Carla de Kretser is a certified Yoga and Meditation facilitator based in Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula, with further qualifications in Holistic Counselling, Reiki, and Sound Healing.

With a trauma-informed and heart-led approach, her work supports individuals who feel anxious, disconnected from their bodies, or uncertain in their life direction. Through embodied movement, meditation, and energy healing, she helps people rebuild self-trust, reconnect with their inner guidance, and cultivate lasting confidence and calm.

In addition to private sessions and group work, Carla offers corporate wellness programs for teams and organisations seeking to improve employee wellbeing. These include workplace yoga and mindfulness sessions, corporate meditation, and tailored wellbeing initiatives designed to reduce stress, prevent burnout, and promote a culture of balance, presence, and connection.

Join her and many others via Ignite Your Spark immersive retreats, wellbeing workshops, or personalised one-on-one sessions. Whether you're looking to ease anxiety, reconnect with your body, or expand your sense of self, there are options ranging from 3–6 week group series, to deeply transformational yoga and wellness retreats.

She is incredibly clear in her delivery and provides alternative options for some of the harder moves, to suit beginner and experienced yogis alike. Carla puts so much effort into each and every one of her yoga classes, you can tell she is truly passionate about what she does.

  • "What I love most about Carla’s classes is the energy she radiates. Even through the screen you can feel the kind nature, positive aura and overall excitement she brings to every class. It is because of Carla that I have kept practicing through the Covid pandemic. I cannot thank her enough for this! It is a joy to do a class guided by her. She is friendly, accessible and knowledgeable. I highly recommended a yoga class taught by this wonderful spirit."

  • “I always thought I would like yoga but never got on with the many YouTube videos I tried. It turns out all you need is a great yoga teacher! Carla is that excellent teacher - her classes have been so valuable to me during lock-down and have helped me develop a deep appreciation for yoga in a short period of time. Her classes are varied, a good pace and inclusive and often include personal touches such as curated playlists! Would highly recommend Carla for anyone looking to start yoga or interested in taking on a new class.”
