This 75-minute, all-levels class is designed to help reduce stress and restore balance in both body and mind. Through breathwork (pranayama) and mindful, flowing movement, you’ll find space to release tension and reset your nervous system. Poses are chosen to counteract common stress patterns such as hunched shoulders, tight hips, and low-back discomfort, with an emphasis on safe alignment and body awareness. This class seeks to honor the ancient roots of yoga by using Sanskrit names and discussing the energetic aspects of each posture. The result is a practice that leaves you feeling grounded, open, and renewed. Disclaimer: As a massage therapist, Carolyn is fascinated by our physical bodies. So expect extra tidbits about muscular anatomy along the way!
Carolyn completed her 200-hour training in 2008 while living for four weeks at Shoshoni Ashram in the mountains of Colorado. Rooted in hatha yoga, her training emphasized precise alignment, anatomical knowledge, meditation, and pranayama. Over time, her personal practice has evolved toward vinyasa, with an appreciation for flowing, dynamic sequences. As both a yoga teacher and massage therapist, Carolyn brings a love of anatomy and mindful movement to every class. Off the mat, Carolyn is the proud mother of Archibald, Neville, Fiona, and Fintan (3 rabbits and a cat)!
