Yoga asana and meditation with Caro is a dream come true! Her discipline is so motivating and delivers an exceptionally attuned physical practice, full of new discoveries, and her kindness and authenticity are so radiant. I could not recommend falling in love with her teaching more highly!!!!

I loved these classes so much! Caro does an amazing job of creating a sense of community with her online peeps. The way she cues always helps me find better alignment and made poses I never would've thought I could do accessible. Love having the recordings to go back to & can't wait for the next round!
