About Caroline
For years I walked out of yoga classes with tear-stained cheeks after experiencing the overwhelming closeness of God on my yoga mat. There was something so powerful about focusing my attention on just being present for that hour of class and the freedom I found in it was intoxicating.

Some of us were made movers – we feel more alive, more present, more able to hear God, more able to know ourselves when we’re moving. We run, we dance, we spin, we hike, we connect with God by moving our bodies.
Maybe you can relate?
I believe the physical practice of yoga and the sweet truth of Jesus have been put in separate boxes for too long. God is for our freedom and our wholeness. It’s up to us to take God out of the Sunday Church box and invite Love and Presence into the holy drudgery of Monday through Saturday.
What can you expect when you practice yoga with me?
A welcoming and accessible yoga and prayer practice that will help you hear God’s loving voice here and now.
Each practice starts with a few minutes of deep breathing and Gospel encouragement. This is where we lay the physical and spiritual foundation for the practice, taking the time to draw our awareness onto our mats, and connect with our breath and our hearts.
Then we move through a series of poses that will help strengthen, lengthen and tone our bodies. On my YouTube channel you’ll find a range of classes from gentle to power yoga, most of them sequenced in the Vinyasa style (connecting breath to movement, creating a sense of flow). Each practice always ends with a time of deep relaxation and surrender – Savasana – and prayer.
