She is aiming to complete her 650 hours Post Graduate Diploma in Yoga Therapy with Yoga institute, Sydney by the end of December 2022. This qualification is in addition to the Advanced Diploma in yoga teaching she completed in 2005.
Right now, she is investigating and writing about the benefits of yoga-based interventions (yoga postures, breath control, relaxation and meditation) for anxiety management. In her yoga therapy course, Karli has studied the various yoga therapy tools including breath-centred asanas, intention, relaxation (yoga nidra/i-rest), movement and breath work, inner resources/life goals, visualisation/imagery, compassion/gratitude and mindfulness, sitting and walking meditation techniques, and yoga psychology and philosophy including Ayurveda and so much more.
She is more than happy to provide you with a hands on /experimental wellbeing group program which can be used to:
- manage your mild anxiety and/or stress
- just to stay well to effectively manage your physical and mental health
- to continue to look after your clients, family and friends as well as the community.
Personal experience
Karli practises relaxation every day, and has done so since she was 15 years old; she experimented using relaxation technique, accidentally finding that it made her feel energised, calm, with a clear and focussed mind. She started to practise yoga postures regularly with a group of Deaf friends in USA when she was in her mid-twenties, which started her on the yoga journey. Today, she practises a wide range of yoga therapy tools daily and which include yoga-asana programs integrated with pranayama, relaxation and meditation techniques. She believes viniyoga is the answer to making life more meaningful and allowing the individual to be present. “Viniyoga is a style of Hatha yoga that promotes the personalization of yoga practices to suit each individual yogi” (https://www.yogapedia.com/definition/5786/viniyoga,22 May 2017).
Wellbeing group program
In the face to face and online group work she will teach and guide you using various yoga therapy tools specific for each individual’s temperament, personality, and body type.
Karli also works with each individual on a yoga program to take home and practise regularly. Karli can provide training for small groups between 6-12 persons and is supported by therapy assistants who work alongside with in this program.
Finally, to stay well, the secret is to practice every day. Will you join Karli to do this for yourself to increase self-love, compassion and gratitude for your personal life, work and your loved ones?
