Ben Karla
Yoga Instructor
Ben (he/him) is a student and teacher of Yoga as a means to deepen the connection between his mind, body, breath, and community. Prior to discovering Yoga, Ben was an athlete in basketball, track & field, and weight training. Years of overuse led to injuries, and Ben was forced to sit. He began a daily meditation practice, which taught him to slow down and be more mindful about how he moves his body. He then dove into his personal yoga practice for several years before completing his 200-hour training and starting his teaching journey.
Ben’s goal as a teacher is to lead students through fluid vinyasa yoga that builds strength, creates flexibility and inspires growth - both on and off the mat.
Aisha El
Reiki Master Practitioner
Dancing Mindfulness Facilitator
Aisha is also a holistic wellness practitioner. She is a Licensed mental health counselor by trade and absolutely loves helping others heal and find their voice. On the journey of infusing her career and love for helping others with her passion of dance, she began to study different healing modalities. She now incorporates therapeutic expressive arts (i.e. dance, healing sound, and energy work) into her already extensive skill set.
Her work helps clients to process unspoken trauma. Aisha believes that trauma is often stored in the body and that movement is a vital part of healing. She also believes in having fun, life is a party, let’s dance! Aisha has dibbled and dabbled in yoga for a few years now but decided to get serious about her yoga journey during the pandemic where stress was at an all-time high. Yoga has been an awesome addition to her personal practice and self-care and she is now working to become certified as a yoga instructor.

Bre Norton
Yoga Instructor
Bre Norton is a 200 hr certified Yoga Instructor through East+West Yoga. She discovered yoga at a very dark time in her life. After finding a consistent practice, she found that yoga began to bring calm to her body, and balance and clarity to a life filled with stress and anxiety. It has allowed her to let go of self-doubt and the pieces of the past that no longer serve her. This beautiful practice introduced her to a new life filled with acceptance and love.
She incorporates a variety of traditional practices in movement, breath, and meditation to help each student practice their own unique form of yoga. Bre believes that Yoga is so much more than a physical practice; yoga is healing, yoga is listening to your body and serving its needs, it is remaining teachable and discovering your truth. Her goal is to create a safe and welcoming environment for all; to encourage people to find space within themselves, in whatever way feels good in that moment.
With the healing Bre has received from yoga, she is passionate to create that same opportunity for others in the community. Bre is always eager to meet new yogis in the community and build a connection with her students!
Dani Bernal
Yoga Instructor
Dani's yoga journey began in her hometown of Westchetser, NY back in 2013. Her passion for the practice blossomed and expanded as she entered college at High Point University a year later. Post Grad, she found her home right here in Charlotte, NC. After a year and half of practicing at a local studio, she decided to further her yoga journey through teacher training. She completed her 200 RYT Training at Charlotte Yoga with Jenn Eddins and assisted various classes shortly after.
She believes that yoga is for everyone and that is a practice of self-discovery. Teaching brings her immense joy because of the ability to share her passion and enthusiasm for the practice itself with the community. Off the mat you can find her outdoors, singing, practicing her handstands, reading, playing with dogs, and spending quality time with those who mean most. You can also find her on her social media, doing her best to spread positivity and love.
