ABOUT
WELCOME TO VERDA
HI AM CARLA, FOUNDER OF VERDA STUDIO__ I’m a yoga teacher, bodyworker, creative entrepreneur, and consultant - with a deep belief in the wisdom of the body. For years, I worked in the corporate world, guiding teams through transformation and change. But eventually, my own system reached its limit - and burnout and depression became a turning point. What followed was a personal journey back to myself, not through thinking, but through feeling. It was bodywork, breath, movement, and stillness that brought me back into connection. Now, I bring all parts of who I am into Verda Studio: the creative, the strategic, the intuitive. It’s a place for others to reconnect - with their body, their rhythm, and what’s true for them.
WHAT IF YOUR BODY KNOWS__ I believe that the body carries everything - stories, emotions, unspoken stories. We store what we don’t process. We suppress what we don’t know how to feel. Often we try to think our way through it. But true healing begins when we feel. The work I share invites you to gently return to your own body as a source of insight, release, and restoration.
MY VISION: INSPIRE TO FOLLOW WHAT FEELS TRUE TO YOU__ My vision for Verda goes beyond group classes and individual sessions. It’s about creating a brand that inspires others to follow what feels true - to live in alignment with their own rhythm, their own truth, their own nature. Because your body already knows. And when we begin to listen, everything begins to shift.
WHY VERDA__ Verda means green: alive, growing, rooted in nature. It mirrors the nature of this work: organic, evolving, and deeply human. It’s a place to feel. To explore. To reconnect - at your own pace, in your own rhythm.
A LINEAGE OF WISDOM__ I am beyond grateful for the wisdom, knowledge, and embodied presence that my teachers have passed on. Their guidance has shaped the foundation of my work — and I carry their teachings into every touch, every class, and every offering. This path is one of lifelong learning, and I’m humbled to walk it.
