Yoga beings with listening...
Sit in stillness.
Detach yourself from a possible outcome.
No end result.
Just be.
Our practice offers us the opportunity to meet ourselves. It’s not an escape. It’s our ability to embrace our experience fully regardless of what that experience is.
Don't be disillusioned by the chaos on the surface. It's just periphery.
Beneath your emotions, thoughts & feelings lies a place that is always at peace, always at rest.
Just like the waves of the ocean, these come and go. Awareness remains...
Hello, Carmen here!
And this is what yoga is to me...
It's transformation. Again and again...
Ultimately, there is no creation without destruction...
On that journey, we want to allow ourselves to see everything. Exactly as it is. Good or bad, positive or negative, light or dark.
The things that aren't in alignment with who we truly are will eventually fade away.
Embracing just a bit of mystery in that unfolding, we will be led to where we are meant to be.
But who am I?
Passionate, to say the least.
I love heavy metal and punk. That’s my jam.
I am obsessed with motorcycles.
And snowboarding is just about the best thing I know.
I travel. A lot. Mostly alone.
Full of energy is barely glimpsing at the surface. The only time you’ll find me still and quiet is in meditation. Thank goodness for meditation!!!
I’m not a vegan.
I slip. More than I intend to. But it gives me the chance to be human.
Being fully aware how all this can appear contradictory, I refuse to do differently only to fit into an ideal that others might have about how a yoga teacher should be.
I believe 100% in what I do therefore my approach to teaching is very professional and pragmatic.
I am real. And I want the same for you rather than living a version of yourself to meet someone else’s expectations.

Doing will only get you so far. At some point, you have to let go.
