Hi, I’m CAROLINE.
Caroline is an Australian yogi based on Maui, Hawaii. Maui’s magic powers called Caroline’s name back in early 2020, and she now resides on Maui’s North Shore with her husband.
Caroline’s passion and career creating communities and environments around the world as an urban planner and designer, has also taught her that while beautifully curated external environments do contribute to our wellbeing and to our health, to find true inner peace in this lifetime one must also look inwards. And this is where yoga plays a crucial role in our daily lives. In her classes through the process of intelligent asana sequencing, pranayama and meditation, Caroline is dedicated to the breaking down of all of our layers to be able to see and be our true selves.
She is so happy to be able to share her passion for yoga with you. To help you build your mind-body-soul connection, and strengthen the power within yourself. Clarity of the mind is the key to success. She teaches a vinyasa styled yoga class inspired by her background in ballet, and she deeply understands the importance of a good stretch as a basic tool to prevent ailments in the body.
She looks forward to taking this journey with you!
My Approach
A certified 200 RYT yoga instructor, I have been practicing yoga for 20 years reaching back to my mid-teens where my Ballet Academy in Sydney, Australia exposed us to yoga and pilates practice as a cross train to the rigorous weekly ballet schedule.
I went on to play many other sports in my youth at a high level, including track and field, skiing, tennis and boxing. From my experience flexibility and agility are the most important component of all sports, not only as an important tool to perform at your best but also to prevent injury.
Away from professional sport, many of us, including myself, spend most of the day sitting at a desk and “squeezing” in exercise. This in itself is a recipe for injury, and body and mental breakdown.
By incorporating a daily/weekly yoga practice we can build resilience in our bodies for what ever life throws at us; physically injury but also any emotional stress.
I keep coming back to yoga each day because it just feels so good!
YOGA
Yoga is the integration of the mind, body and spirit. In yoga philosophy there are no “dualities”. Our true whole selves are connected to the wider environment and to the universe. Through the practice of yoga we begin to reveal the truest essence of who we are and see things more clearly, and in doing so start to tackle the habits that cause us suffering and pain.
MEDITATION & PRANAYAMA
Meditation and pranayama (breath work) creates a strong, balanced body and a powerful mind-body connection. Meditation changes the brain in positive ways, rewiring the brain waves and effectively strengthening it. This helps your brain better withstand stress, thereby reducing anxiety and depression.
