Carol is a lifelong mover, dancer, and teacher.  Carol began practicing yoga during college years while living abroad and studying dance.  Choosing to work in the world of transformative educational programs, dance and yoga became an avocation.  After golden years of creating and nurturing a family and a children’s school, Carol returned to the movement arts and began teaching yoga in 2003. 

In 2005 Carol took Sarahjoy’s 200-hour teacher training and has been teaching at Portland Community College ever since. With the pandemic Carol took refuge in DAYA classes and recently completed Sarahjoy’s 300-hour professional training. 

Carol is a former 1st Degree Nia Black Belt instructor and Nia 5 Stages Teacher Trainer, and brings a passion for exploration and connection to one’s inner wisdom and well-being through the practice of yoga.

"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it."
