Welcome to Kai Ananda Countryside Yoga & Yoga Therapy

Whether you’re brand spanking new at yoga or practice regularly or used to practise and want to re-commit yourself to Welcome!

I’m Carla but my family calls me Kai, you can call me either, I’ve been practising yoga for over 25 years and completed a 500-hour teachers training course in Rishikesh, India, another 300-hour in yoga wellness and 300-hours in yoga therapy.

I started my blog when I was facing the most difficult time in my life and only yoga has kept me partially sane.



I teach classical hatha yoga as taught by the yogis of the Himalayan masters in Barbados with a slow steady pace, encouraging inner reflection, ideal alignment and proper breathing. Click here for more details on my classes

Classes are in my purpose built yoga studio in St. Philip, Moncrieffe, but I also teach at the Crane and offer private classes.


Private Yoga classes and Yoga Therapy in Barbados or online on Zoom. Private classes are BDS$75 / US$37.5 for the first person and BDS$30 / US$15 for each additional person.



Yoga classes are 1hr and each class focuses on a different theme. My classes are usually small and I try to tailor each class to the students needs or wants. If they leave it up to me then I include, mobility of the joints, strengthening, stretching and balance.
