Dancing the Dragon with KL

Be the Light. Hold the Dark.

About Kara-Leah

Tired of fitness yoga that feels hollow, alignment yoga that feels rigid, and flow classes that don’t even teach YOGA? Or maybe you skipped the whole yoga thing because… where’s the passion, where’s the FIRE?!

Me freaking too!

And that’s why I’m currently focused on birthing a new body of work that is a distillation of my 30 years practising and teaching yoga, plus navigating the purification process of Kundalinī Awakening.

Yes – welcome to Dancing the Dragon — a no-bullshit approach to yoga AND life that ignites your life force, liberates your energy, and teaches you how to burn up your shit (beliefs, patterns & trauma) while unlocking bliss in the fire and joy of practice.

Side effects may include: feeling strong and toned, waking up your sex drive, more energy than you know what to do with, and living longer with way more vitality and joy.

Influenced by the teachings of Trika Shaivism (traditional Tantrik Yoga), this practice of life & yoga is designed to become a living transmission of Śiva-Śakti, the pulsing dance of Awareness and Energy. Because what happens when you learn how to stoke your internal fire, surrender to the innate intelligence of your body & allow yourself to be moved?

Come find out – check the event tab above to see where I’m teaching next.

Oh – and if Kundalinī is kicking your arse, reach out. Because YES, I coach a small number of people through the fire, and into freedom.

Coaching with Kara-Leah

Is life kicking your arse? Are you navigating a Kundalinī awakening, a major life transition, or chasing excellence and feeling like you’re losing ground? You don’t need another book, podcast, or theory. You need a coach who can cut through the bullshit, see exactly where you’re stuck, and walk with you as you dissolve conditioning, rewire your psyche, and claim the life you know is possible.

I work with people inside powerful coaching containers (minimum 12 weeks) that include weekly 1:1 sessions where we dive straight into the fire, wrap-around support on WhatsApp or Telegram so you’re never left hanging when shit gets real, and full access to The Toolbox—hundreds of classes, talks, and practices to fuel your process every single day.

Coaching Testimonials

“After only one 1:1 session with Kara-Leah, I experienced a profound shift so potent that the light it ignited has continued to shine in my heart ever since. The healing journey of releasing old patterns and limiting beliefs requires deep diving into our fears, which is at once no easy task and essential to finding clarity and making our dreams come true. Kara-Leah is there with you every single step of the way, listening deeply and supporting you in full presence and awareness. Holding space in unconditional love, she guides you fiercely and compassionately through the murk and into greater clarity, offering astute insights along the way that illuminate the very core of the matter. I left feeling empowered, clear, light and with tools that I could easily integrate into my daily practice to continue the inner work.”
Mari-HalinaMentoring client
“Initially, I wanted to work on my struggles with a 15 year long anxiety disorder. Not only have I had enormous shifts with the anxiety I was experiencing, but many more areas of my life are shifting too.  This work is not just a symptomatic fix, but a total perspective shift, one which supports you in up-leveling every area of your life. Kara-Leah has such a grounded yet intuitive ability to get to the heart of the matter quickly. She communicates with a direct, kind, and unconditional presence. She is amazing at holding space so that I can go deep into whatever arises and whatever work needs to be done.”
Emily Mentoring Client
“The inner work I have done with Kara Leah in 1:1 sessions has been the some of the deepest, most transformational inner exploring and healing I have done. It is with a sense of ease that I allow my-self to dive as deep as is required, simply because I can feel her there with me, every step of the way and knowing that someone ‘has your back’ and is holding space for you with full awareness and intention, allows an unfolding of the layers within, to get to the heart of the issue. I couldn’t recommend her more.”
