"Carla's Yoga Class was simply the most beautiful yoga Class I have ever participated in. I have been practicing Yoga since 1975.( On and off)  I have moved all over and attended many Yoga Classes with many different teachers. Carla was by far the BEST! I will NEVER forget her, her yoga class, or her memorizing music. It was awesome!"
