Yoga Educator
Teacher Trainer & Mentor

Spiritual Coach
I’ve taught at and managed studios in Los Angeles, Austin, and Portland, and now offer my work virtually. Read what clients and students have to say on Yelp and my testimonials page.
Hello! I’m Caroline.
I’m a life-long seeker of spiritual connection and understanding. For over 20 years, I’ve explored yoga & meditation practices, various spiritual traditions, and a multitude of healing modalities in search of integration and inner peace.
I started teaching yoga full time in 2007, and my journey since has branched out to include many other healing practices: besides teaching yoga, I’m also a Visionary Craniosacral Worker, massage therapist, qigong teacher, yoga teacher trainer and mentor, spiritual coach, and somatic trauma resolution practitioner. I’ve helped hundreds of people find pain relief, emotional healing, and energetic alignment.
Over the years, my yoga teaching has evolved into a non-dogmatic blend of movement and energetic practices intended to unify the layers of our human experience: the material/physical body, the mind/psyche/emotional body, and the spiritual essence of who we are at our core. I promote a spiritually embodied experience of yoga, and aim to educate and empower students, clients, and trainees to be their own healers.
I look forward to working with you!

I love teaching yoga.
Having practiced for 22 years, yoga is the foundation of my life journey and all of my work.

Teaching yoga is a life practice.
I love helping people discover new ways to relate to and inhabit their bodies.
I love witnessing students grow stronger and more fearless in their practice.
I love facilitating the spiritual and energetic journeys of others, and I deeply value the way my own journey evolves in the process.

My deep intention in offering classes, educational programs, and teacher trainings is to share everything I’ve learned and gained from decades of study and practice - to pay it forward by helping others heal.
“There are as many ways to practice yoga as there are people. My job as a teacher is to help students discover their own path.”
“There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground.”
