In 2019, Carla took a leave of absence from her corporate job, and completed her Yoga Teacher Training in Bail, Indonesia. Since then, she continues to harmonize her love of travel and fitness around the world. She received her Pilates certification at Equinox in London, UK. and is the seasonal in-house Yoga and Pilates instructor at Soho House Canouan in St. Vincent & the Grenadines. Carla’s international work also includes attending and hosting her own retreats in Mexico, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, Portugal, Spain, and Italy.
