Hi, I'm Kara

I'm a yoga and meditation teacher with over 15 years teaching experience and more than 30 years of personal practice.

My journey with these practices began 30 years ago, when I took my very first yoga class with an inspirational 75-year-old teacher, Elsie Stewart. She completely changed the way I thought about ageing, showing me that getting older doesn't have to mean becoming less curious, active or engaged with life. Elsie seemed younger and more vibrant than my 23 year old self!

Now, in my 50's, I have more than three decades of experience with yoga, meditation and other practices that support calm, balance and wellbeing. I love sharing what I've learned and creating immersive experiences where you can step away from the noise of everyday life, spend time in nature and simply give yourself space to reset.
 

Over the past 15 years, I've hosted more than 60 yoga and meditation retreats in beautiful natural settings across the Gold Coast hinterland, the Sunshine Coast and India.
 

For many years, my retreats were known as My Yoga Retreat. Over time, however, I noticed that guests were increasingly drawn to the silence, meditation and opportunity to step away from the constant stimulation of everyday life. That became the focus of my retreats - and I've never looked back.
 

My retreats are designed to provide space to slow down, disconnect from technology and immerse yourself in practices that support both body and mind. Yoga, meditation, mantra, silence and time in nature all have a place, with the emphasis on experiencing these practices rather than simply learning about them.
 

Dozens of regular guests return to my retreats year after year, with some joining me two or three times annually.

As a massive introvert, I understand how valuable it can be to have time away from the noise and demands of everyday life. I love creating spaces where people can slow down, reconnect with themselves and experience the benefits of stepping away from the usual pace of life.
 

I look forward to welcoming you.
