About Carla de Gouveia

This is how my Yoga journey began…

I first began practicing Iyengar Yoga in the late 1990s. I had no teacher so I practiced at home, alone, in my lounge, Guruji’s book ‘Light On Yoga’ at my side. What an awesome teacher to have! And so my yoga journey began. When we moved to Midrand I found an Iyengar teacher, and from that first class, I knew I would one day be teaching Iyengar yoga.
