About Kara Mortellite

Driven by an endless sense of curiosity and a innate desire for connectedness, Kara’s passion is for life itself in all of it’s different directions.An opportunity to practice yoga beside her mom in a small hot room arranged mat-to-mat and filled with strangers brought Kara to yoga several years ago. Little did she know, it would shake-up and transform all aspects of her life. Since beginning a daily practice of yoga and mindfulness, Kara feels her life is more inspired, creative, love-filled and connected than ever before.For Kara, yoga is about discovery. She believes that stepping onto your mat is an invitation to discover what makes your heart beat, a practice in embracing all parts of who you are and learning to live fully from an authentic place. She believes that yoga is an opportunity to create (and re-create) love, gratitude, joy, playfulness, healing and forgiveness so that these gifts can be taken off of our yoga mats and into the world.In addition to teaching yoga, Kara is the Content Editor for Island Yoga and oneOeight.tv, an online community dedicated to yoga, wellness and healing.
