OUR TEAM
Carlo De La Cruz
Carlo and his yoga practice has and continues to evolve in a way that is harmonious to the physical body and creates serenity and focus within the mind. To be aware of the present moment, to feel within the body, and to stay connected to the moment's experience using breath and movement, while staying in integrity to the intent of the practice, is how he entices personal empowerment from those who share their time to practice.
What started off as a physical complement to his movements as a rock climber, his practice has grown to what he describes as a moving meditation. His backround as a teacher stems from the healing aspects of a Forrest Yoga inspired practice to a fluid, mindfully sequenced Vinyasa that is accessible to everyone by using modifications and props.
