PARENT AND ME

For babies and toddlers, a class I taught five times a week for several years in LA. A wonderful opportunity to spend healthy time with your young one, for you and them.

KIDS/TEENS YOGA

I’ve been teaching kids privately and in small groups and have developed a lesson plan that not only exposes them to yoga, but also encourages reading, public speaking, and their own confidence in teaching and sharing Yoga. It’s been so gratifying to see how they intellectually piece yoga poses and sequencing together through the game that engages them while seeing their body awareness and esteem heighten through the practice. Please let me know if you’d like to sign your kids up for a weekly Yoga Session through the summer. The classes build to a final presentation where your child will teach their family a full yoga class!

SENIORS YOGA

A very gentle movement practice to re-align and open the muscles and bones. With an emphasis on posture, gentle strength, and slow instruction, these sessions can be extremely beneficial for people who are less mobile.

RETREAT DAYS

Our studio is located on a beautiful 160 acre farm in the heart of the charming town of Salisbury. Gather a group of friends (up to 9) and book a day away – full of adventure, beauty, health, and relaxation. Our day will begin with Pilates and Meditation in our open-air space that looks out to the fields and Berkshire mountains. We will then venture just down the road to one of the best hikes in the country, featuring waterfalls, faerie pools, and epic views. Afterwards, we will return to the studio for Yoga to stretch out our muscles and relax into the afternoon. A healthy, delicious lunch will be served al fresco, followed by time to daze in one of our hammocks under the maples, paddleboard on the local lake, or enjoy optional massages by one of the best masseuses in Litchfield County. Our day will finish with a surprise class that always concludes in freeing fun and joy. If you and your group choose to stay in the area for dinner, The White Hart, The Woodland, and Race Brook Tavern offer gorgeous meals in historic dining spaces and are five minutes down the road. Achieve physical results and wellness with this active experience in the company of friends to refresh your senses and delight your soul.

Prior to Caroline I associated yoga as a mingling of twister and breath holding while my vertebrae cracked so loudly it would make a chiropractor blush. Then, we met Caroline in Washington, CT, a town I would describe as bucolic, pastoral and cosmopolitan, much like her. She simultaneously is of this place and also, an exotic sliver of the West Coast that adds a touch of transcendentalism to her practice. On this last note, East Coasters need not panic, as her transcendentalism is of a type that would not be foreign to Thoreau or Walt Whitman. She poetically weaves the numinous into her practice, under the quixotic belief that the quotidian stresses of the modern world could yield to the ancient practice of yoga. She searches for the fundamental physical flexibility of childhood, and a connection to the wholeness of a time even before that. The simplicity of her approach is deceptive, as her understanding of her craft, human physiology and what the practice is doing to her pupil’s minds is elaborate. She uses that insight with understated and thankfully, gentle guidance. She is prescient, wise and a master of the counter-impulse. If you need someone to hold your hand while you clear away the cobwebs of your mind and joints, Caroline is your Muse.

You are generous and thoughtful and I’m in deep gratitude for the love and care you’ve given to our son all these years. You helped pull him out of the darkness. And now helping to launch him to his next great adventure. Thank you for all you do for my son and the world. You are a miracle!
– a parent

Just wanted you both to know I just got back from Caroline’s 9 am Wednesday class. It was a home run: very challenging with precise, clear and encouraging instruction.
I am so grateful I learned of your studio.
– Margaret

I have to say: these many Sun Salutations you did last Monday had the most amazing effect on me. My body felt like a feather and everything was perfectly together: Body- Mind- Mood- Vibe.
It lasted even the next day! Thank you very much.

My twelve-year-old daughter recently started weekly yoga lessons with Caroline. She LOVES her time with Caroline; it is truly one of the highlights of her week. Caroline really sees my kid, adapting the lessons to her needs and moods, which might mean intertwining yoga with finding treasures in the woods or using cards to sequence poses and discuss emotions. Caroline is a gem, and we are grateful to have found her!
– Olivia Herman

Thankful to my dearest yoga teacher, Caroline, who read a beautiful poem to me at the end of class this morning (as she always does). It hit the right spot for me today, …she tuned in bright and early to teach me and bring me peace before my scans tomorrow and chemo.

