“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.”
– John Strugar, MD, Board-Certified Neurosurgeon


“An amazing teacher!! I felt so calm and centered all day yesterday. Thank you, thank you! Can’t wait for the next class!”
– Emily,Visual Artist featured at the White House


“Your practice is as awesome as it is timely.
Your classes are a trifecta: win (body,) win (mind,) win (making a difference in the community.)”
– Jane Whitney Gruson, Television Journalist, Newsperson, Talk-Show Host, and Political Activist


“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…”
– Dani Shapiro, best selling author

You bring so much sweetness to so many.”

Thank you for sharing your gifts so gracefully.”

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.

“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

– JoAnn, restauranteur

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

Congrats on making such a difference.”

– Caz, Financial Analyst
