About Kara-Leah

Welcome!

I have been a yoga teacher, retreat leader and facilitator since 2006, teaching an integrated, everyday path of trauma-informed spirituality grounded in Tantrik Yoga. I’m on the process of moving away from teaching in the spiritual realms, so bare with me as this website goes through a transformation! I am mentoring people, and offer 1:1 sessions, plus three months containers for those who would like on-going support for deeper transformation. My background is in journalism and strategic comms, and I’m moving more into this work now. Stay tuned for further updates as I pivot and transition, and begin to apply the wisdom of the inner worlds to business and society.

What’s Currently on Offer

Ancestral Prostrations Practice Immersion • Oct 28

Join Anneliese Kuegler and Kara-Leah for a six-week journey of daily practice.

Karma is the energy that underlies all actions. It’s those invisible patterns that play out over and over again despite our conscious desire to do something different.

Ancestral Karma is carried forth through the familial lines, and can be burned up through this particular Tantrik Yoga practice.

This online Immersion is designed to provide a supportive, loving and accountable environment to do this work with more ease and joy.

This Immersion focuses on learning this Ancestral Karma Prostrations Practice, doing it every day with the support of the group and container, and collectively burning through Ancestral Karma.

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.”
