Carl Faure

Carl leads the Yoga Philosophy and History talks on our Foundation YTT

Carl is an experienced senior yoga teacher currently based in Ibiza. In the yoga world, he is best known for founding and running East London’s pioneering yoga studio, Stretch, which he led from 2012 to 2022.

Through Stretch, Carl and Calli trained hundreds of yoga teachers and developed a distinctive, evolving approach to practice that continues to inform his work today. With nearly 20 years of teaching experience, Carl is also a certified Inspirational Breathing breathwork practitioner of over 10 years, alongside his work as a strength and movement coach.

For the Embodied Beings training, Carl focuses on Yoga Philosophy and History. He brings a fun, embodied, and contemporary perspective to this profound ancient wisdom—guiding students through the often complex lineage of yoga in a way that is clear, relevant, and alive. Rather than keeping philosophy in the head, Carl helps translate it into lived experience, allowing students to feel it in the heart and share it naturally and authentically in their teaching.

  • Ben Mortimer, Head of Polydor Records

    Carl is a patient, fun and inspiring yoga teacher. In our 1-2-1 sessions he put me at complete ease while pushing my yoga progress forwards. Cannot recommend practising with Carl enough.

  • Loulou Kenlock

    Carl is quite simply the best trainer I have ever had. His blend of movement, strength, balance and embodiment and years of yoga has created his own unique style of training. I was recommended Carl after an early hip replacement and really struggling to find any trainer that understood and was making a difference. If you want results he really is your guy. I’m not only stronger, leaner, but with better posture and finally have muscle definition again. You know when somethings working when people ask you who your trainer is!

  • Joe Clark

    Training with Carl has been hugely beneficial for me physically and mentally. After trying various forms of training over the years his knowledge of strength, movement and calisthenics along with extensive experience in yoga and breath work provides the perfect balance for a well rounded and results driven session.

  • Jenn Annderson-Mann

    I have suffered from scoliosis since childhood and tried everything from Pilates to swimming to Osteopathy - all to relieve the pain and increase strength and mobility - but nothing has worked anything like Carl's method of Rotational training. Highly recommended!

  • Veenus

    Carl is an extremely passionate teacher, generous with his words and heart, as well as his ever expanding and deepening pool of knowledge. He leads the way forward with conscientious awareness and joy, and is one of the most authentic people I think I have ever met. His focus is laser sharp, and this coupled with a deep connectedness to himself and all that come into his field creates a warm and easy, and completely confident environment in which to learn.
