"Caroline, Thank you for being such an inspiration to me and for gently guiding me to deepen my practice both mentally [and] physically.  It has been a real pleasure to have been a part of your class.

Namaste,

C.S."

 

"Caroline is the most relentlessly optimistic and positive person we have ever met and we have come to relish every opportunity we have to work with her. She has a beautiful professionalism that takes into account personal limitations — real and imagined — and applies that insight to help each of us realistically achieve our physical goals. Caroline’s upbeat attitude has helped each of us develop a deeper appreciation of the spiritual potential of an active yoga practice, no matter what each of us individually chooses to bring to the mat."

"Caroline is very knowledgeable about body awareness and so helpful with poses, alignment, modifications, etc. making the class very comfortable for all. From a great dharma talk to savasana, I enjoy her classes immensely. I highly recommend her yoga classes to anyone interested in yoga...experienced or not!
Top Qualities: Personable, Expert, Creative"

"In the summer of 2013 I began working almost weekly with Caroline to strengthen my body and see how flexible I could become.  Having lived extended periods of my life, sometimes years, in chronic pain, I was also eager to see if my body would let go of pain and tension.  The work resulted in all the physical outcomes I had hoped for (and more that I hadn't!).  But the true gifts have been beyond the physical achievements.  Caroline brings a serenity and acceptance to yoga practice that was essential for me to let go of judgments and celebrate the present moment.  Most weeks she prepared a class special to my needs, but she was also incredibly facile at changing gears and creating a class for me on the fly, if my mental or physical attitudes any given morning needed special tending. She is wonderfully astute at sensing breakthroughs, and therefore helping me to stretch just a little more so I could have the sweetness of the moment.  Her expertise in alignment and anatomy are impeccable, and her often heard, "Yeah, THAT'S IT!  THAT'S it!," accompanied by a big smile and clapping, inspired me to keep trying and trying. 

During the summer of 2014 (about a year after we had been working together), I often said to Caroline, "remember when I didn't used to be able to do this?  Now look at me."  She would smile and give me all the credit, but the truth is that without her encouragement and commitment, I would not have been able to appreciate my body as physically strong and supportive of my life.  Some say that the best teachers don't teach us anything new, but help us to remember what somewhere deep inside us exists, but we've forgotten. 

Caroline is that kind of teacher and mentor.  I am forever grateful for her friendship and her true teaching heart."
