Be it in group classes or private one-on-one sessions, Yoga addresses the ENTIRE MIND-BODY complex holistically to benefit many areas in life: STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY, REHABILITATION, and RELIEF from PAIN and STRESS. For centuries Yoga has also fulfilled the role of a spiritual practice as well as a means for SELF-EMPOWERMENT and PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION.
I welcome people of ALL BACKGROUNDS, ABILITIES, GENDERS, and AGES and believe in the importance of COMMUNITY, DIVERSITY, and DEEP SELF-INQUIRY. Whatever your path, Linda Karl has the years of TRAINING, PRACTICE, and EXPERIENCE to guide practitioners in all aspects of authentic Yoga practice, bringing together BODY, MIND, HEART, and SOUL.

A global Yoga teacher and long-time activist, I've been called a maverick, an innovator, and a facilitator of deep holistic healing. Seeking a paradigm shift in the local Yoga scene I take students beyond asana into the deeper dimensions of traditional Yoga. I teach "mindful yoga", a vehicle for transformation.
Classes will continue on Zoom for all students who are not vaccinated or who prefer to remain remote. Students have described their Metta Yoga: Mind-Body Education experience as dynamic, inspirational, thought-provoking, and life-changing.
My classes are for beginners who are seeking authentic, breath-centered Yoga with a meditative emphasis; for those who want more than what a public Yoga class can give them; and for dedicated practitioners seeking to expand their practice on a deeper level.I honor each person's unique needs. Your breath is the starting point and we move into the postures where we pause and rest to experience body-breath-mind.

A "trauma sensitive" Yoga class is taught differently from the typical studio Yoga class. Sometimes a studio class is not comfortable for a trauma survivor and in fact may feel dangerous and scary. A trauma survivor can be an adult who suffered childhood abuse, domestic violence, or sexual assault, or someone who experienced a horrible accident, or a former soldier with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD.)

I have both attended and run workshops at Metta Yoga, and have found myself feeling instantly calm and relaxed upon arrival. Very conducive to being a yoga studio. It's a nurturing environment to be in and Emily is passionate about what she does, about sharing this passion with others and knows what she's talking about. This is a gorgeous, peaceful haven, run by a gorgeous and lovely yoga teacher. I definitely recommend Metta Yoga.

I have taught at Metta Yoga's previous studio in Altona, and attended workshops at the new home studio in Eltham. What can I say, the space is just beautiful! It is a very relaxed, intimate and calming place, that oozes Emily's personality and reflects what she is truly passionate about. As someone who has studied alongside & worked for Emily, I have witnessed first hand that she has a huge invested interest in anyone who enters her studio. Emily's dedication to nurturing and healing herself through yoga, movement and nutrition, transpires to a clear vision around what is taught at Metta Yoga.

I would recommend Metta Yoga for anyone at any level, as Emily will have a class that is perfect for u!