A group of us — all ages, shapes and sizes — were led by the very gifted Caroline in a beautiful yoga practice…Young people, old people, tired people, energized people, healthy people, struggling people, kids – what I love most about this class, aside from its brilliant teacher, is the profound acceptance, the sense of kindness and love for friends and strangers alike…I really love her classes, am so grateful she’s teaching…

I’d like to introduce Caroline Kinsolving and her Yoga for Good program! I heard about her class while I was at Kripalu. I was unbelievably energized from her creative flow.

We all know Caroline to be a charismatic and joyful yogi, whose classes are filled with light, feeling, music, and a deep, soulful practice. So it goes to figure that remote practice with Caroline is would be all these things, too. Since we are spending so much time in our homes these days, our spaces must now serve our work, our play, and our rest; our everything! What a gift it is to invite Caroline and her yoga practice into your home…now, more than ever we need to create sanctuary there.

I found it interesting, eye opening and quite worthwhile. She is inspiring: her movements are controlled, disciplined and with purpose, her speech and tone are even, relaxing and inviting, like a physical poem.
– Craig, Finance and Accounting

Caroline has been my go-to yoga instructor for the past 7 years. Most recently, she instructed me privately while I was treated for breast cancer. Caroline is very intuitive which is critical during a mind-body practice. She specially crafted each session to what I needed that hour. She pushed me when she knew I could do it and she slowed me down when she knew I was pushing too hard. She deftly leads you down a path to introspective thinking and listening to your body while simultaneously providing a great work out. She has a gift and I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
– Trish Russo, Associate at Disney, Cancer Survivor, private client

---

Caroline listens to your body for you, she sees your abilities and works with you through them, pushing when necessary. My body changed noticeably in the two weeks we worked together.
– Carolyne Savini, Senior Vice President Turnkey Sports, new yoga student

A great session. My abs thank you. They keep saying, “we want more”!
– JoAnn, Restauranteur

Caroline is a dynamic teacher with a keen understanding of various yoga styles, from pre-natal to Vinyasa. She is super personable with clients and students, and leads the room with confidence and grace.
– Gillian Gorman, Multi Studio Owner in the Berkshires, Masseuse, and Yoga Instructor of 20 years

Yoga with Caroline is like a deep breath of fresh air. She always asks where you are that day and creates a practice based on your individual needs (she’s great at making modifications to fit any level). I always feel challenged, relaxed, and peaceful after our sessions. Caroline creates a truly unique and restorative environment where you feel safe and cared for. I’ve practiced for many years with her and my progress has been a delight in my life. Caroline truly walks the walk. You are in the best of hands and I highly recommend taking the leap. Enjoy!
– Chloe, Pilates instructor, private client for 5 years

I cherish it when I get to go to CK’s Yoga Class! Seriously, one class turned around how my husband and I treat and love each other… and there wasn’t even anything that bad about our relationship, but who could use more affection? Especially the expressive kind!
– Rachel, wife, mother, former athlete

---

Thank you for the yoga class! We both thoroughly enjoyed it (and I passed out that evening and had the best night of sleep I’ve had in a while).
– M.K., mom, wife, and yogi

Caroline lights up the studio… Such gratitude for her kindness and joy and big heart. So glad she is teaching.
– K, studio owner and CEO

I love your whole class and love the spontaneity that leads us outside or under the pergola some days. But my favorite moment is shivasana when I lie resting, body well tuned and you read a poem. The words wash over and into me, and I absorb their beauty in full.
– Caz, Financial Analyst

---

Thanks for today’s class! It was so beautiful and enervating. The weather and farm perfect, but mainly you are such a great teacher, and so good at tailoring to the setting, crowd and mood. I also love your music. You play so many of my very fave songs.
– Chrissy Armstrong, Performer

Caroline Kinsolving is experienced, kind, spontaneous, and flexible in body and spirit; she is one of the best yoga teachers I’ve had the pleasure to study with either in Connecticut or New York City. She works with you at your own level and has an eagle eye for corrections that she imparts specifically and kindly. I inevitably leave Caroline’s class having learned something — not just about yoga, but about myself.
– Vicki

She’s absolutely phenomenal. Caroline Kinsolving’s class was amazing. Her energy was infectious. I attended the Vinyasa class and it was delicious! She led me to explore my edges and go deeper, while guiding a safe, inclusive class for all levels! I loved it!
