Extended Ashtanga Yoga Class - Now 75 minutes!
Join in person or via live stream.
We’ve increased our Ashtanga class from 60 to 75 minutes to give you a little more time to explore this method of practice. The Ashtanga Method is a traditional and dynamic form of yoga with asana (physical postures), pranayama (breath control), mantra (chanting) and drishti (one-pointed focus) - all designed to relax your mind, detox and strengthen your body and prepare you for seated meditation (dhyana).
Karina blends postures from the first and second series, with a sprinkle of postures from third and fourth series, including some Black Lotus Yoga-inspired flows to keep the practice interesting and wholesome. With her strong focus on technique, good form and breath control during the practice, students quickly learn the fundamentals of the yoga method, giving them a strong foundation from which to practice at home or explore other styles of practice.
This class is suitable for all levels, from beginners to seasoned practitioners, as variations are offered for each posture.

I came to yoga around 2003 via the unusual route of philosophy after developing an interest in moral philosophy whilst studying Psychology at university in London. I was particularly interested in ancient teachings from India and the Far East and stumbled upon the practice of yoga. A random and interesting chat with a monk triggered a deep spiritual awakening in me and for a short time, I attended the ISKCON temple in Soho, practicing Bhakti Yoga and Kirtan.
I found the Ashtanga Yoga method after searching for a physical yoga practice and I loved the challenge the practice offered as well as the meditative state experienced through the structured sequence of postures. The practice also helped improve flexibility around my hips and shoulders after years of athletics in my youth and then triathlons in my 20s.
I relocated to Wolverhampton from London in 2015 to be with my partner, Ben, where we live simply in our quaint Victorian house with our tabby cat, Cheech and American Bulldog, Suki.
After years of taking from yoga and seeing the wonderful effect the practice had on my own life, both mentally and physically, I was compelled to start giving back. I travelled to Varkala, South India in 2016, to study Ashtanga Yoga at Abhinja Yoga & Meditation Centre and gain my 200 Hour Teacher Training Certification.
I founded Raw Yoga Fitness & Wellness in 2016 to share my love of yoga and wellbeing; offering affordable group yoga classes, private classes, workshops, nutrition coaching, corporate wellness programs and, coming soon, retreats.
My yoga classes are challenging, but meditative, honouring the true tradition of yoga by helping students to live more mindfully, whilst building the strength of body and of mind to help them cope with life’s challenges. My private classes are tailored to meet the needs of the client.
A consistent asana practitioner for around 6 years now, I maintain a daily morning practice as well as attending weekly practices with my own teacher, Robin Aurora, in Birmingham. I attend regular workshops and events with renowned Ashtanga Yoga teachers from around the world to experience different styles of teaching and ensure my methods of teaching stay relevant. If I’m not on my yoga mat or reading another book about yoga or philosophy, I can usually be found exploring the countryside with my dog, riding my road bike or at my aerial school where I train on aerial silks and pole.
