About Karla Gutiérrez – Body-First Advocate & Dance Guide

Karla Gutiérrez, straight from the heart of Costa Rica, lives by a simple yet profound belief: let your body lead the way. Her own escape from the daily grind of stress and routine was found in the raw energy of dance, the grounding force of somatics, and the free nature of breathwork. These practices not only changed her life but also showed her how to listen, trust, and co–create with her body’s natural wisdom. Inspired by her transformation, Karla now guides women to escape the confines of their minds, shed stiffness, reclaim their body’s wisdom, and connect with their natural rhythm.

Karla’s all about shaking off the weight of too many “shoulds” and expectations. She’s here to remind us that joy is buried right under our feet, in the beat of our hearts, waiting to be unleashed. Her classes are an open invitation to break away from the noise and listen to what your body’s been trying to tell you all along.

Mixing the energizing rush of ecstatic dance with the mindful connection of breath-driven somatic movements, Karla’s classes are far from your typical dance class. They’re an adventure in self-discovery, a space to grow, release, be whatever you want to be, and maybe even find that joy you’ve been missing. Each class is your chance to move in ways that feel right, find your flow, and step into a life that’s all about living fully and freely.

Geeta Maker-Clark M.D.

Geeta believes that any meaningful healing must involve the mind, body and spirit, and that whenever possible the most natural and least invasive intervention serves the highest good of the person. She has pursued study with traditional healers, midwives, herbalists and energy healers, master physicians, farmers and land activists in many countries around the world including Brazil, Belize, India, Venezuela, Cuba, and much of the United States. Her personal and professional work addresses the health issues arising at the intersection of culture, race, food traditions, lifestyle and inequity in the food system. Her work with food is deeply rooted in the belief that if you trace back just a few generations, every person comes from a rich culture of healthy, medicinal foods, and that food is deeply personal and part of a larger socio-political system.

Geeta is a graduate of the University of Arizona Fellowship in Integrative Medicine, under the supervision and mentorship of Dr. Andrew Weil. She is a certified prenatal yoga instructor, a practicing yogini for the last 20 years, and a devoted student of life.
