Biography

I’ve been practicing Yoga for 31 years. Shortly after my oldest son was born, I began taking Yoga classes at an Adult Education class at Olmsted Falls High School. I took classes and practiced at home during most of the years that my three sons were growing up. My practice definitely made me a better mother. I was certainly less stressed and more rested than I would have been without it.

My first Yoga training was to become a Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapist in Housatonic, Massachusetts. I became certified in 1989 and was a mentor in the program during the next five years. Later that year I took my first Yoga Teacher Training at the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health in Lenox, Massachusetts and became a certified Kripalu Teacher that year. I’ve been teaching ever since, first one class a week and slowly adding classes over the years until now I teach eleven classes a week.

In 1995 I completed another Yoga Teacher Training with Integrative Yoga Therapy in Mill Valley, California and followed that by beginning a masters program at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California. I earned a Masters degree in Psychology with an emphasis on Yoga in 2001. I wrote my Masters thesis on Yoga and Parenting which is near and dear to my heart. I’ve continued to receive training throughout the years with various well-known and lesser-known teachers in smaller segments.

I love teaching Yoga. I received and continue to receive so much from my own practice that I’m delighted and honored to share it with anyone who wants to come to my classes. I welcome you to come to a class and see if it’s a fit for you.

Namaste,
Carol
