From Students & Clients…
“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
“I happened into Caroline's class ten years ago and was immediately drawn to the intellectual and soulful intensity of her guidance. I had several private sessions with her before the pandemic, including cranial-sacral sessions, and there the real work of my yoga began. When the pandemic pushed us all online I began weekly (sometimes twice weekly!) private sessions with her. She is the epitome of expert, in every sense, including always learning. With Caroline as my guide my practice is truly “off the mat”. In fact, it is beyond words.”
— J.R. ER Nurse
“You can start from wherever you are with Caroline. I had never done yoga before, ever. And I am an older student - won't mention age, but let's just say "retirement age!" Caroline is so attentive and somehow just gets what is happening in my body.
Youtube is fine in a pinch, but if you really want to develop and strengthen and stretch your body in the way that is right for your body, then I highly recommend letting Caroline be your guide.”
— P.L., CFO
“Caroline is a natural healer who genuinely cares about her students and clients. She is a gift to all those who have the chance to work with her. She gets to know your specific needs and tailors her work to best suit you. You will be hard pressed to find a more dedicated practitioner.”
— D. S., psychologist
“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. Very grateful for the journey she has taken me on and her unique place in my life.”
— N. K., middle school teacher
“I've had amazing craniosacral sessions with Caroline and she may be my favorite yoga teacher! Challenging classes and wonderful hands-on assists. She makes you work, and in the end you love her for it!”
—S. M., musician
“I came to yoga with an interest in developing both physical and emotional balance. As a beginner, I took classes at a local studio with a variety of teachers and focuses. Caroline's Tapas Yoga classes stood out as uniquely challenging and rich in content. I often work up a sweat, and feel like I just did the most thorough and relaxing strength training imaginable. In 2020, I started taking Caroline's online Tapas classes, and they have become an integral part of my relationship with my body.
I am amazed at how immersive Caroline's online classes are. Somehow, she seems to know what my feet are doing, where my shoulders are, and what my breathing is like. Through Caroline's classes, I've learned a tremendous amount about my body, my internal systems, and myself. She's taught me to better observe and respect my limits and capabilities, while leaning into them with intention and care.”
— T. Q.
“I really appreciate how intuitive and balanced Caroline is in her teaching and guidance. On the one hand, she challenges me to push past my self-limiting inner speak, proving to myself that “I can,” a knowledge I carry with me off my mat. On the other hand, she always encourages compassion for self and to honor your own body. She always seems to know what is needed! Additionally I really appreciate how she mixes her knowledge and teaching regarding the fundamental aspects of yoga poses and qigong without losing the spiritual emphasis that those practices hold. Caroline offers a fantastic holistic teaching experience!”
— T. C., nurse
“I’ve been deeply transformed by Caroline’s teaching. It’s authentic, well-informed and warm.”
— C. L., civic services director
“Years ago, I was trying lots of yoga styles to see what felt right for me and was becoming jaded. Luckily, one day I stumbled into Caroline’s class.
I immediately felt like part of the group and was encouraged by the special attention she offers everyone. Her ability to recognize where your body, mind, and soul need attention is remarkable.
After practicing with Caroline for a few months, I was in an accident that required knee surgery and months of rehabilitation. After a few mildly effective and expensive trips to a physical therapist, I decided to return to Caroline’s classes. Right away I could feel positive results. She helped me to quickly regain my balance, strength and flexibility while providing nourishing sentiments of encouragement with every class.
Thanks to Caroline, I was able to get back to living my life to the fullest in a short period of time. It’s great to have such an inspiring, reliable and caring teacher.”
— D. M., designer
“I've been around the yoga block. Some teachers push too hard and I've had a yoga injury or two as a result. Caroline has the knowledge and intuition to guide her students further without harming them. I swear she speaks to my inner child. Her classes took me deeper mentally, physically and emotionally. So much so that for the first time in a 20 + year practice, I hired her for in-home sessions.”
— A. K., small business owner and accountant
“Speaking as a yoga teacher, avid practitioner, and bodyworker, Caroline is absolutely one of the best yoga teachers in Los Angeles! The specificity of her instructions, her careful sequencing, and her attentive approach make her classes challenging, mindful, and truly transformative. I saw significant changes take place in my body while practicing with Caroline, particularly in core strength and hip mobility, which resulted in a stronger and more fluid practice.”
