Hello from Dubai!

Hello all! A bit late yo the show!

My name is Karina. I was born in Puerto Rico, raised in the East Coast of the USA and shifted over to the United Arab Emirates back in 2020.

I completed my 200hr TTC back in November of 2023. I actually dove into it with no prior yoga experience. My first lesson was my first yoga experience. I went into it with the intention to heal from childhood sexual trauma. I remember vividly during our first week of TTC, everyone sharing what prompted their journey. Many sharing that they wanted to broaden their yoga experience, some sharing they wanted the fitness aspect. Then there was me, with a massive lump in my throat and only able to muster, “I want to heal” before letting the flood of tears consume me. I felt like a broken piece of furniture desperately trying to put itself back together.

Throughout my 200hrs, I learned more about my body than I ever thought possible. Not only was I becoming stronger but I was learning body cues that I blindly would ignore.

My two favorite types of yoga is Hatha and Yin. Both bring me calmness and peace.

A successful 30 days for me would look like, me showing up to my mat everyday. The consistency is my goal which in turn, I hope would help break away from fear of sharing this act of service.

I look forward to sharing this space with you all.
