Yoga

Release-based yoga, breath work and mindfulness practices

Yoga means ‘to yoke’ to bring together. It teaches us inclusive, empowering life skills that are good for mental, physical and spiritual health. Re-connection with our breathing, moving, sounding bodies restores our archetypal ‘wildness’ our true feelings and our inner freedom. This is what I hope to facilitate as your teacher. Diversity is encouraged by the very nature of these practices which offer us, resources to move through life with grace, gratitude and joyfulness, whatever comes our way, irrespective of belief system, gender, background, or level of experience.

As we get older the practice changes, our bodies and our needs change. I teach with a new hip and much gratitude, life goes on. We have a global pandemic, massive economic uncertainty, climate crisis, loss of diversity. Never more have we needed the solid foundation, the sense of inner connectedness and the bringing together that starts with our own body and breath.

I teach only a few one:ones currently, with limited availability, but get in touch if you’d like to explore yoga with me.

Senior Teacher, Yoga Alliance Professionals

"Caroline has been my yoga teacher for a long time now, She's very good, especially in the way she can tailor a session to suit an individual's needs, For me that means complementing the work i do with my trainer at the gym , and my cycling . There's no doubt that my posture has improved as has my flexibility , and this at a time when many of my contemporaries are going in the other direction . She's an articulate and positive teacher and as a bonus we always do a fair bit of laughing too."

Keith Warmington

"Caroline is the best yoga teacher I’ve ever had. I love her classes which are tough yet compassionate. She encourages students to ‘find their edge’ and supports them to do so with wisdom, humour, and humility.”

Amy Barry

"One to one yoga sessions with Caroline have been so helpful in gaining strength and confidence in my practice and in dealing with the stresses of life. She has always instinctively known what I needed and adapted our sessions to suit whether a breathing session or sequencing strong energising postures. Without a doubt the relaxation and rest element is my favourite. Caroline's voice in guided relaxation is like liquid galaxy chocolate meaning rest is a deliciously relaxing experience. I can't recommend yoga with Caroline highly enough."

Michele Crossman

"Caroline is an exceptional yoga teacher who combines astute insight with a wealth of practical knowledge, to craft lessons which are both challenging and fun. She manages to cater to our different levels of experience and ambitions in our regular 2 to 1 yoga lessons. She quickly adapts sessions to meet the particular needs arising on the day, creating an open, relaxed and encouraging environment. I always look forward to my yoga lesson –particularly on a frantic day when it is an all to brief haven of calm."

Susie Smith

"Caroline provided wonderful, warm and in depth guidance throughout my teacher training. With her help I found my authentic teaching style and voice. Her lessons ask you to dig deep in order to find rich seams of wisdom buried within your practice. I am very grateful for my time spent with Caroline and would warmly recommend studying with her at any available opportunity!"

Jess Williams
Dance artist/yoga teacher

"My husband and I have been receiving weekly yoga sessions at home from Caroline for over two years now. We weren't entirely sure what sort of yoga we wanted and we both work differently. However Caroline is so easy going and flexible to what your needs are that it has worked brilliantly! she has a deep knowledge and understanding of various forms of practice that she is able to firstly recognise what may be of benefit and adapt session without breaking the flow. She’s a permanent fixture in our diary!"

Sue & John Forde

"After a 200 hr teacher training course and only a few hours of actual class teaching practice I found it hard to make the transition from fledgling yoga teacher to confident and successful yoga teacher. Caroline's mentoring was invaluable as her vast knowledge, insights and experience assisted me in structuring and delivering good yoga lessons, she also worked on improving my own yoga asana postures and after just one session with her my class teaching was noticeably improved. With Caroline your yoga teaching skills start to rocket. I'm deeply grateful."

Vera Fernandes
Yoga Teacher and TEFL Trainer

"Some of the best hours of my year have been spent practicing with you. I love the energy we create at Yogasara."

Sam Lacey

“Caroline is a wonderfully cheerful and strong lady. She has given me some very happy and very enjoyable yoga sessions in my home. Over the months I have become more flexible and stronger. Very much enjoy doing vocal work at the end of our sessions.”

SB
(wheelchair user)

"Caroline is a remarkable teacher-trainer who brings a wealth of experience both in asana and in vocal and voice techniques. Her embodied approach to yoga practice is at the heart of her teaching and she is adept at transmitting this through both the skillful incorporation of yoga philosophy and in her ability to meet students at their skill level, giving support and encouragement at every step of the way. I can’t recommend her highly enough."
