ABOUT CAROLYN...

Carolyn Anne Budgell (BA, ERYT 200, Kula 75, Prenatal, Yin) discovered yoga in 1999 as a ski bum in Whistler. She is now mainly a meditation guide (and lifelong student!). She has been guiding yoga + meditation trainings, retreats & corporate events worldwide for over 13 years. Carolyn has had the privilege of sharing mindfulness and yoga tools through various platforms: Insight Timer, Wanderlust Festivals, lululemon, Love Your Brain, Mala Collective and many more. Most recently, her personal studies have taken her into the worlds of breathwork, yin, traumatic brain injury and end-of-life support. Thanks to her guides Ana Forrest, Michelle St Pierre, Tara Brach, Schuyler Grant and Clara Roberts-Oss, she now leads from an inviting, relatable, and lighthearted place. She passionately encourages others to remember that it’s never too late to breathe deeply, to grow, and to change. With Carolyn, you’ll discover tools for the nervous system and mind through mindfulness + meditation, breathing techniques and restorative spa yoga. She's dedicated to sharing with individuals, retreaters or corporate groups in the most simple yet powerful of ways. Read her whole story HERE.
