Gaia is Calling
Awakening in unison with Earth
A sacred path home, in unison with Earth.
The Calling
Enlightenment is not complete if it is not in unison with Earth.
You can not fulfill your maximum potential without recognizing who you owe it to. Whatever achievement there has been; is not grounded. Without Gaias recognized participation, our results have gone somewhere but to the ground of life that forged the cradle where you could be born, grow and experience all that was given.
Before our biological parents, before any personal achievement or spiritual attainment, Earth has been the sacred ground that makes our human existence possible.
About
Awakened Earth Yoga.
Awakened Earth Yoga (AEY) builds on the foundations of Envision Yoga, created by Vidya Heisel. When Karina experienced it in 2015, it opened a powerful space within the practice to work with the conditioning, beliefs, and unconscious patterns that can limit our sacred and divine potential.
This very unique combination of movement, breath, sound, transmissions, and self-reflection bring these patterns into a loving awareness where we can work consciously with them. This integration makes the practice not only physical, but extraordinarily and profoundly transformative.
The inclusion of Earth in AEY as a living presence and teacher reminds us our relationship with her, and then personal transformation becomes an act of service to her, and the world.
This practice facilitates becoming more present, more whole, and more deeply connected to ourselves, to life, and to Earth.
Awakened Earth Yoga facilitates healing and transformation of one’s body, mind, and consciousness, and integrates multiple yogic techniques to foster embodied awakening. The unique ingredient of Awakening Earth Yoga is honoring Mother Earth as a divine being and living teacher of the yogic principles of harmony, love, and oneness. When our practice includes Earth, we receive her loving empowerment, which up-levels our yoga, our health, our relationships, and the world.

Karina's Training
Her teaching integrates traditional yoga principles with a sourcefull, compassionate, and Eartheart-centered approach, creating practices that support both personal transformation and a deeper relationship with life.
This is a space for multidimensional healing: breath, energy, body, and Earth moving together. It is not about performance or instant mastery — it is an invitation to grow, progressively and powerfully. Stress softens. Disconnection dissolves. Curiosity and embodiment become the ground from which an strenghtned awakened experience of yourself can emerge.
The transformation begins in the first breath, and it deepens with every practice. This is yoga as empowerment: a lived experience of becoming more present, more whole, and more free.
