About
🕉 I’m Kara or my Spiritual name is Mahashakti. I Love, Live & Breathe Yoga in the city of Fountain Hills, AZ.
20+ years experience.
I am blessed to teach Hatha Yoga as it was taught to me while living in an Ashram with my Gurus/Teachers; true Swamis(one who knows) The yoga you will be practicing is a traditional style of Yoga from the Swami Sivananda lineage.
Great for beginners & advanced students!
I'm I also teach restorative yoga- great for the elderly, the anxious, the stressed & the injured. Activate the parasympathetic nervous system. Connect w God.
Come Breathe w me & not only extend this life but experience a Peace that surpasses all understanding. Must Experience to understand- Let me help you get there.
Want Balance in your Body, Mind & Soul? Relieve/Release physical, & or emotional pain? Depressed? Anxious? Want to lose fat & become flexible? This is the yoga for you.
Ever wanted to learn to meditate? Call me!
Addiction Issues? I can help! I also hold a special 12 Step Yoga for Recovery Certificate. (Y12SR) The issues live in our tissues.
Pranayama (controlled breathing)- you will learn alternate nostril breathing & Breath if Fire - Kapalabhati- 2 extremely powerful breathing techniques. A unique benefit available, because of my being an energy healer, all lessons can end w/ an Essential Oil infused healing, foot massage.
I am Healthy, Happy, Peace & Love! If you contact me, I can help you attain these true blessings. Yoga is not a religion - I am a yoga teacher who happens to be in love with Jesus. Yes Christians can practice yoga.
Yoga is a prayer in motion.
I love seeing the smiles on my students faces when they are fully engaged body, mind & soul looking so serene & peaceful. Plus I get to share my passion & my love for others while helping them in the processs. It’s truly a dream come true! I thank God from the bottom of my Heart that this is my calling in life.

How did you get started teaching?
I was extremely fortunate to get a job at two different studios as soon as I finished my teacher training. One at a studio in Lakewood Ohio & One in Avon Lake, Ohio. I then started teaching privately 1 on 1 & I loved it! The rest is history. If you are serious about having a true yoga practice- Be prepared to dedicate/ invest time & budget for at least a two month commitment. 2x week. OR If you are just interested in trying yoga out- We can do a restorative class- U basically lye comfortably, & breathe.;in Savasana, legs up the wall, supported bound amgle pose etc..
Being an energy healer & using essential oils in my sessions also sets me apart!
