Carol has been practicing yoga for more than 30 years. She is a graduate of yoga teacher training programs with Esther Myers (author of "Yoga and You") and Nischala Joy Devi (author of "The Healing Power of Yoga") and has studied with a wide variety of teachers representing a broad range of Yoga traditions. Her style is a vibrant blend of elements drawn from these varied practices with an emphasis on grounding the body, lengthening the spine and cultivating the breath.

She views yoga as a practice of:

• Observing yourself without judgement
• Undoing. . .Learning to recognize tension and release it
• Non-violence and non-competitiveness
• Self-acceptance and self-discovery

Grounded in a profound trust in the body and its wisdom, Carol encourages students to begin where they are, connect body and mind through the breath, practice with a light heart and have fun! She goes beyond teaching poses to teaching people.

Carol offers private Yoga Therapy and teaches Yoga classes in a variety of settings, including:
