  • When the pandemic pushed us all online I began weekly (sometimes twice weekly!) private sessions with her....With Caroline as my guide my practice is truly “off the mat”.

    J.R., ER nurse

  • Caroline's teachings have forever changed the way I think about yoga. I've never felt as strong, connected to my body and soul as I did when I was attending her classes regularly.

    T.T.

  • Youtube is fine in a pinch, but if you really want to develop, strengthen, and stretch your body in the way that is *right* for your body, I highly recommend letting Caroline be your guide.

    P.L., CFO

  • I am amazed at how immersive Caroline's online classes are....Through her classes, I've learned a tremendous amount about my body, my internal systems, and myself.

    T.Q.

  • Caroline genuinely cares about her students. She gets to know your specific needs and tailors her work to best suit you. She's a gift to anyone who has the chance to work with her.

    D.S., child psychologist

  • After knee surgery and a few mildly effective trips to a PT, I returned to Caroline’s classes. Right away I could feel positive results. She helped me quickly regain my balance, strength, and flexibility.

    D.M., designer

  • Caroline encourages compassion for myself and honoring my body, and challenges me to move past self-limiting inner speak, proving to myself that “I can”- a knowledge I carry with me off my mat.

    T.C., nurse

  • Speaking as a yoga teacher and bodyworker, Caroline is one of the best yoga teachers in Los Angeles! I saw significant changes in my body while practicing with her.

    S.S, yoga teacher & Thai bodyworker

  • Caroline’s intuitive nature has led me to confront my limits in yoga and spiritual training. She has the structural awareness of an architect and the mind of a Wise Old Woman.

    N.K., middle school teacher

  • I’ve been deeply transformed by Caroline’s teaching. It’s authentic, well-informed and warm.

    C.L., civic services director

  • Caroline inspired a change of view in what yoga could do for my life and how I could access the true benefits of the practice that I’d been missing.

    W.G., writer & editor

  • Caroline's classes took me deeper mentally, physically and emotionally. So much so that for the first time in my 20 + year practice, I hired her for private sessions.

    A.K., accountant

  • I've had amazing craniosacral sessions with Caroline and she may be my favorite yoga teacher! She makes you work, and in the end you love her for it!

Class Descriptions

  • Saturdays 1pm ET | 10am PT (60 minutes)

    All Levels

    When we hear “strengthen your core”, most of us immediately think we need to get those 6-pack abs to really pop! However, for functional spinal support - the kind that truly relieves chronic tension and pain in neck, shoulders, low back, and hips - “strengthening the core” really means rebalancing how our bodies have learned to move.

    Core Yoga:

    • strengthens the deep abs (transverse abdominis) while balancing out the actions of the other abdominals

    • works the midback muscles to improve overall posture

    • releases overworked, achy, tension-holding muscles in the shoulders, hips, and low back

    You’ll discover muscles you never knew you had and leave feeling calmer, stronger, and more connected!

    PROPS NEEDED: yoga mat, yoga strap, 2 yoga blocks, and a yoga blanket or large towel (if you’re missing any of these items, please let me know when you show up to class!)

    RECORDINGS: These classes are recorded for Tapas Members. Only the teacher’s screen is recorded. If you unmute to ask a question, the audio will be in the recording, but your video will not.

  • Starts May 11

    Saturdays 2:15pm ET | 11:15am PT (45 minutes)

    Lecture + discussion/Q&A; some active participation to feel the pose in your body

    Dive into a detailed exploration of a specific pose/family of poses! For each pose we spotlight, we’ll break down:

    • Alignment Principles: both traditional & modern approaches

    • Pose Function: yogic intentions & physiological healing effects

    • Energetics: discover which chakras are impacted and how a pose affects/shifts the emotional body and energetic state

    • Anatomy: what's contracting, stretching, and releasing

    • Challenges: common difficulties and how to address them

    Every week, we’ll explore a new pose. Tapas Members can submit requests for future analysis!

    RECORDINGS: These classes are recorded for Tapas Members. Only the teacher’s screen is recorded. If you unmute to ask a question, the audio will be in the recording, but your video will not.

  • Sundays 1pm ET | 10am PT (90 minutes)

    Root yourself in your body!

    A slower-paced practice with emphasis on floor-work: seated and reclined stretches, core work, grounded strengthening poses, and yin yoga (deep release stretches). The focus of each class depends on the requests I get at the beginning of each class, so bring your tired shoulders and aching back and ask for what you need!

Past Classes

My virtual class schedule shifts a few times a year based on student input and interests. These classes are still available as Private Yoga sessions and may be offered again in the future. Join my mailing list for updates!

  • Yoga is a wonderful way to relieve the aches and discomforts of pregnancy, prepare your body for labor, and develop the strength and posture-awareness you’ll need for baby-carrying and breast-feeding!

    However, your practice needs to shift during pregnancy - even seasoned yogis have to adjust to meet their changing body’s needs! Your center of gravity shifts, the body experiences new aches and pains, and pregnancy hormones create hyperflexibility that can easily result in torn ligaments and tendons. Prenatal yoga addresses the ever-changing experience of pregnancy and provides modifications and insight to practice safely.

    1 hour | beginners welcome | currently not on the schedule - available as a private session - join my mailing list for updates!

  • An intentional blend of yoga, qigong, tai chi, pranayama, acupressure, therapeutic tremoring, and meditation. The focus of each class and practices used varies week by week with the intention of aligning energy centers (chakras) and moving qi to create inner balance, optimize well-being, and integrate body, mind, and spirit.

    You’ll learn about your energy systems, move your body, connect to your breath, and leave feeling centered and alive!

    60 min | no experience necessary | currently not on the schedule, but available as a Private Yoga session - join my mailing list for updates!

  • Qi is the energy or life force that flows throughout the body; qi that’s depleted, stagnant, or excessive impacts every aspect of our well-being, including digestion, menstruation, organ health, mental health and clarity, emotional state, and even the function of the musculoskeletal system. Lifestyle, diet, emotional dysregulation, and season changes all contribute to these imbalances of the qi. Qigong (“moving qi”) optimizes overall health and emotional balance while calming the nervous system.

    In this class, we use standing qigong practices, medical qigong, tai chi, self-acupressure, qi/energy awareness exercises, and breath work. We may work seated or standing depending on what we’re addressing that day.

    You’ll leave feeling calm, refreshed, and more present - and equipped with techniques to continue your healing work on your own.

    30 min | no experience necessary | currently not on the schedule, but available as a private session - join my mailing list for updates!

  • Release tension in prop-supported poses that gently stretch the body and calm the nervous system. Each class ends with a brief Qigong Self-Massage and 5-minute meditation.

    Restorative Yoga requires props that can be substituted with general household items:

    • 1-2 yoga bolsters (sub: long couch cushions or throw pillows)

    • yoga strap (sub: bathrobe tie, long belt)

    • 1-2 yoga blankets (sub: thick towels, cotton blanket)

    • 1-2 yoga blocks (sub: small sturdy box, thick book, stiff shoebox)

    If you’re missing any of these items, just let me know when you arrive in the Zoom class and we’ll make use of what you do have!

  • While meditation is a deeply centering, anxiety reducing skill, it takes persistence and regular practice to get to a place where it’s easy to just sit and drop in - it can be daunting when you first try to get into it!

    In this class, we'll explore different styles of meditating so you can learn which techniques work for you. Each class will include brief discussion and a guided 10- to 15-minute meditation.

    20 min | no experience necessary | currently not on the schedule - available as a private session - join my mailing list for updates!

  • Unwind and destress to prepare yourself for the week ahead - without having to leave the house! Winter Self-Care is your weekly mini-retreat of self-massage, gentle stretching, and qigong. Each week we focus on different areas of the body and learn new self-massage and restorative yoga techniques.

    Put on some relaxing music, light some candles, roll out your mat - I'll take care of the rest! (A hot bath and tea afterwards is highly recommended...)

    45 minutes | no experience necessary - currently not on the schedule, but available as a Private Yoga session - join my mailing list for updates!

  • Intensity junkies welcome! Journey inward, exploring adventurous yoga postures while honing focused introspection and self-awareness. A stimulating practice for intermediate to advanced yogis seeking transformation, depth, and healing.

    This is an intentional, slow-paced practice that assumes a working knowledge of yoga asana and body awareness. The practice is mindfully sequenced to warm and activate the body in preparation for more advanced poses and practices
