Teacher´s BIO

After a book fell on her head at a local bookstore Carmel took it as a sign to be in the moment and signed up for her first yoga class.   The book, "Initiation" was just the beginning.  From the time she took her first class in 1989, she knew yoga would play an important part in her life.

She began teaching in 1997 and met her teacher, John Friend, the founder of Anusara Yoga in 1999.   His method of teaching inspired her to reach for the stars, as a teacher and a student.  Discovering new ways to open and to create a profound connection to the body, mind and spirit.  The lessons she learned from her teacher were given freely, and brought a sense of lightness and ease to her practice and encouraged her to do the same for others.  Opening your heart as one opens to grace to feel an abundance of joy and bliss on and off the mat.

Carmel was certified in Anusara by John in 2003, she continues to study with him, and feels being a student is an important part of her being a teacher.  She holds gratitude in her heart for all her teachers and all her students who constantly inspire and challenge her to be the best that she can be.

This week will be a study of ananda.  To find bliss everywhere in our lives.
