🌍 Reimagining Education Through Yoga, Leadership & Cultural Wisdom
At Rooted U Yoga, we believe that yoga is more than movement and education is more than academics. Our Yoga Education cultivates whole humans—curious, connected, and courageous beings— and paves a way towards learning, leading and living with purpose in today’s world while honoring the wisdom of the past.
We weave yoga, leadership, and cultural learning into experiences that are both purposeful and practical. Where yoga philosophy and global education meet, our work creates spaces where learning is embodied, relationships are strengthened, and leadership unfolds as a natural process.
Our purpose is to ensure that every learner, family, and educational community we serve flourishes through culturally grounded, healing-focused programs that honor yoga’s roots while meeting the needs of today’s global citizens.
The Roots of Our Work
We believe education is most powerful when it nurtures the whole child, honors cultural traditions, and strengthens connection between body, mind, spirit, and community.
At Rooted U Yoga, we design programs that:
Empower children to grow as compassionate, embodied leaders.
Equip educators and families with holistic, practical tools.
Build bridges between cultures, communities, and generations.
Our work is rooted in healing-focused, culturally grounded practices. Through yoga, leadership education, and experiential learning, we foster:
Curiosity about the human experience and cultural traditions.
Skills for self-regulation and emotional balance.
Embodied, creative approaches to learning and leadership.
A supportive community where purposeful practice becomes a way of life.
Our Vision: #STAYROOTEDYALL
One of my main goals in life is to stay rooted in my truth and have compassion with myself and my process (and how often it changes me).
#STAYROOTEDYALL was born from my quest and longing for home. Wandering the world and wondering how to be more and more at home in myself and in my choices – to live my life as a walking altar and be at home regardless of where I found myself physically.Â
I use #STAYROOTEDYALL as a way to help folks become curious about exactly what it is that helps them to stay rooted throughout the twists and turns of life. It is a reminder to breathe, move, rest/retreat, embrace life and trust the Divine Plan.Â
I create spaces for children and adults to explore practical tools and applications of yoga philosophy through their multiple intelligences – on & off the mat. We honor the roots of the practice and interweave them into the root systems we create in our communities.Â
I honor my teachers and learning experiences, as use them as motivation to share my gifts as an educator. My teaching journey has brought me to share with people of all ages, across several continents, and experience many cultures.
My yoga journey has brought me to live in ashrams worldwide to study myself and yoga philosophy very deeply and intimately. I have taken 1000+ hours of trainings and taught several thousand hours of classes and teacher trainings.Â
Leadership and community and self-expression are pillars. I believe that we are all leaders at something, and we each have an important role in our communities. Join me on an interactive journey of self-discovery and empowerment to discover how you #stayrootedyall.
Love, Carla
