About me
Karl Straub, born in North Carolina, was introduced to meditation at age 11, developed as a competitive swimmer, singer, and actor, and graduated from Duke University. After teaching math and science and founding one of the first web hosting companies, Karl made a big life shift in 2005, selling his business, donating most of his belongings, and embarking on an eight-year journey, traveling only with what he could carry. During this odyssey he studied with master teachers in multiple traditions and taught yoga and meditation in more than 40 cities across 12 countries. He combines physical precision with attention to breath, meditation, and the philosophical heart of yoga, creating experiences that balance rigor, humor, and spiritual insight. He leads weekly classes in Zurich, global retreats, workshops, and teacher trainings.
