Let’s start where you are to find practices that help you feel better!

Welcome, I'm Carolyn

A former triathlete and Army nurse, I’ve been practicing yoga since 1996, teaching since 2007 and offering private yoga therapy to groups and individuals in person and online since 2014. 

My strong belief is that there is no one right way to practice yoga. I’m dedicated to working with you to find the specific practices that help you achieve your goals. Some of the practices I share with students include breath work, meditation, gentle movement to increase joint mobility and active movement to build strength and stability.

I’m passionate about sharing the practices and principles of yoga because they have helped me heal, connect to purpose, meet life’s challenges, and be more present in my body, relationships and life.  


I am a certified yoga therapist through the International Association of Yoga Therapists (IAYT) and bring the experience of a career in nursing and health research to my teaching. I also hold a Masters of Public Health degree in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. 

"There are many reasons I have been a devoted student of Carolyn's for 20+ years. First, she has a deep foundation in both the practice and principles of yoga. Second, she brings added value through her background as a nurse and an athlete. She will make sure that your practice is appropriate and safe for you. Finally, her voice is calming and beautiful to listen to! I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t benefit from Carolyn’s classes. I find her classes as rewarding now as a senior practitioner as I did when I was younger and more athletic. I hope to be a lifetime student of hers! "

"I found my way to Carolyn’s studio after surgery to repair a fractured ankle. I hoped yoga could help my healing process, including reclaiming balance after several months of non-weight-bearing activity. It did! Carolyn is the most gifted of teachers because her teaching begins with what her students need. She is deeply knowledgeable, which allows her to adapt her teaching to what she and her students discover in the course of the practice. As a person who is warm, kind, and funny, Carolyn makes it so easy to be vulnerable and to embrace growth. I would recommend Carolyn—and have!—to anybody seeking deep intelligence in their yoga practice. "

"Carolyn brings a wealth of experience on and off a mat to her yoga instruction. She is a life-long learner, always expanding her extensive knowledge of yoga technique and philosophy. She studies human anatomy and applies it to her teaching. She sees each individual's needs and limitations and helps us to be satisfied with progress, not seeking unattainable perfection. Her effervescent sense of humor contributes to helping clients relax. All of this is why I keep coming back. "

-Phil B.

"I really enjoy Carolyn‘s flexible attitude and good humor. I had not done yoga for quite a few years, but Carolyn’s class has improved my flexibility and strength. My arthritis pain has decreased since using the poses she’s taught me. I look forward to our classes every week because I know I will feel better and move more easily afterward. "
