Carole began her yoga journey in 1998 while living in Northern California, exploring many styles of yoga including Iyengar, Kundalini, Vinyasa, Bikram, Sivananda, and Viniyoga. She immediately fell in love with yoga and practiced through her pregnancies, helping her to bring 3 lovely daughters into the world. Balancing motherhood, family, and the demands of life is the ultimate yoga for her. Carole's strength is providing yoga to varying populations in a fun, creative, light-hearted, and spontaneous environment that is accepting and nurturing: tailoring the practice to the specific needs of the student.
