Kara-Leah Grant is the driving force behind The Yoga Lunchbox, New Zealand’s most popular yoga website. Author of two books, she has carved a successful career as a writer, yoga teacher and speaker based on an intimate sharing of her own experiences. Kara-Leah’s focus is on helping people connect to their own power by awakening their internal wisdom and learning how to step into spontaneous flow. Her practical and potent book Forty Days of Yoga, which draws heavily on her own experiences, has helped thousands of people establish a regular home yoga practice. Physical injuries and mental health fluctuations forced Kara-Leah to develop a strong home yoga practice in order to deal with the pain of life. As a result, Kara-Leah learned how to intimately examine her habitual responses to emotion and thought, giving her a solid, experiential understanding of the psyche and how it is embodied. Her yoga practice has been her anchor for more than fifteen years now and through this embodied practice she understand how to practically apply the tools of yoga in our daily lives on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. This means that Kara-Leah’s teaching is about far more than just physical postures - her passion is helping people understand yoga as a way of life and as a way of being. This permeates all her classes, whether she’s teaching a philosophy course, a vinyasa flow class or Yoga Trance Dance™. Kara-Leah lives in Wellington, New Zealand with her young son.
