About Carrie
Carrie began her yoga journey while attending St. Lawrence University, where she discovered a Hatha Yoga book that captivated her with its rhythmic patterns of movement and breath. Her self-guided practice evolved through Ashtanga and Power Yoga before bringing her home to Rochester, NY, for a 200-hour Hatha Yoga teacher training with Iyengar influences under Francois Raoult of Open Sky Yoga.
Through this training, the deeper traditions of yoga came to life through the study of pranayama, asana, philosophy, and Ayurveda. She went on to earn additional certifications in back care and prenatal/postpartum yoga.
As life unfolded, Carrie became a mother of two boys, and these ancient teachings became an anchor through her own evolution from woman to mother. Today, she continues to nurture that connection through a daily practice of meditation and movement, no matter what life brings.
Carrie’s teaching is playful, imaginative, and accessible, rooted in practices that nourish the body’s desire to move fluidly and live with greater ease. Whether exploring classical yoga postures, restorative shapes, or fascia release, she invites students to connect with the energy of the earth and our innate sense of oneness and belonging. She believes that life is what we make it, and that through practice, we create space to meet ourselves more fully. Ultimately, yoga is a practice of finding the true you.

Experience
Carrie has trained at the Open Sky Yoga Center in Rochester, NY with Francois Raoult, where she received her 200 Hour Essential Teacher Training Certification in 2013.
She immediately went on to share yoga with the public at Finger Lakes Yoga Center in Canandaigua, NY. She taught yoga extensively for employees of Wegmans Food Markets, Canandaigua National Bank and Constellation Brands. She has also had the privilege of teaching one on one, or two for those seeking more individualized instruction.
She has since received a certificate in Back Care Yoga Teacher Training from Open Sky Yoga Center. Having experienced back pain and incredibly tight muscles, Carrie teaches from her own learned benefits. This is truly a yoga practice for all, whether you want to maintain a healthy spine or are looking to ease chronic pain, there is a place for yoga in your life!
Carrie received a teaching certificate in Prenatal & Postpartum Yoga with Carla Anselm of the Open Sky Yoga Center.
The prenatal/postpardum yoga practice was essential to her preparation for the birth of both her sons Connor and Gavin, as well as the recovery. She thrives on sharing this knowledge with other mothers who expect themselves to be as they once were. The yoga practice helps guide us and honor all that we are now.
Most recently Carrie achieved her RCYT as a registered Children's Yoga Teacher Training, after her 95 hour training with Christine MrArdle of Soma Yoga Institute. Carrie enjoys hosting school aged children in yoga studios, schools, private homes and outdoors! In a world where technology and information are spreading like wildfire, she in committed to fostering the beauty of humanism by sharing laughter, joy and spirituality with our youth community.
Her journey is continuously inspired by new healing modalities, evolving styles of yoga and energy healing.
