Sharing yoga with laughter, lightness and positivism...
About Carrie
Carrie is a mother and yoga instructor in Stowe, VT. She practices yoga daily to maintain a supple body and calm the clamors of a worried mother’s mind. She has practiced yoga since 2001 when she explored a home practice from a Hatha style book. The practice helped her get to know another side of herself as she ventured through her 20s, searching for the right path.
When she lived in Mammoth Lakes, California and Portland, Oregon she continued to practice a variety of yoga styles to balance the intensity of extreme sports like rock climbing, snowboarding and downhill mountain biking. The yoga practice taught her how to breathe, stretch overworked muscles and stay in the moment.
​
When she moved back home to the Rochester, NY area, her hometown, she began studying yoga with Francois Raoult of Open Sky Yoga Center, where she earned her 200 hour teaching certificate in 2013. She leapt into teaching with an open mind and compassionate heart to guide her students from where they are, not necessarily where they are going to.
Just recently she moved to Stowe, VT so her and her husband could raise their children in an environment openly conducive to exploring the outdoors! She continues to enjoy her two boys while making space to share the joy of movement and mindfulness with the community of Stowe.
She strives to keep exploring various healing modalities such as yoga, reiki, aromatherapy and natural foods to help her and her family be the best they can be. You will also find her snowboarding, rock climbing, cross country skiing and mountain biking! She reminds herself and her students daily, not to take this life too seriously. Life is for living, laughing and loving!

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 and continues to do so at Finger Lakes Yoga Center, corporate offices throughout the area as well as private 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!
Most recently she has 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 her son Connor in 2015 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.
