About Carole's Experience with Yoga & Motherhood:
Carole began her yoga journey in 1998 while living in Northern California,
exploring many styles of yoga including Iyengar, Kundalini, Vinyasa,
Bikram, Sivananda, and Viniyoga. She immediately fell in love with yogaand
practiced through her pregnancies, helping her to bring 3 lovely
daughters into the world. Balancing motherhood, family, and the demands of life
is the ultimate yoga for her. Carole's strength is providing yoga to
varying populations in a fun, creative, light-hearted, and spontaneous
environment that is accepting and nurturing: tailoring the practice to
the specific needs of the student.
