Cari integrates many yogic traditions into her classes, often daring you to play, laugh, and open to the universal flow. Through postures and breath work, Cari invites you to enter into the present - the body’s time, whereas the mind is often dwelling on the past or assuming outcomes of the future. As the chattering mind dissolves, you are open to receive clarity, wisdom, and balance. The icing on the cake is greater strength, flexibility, detoxification, and healing within the body and mind. Cari continually deepens her practice with workshops and self-study, and loves to facilitate experiences that lead you to discover the profound connections realized through practice. A lifelong student, Cari is a graduate of Nosara Yoga Institute in Costa Rica and Body Being Massage School. She received a B.A. in psychology from Middlebury College and she most recently attended Esalen for deep tissue massage training.
