Testimonial
Rowena, Italy 2013
“Carri is a great teacher. She is powerful, strong, full of encouragement and positive strength. Carri taught me through my 200 hrs yoga teacher training and I really enjoyed all the time I got to spend from her and learn from her. She is knowledgeable and has a passion to share this knowledge. Her interest in the anatomy is infectious.
I thoroughly enjoyed all of Carri’s classes, and her introduction to Pilates was great. Carri has a deep interest in core stability. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough to any lucky aspiring yogis.”
