About Kara

Kara Goldstein was born and raised in Santa Monica, CA where she was fortunate at a young age to experience many yoga classes taught by some of the world’s most renowned teachers. Her appreciation for yoga grew during her time at University of Miami, FL where over-exercising led to a need for a sweet Sunday afternoon yoga ritual.

After college she moved to NYC where anxiety and back pain led her to a daily home practice.

In 2006, she moved back to Santa Monica and immersed herself into all things healing. She became certified in Vinyasa Flow by Stephanie Keach and Holistic Yoga by Saul David Raye. She got her Thai Massage certification as well as her Prenatal Yoga certification. Later in life she completed the Stott Pilates reformer training.

To her, yoga is the journey back to one’s own spirit. It’s a beautiful and personal process that ultimately unites us all. Using pranayama, meditation, asana, and mellow music, Kara gently guides her students to align and to heal.

In addition, Kara is also a mom of two boys. Some of her other passions include cooking, dancing and writing.
