“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind."
—C.S. Lewis
Kara has been passionate about movement her entire life. Soccer was her primary focus growing up, eventually leading her to competing at the collegiate level. Throughout her athletic career, yoga was a supportive practice—offering both physical balance and a space to slow down and reconnect.
After graduating from Lenoir-Rhyne and stepping away from competitive sports, Kara deepened her long-time yoga practice and completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Midtown Yoga. She now loves guiding others through mindful movement and breath, creating space for connection, awareness, challenge, and growth.
Originally from Wisconsin, Kara now lives in Raleigh with her husband, Juan, and their dog, Bleu. Off her mat, she works as a Sustainability Manager and is a traveler at heart, always inspired by new places, cultures, and cuisines.
