreat and the location was beautiful."
