About Your Hosts

Chloë Craver has practiced and studied and taught yoga for over 10 years, with over 1000 training hours in a variety of styles and lineages, as well a Masters of Science in Herbal Medicine. She uses the art of guiding group yoga classes in conjunction with her intuitive channeling to deliver powerful messages of love, grace, abundance and acceptance. She believes we all land where we are meant to be at the right time, there are no coincidences or accidents - but rather it is all by cosmic design. Chloë opened a yoga studio, Lotus Yoga, early on in her career in order to help nurture a space of connection and growth and continues to breathe the breath of the cosmos into the community that calls Lotus home.


Neil Craver came to one of Chloë's power yoga classes back in 2015 on one of their first dates and from that moment, was delighted and surprised every single time he came to the mat. It was love at first sight, both in relationship and in yoga! Neil learned how to teach power vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga from Chloë's RYS and has since explored studies with the late Guru Jagat and Yogi Bhajan. His calling is Kundalini Yoga and facilitating breath-work and meditation that allows radical spiritual awakening. He is a pillar of the Lotus Yoga community alongside Chloë as they continue dreaming up and delivering classes and events that inspire curiosity and growth.


Carson Richardson is a force, driven by love and nature. She and Chloë are cousins and best friends and have dreamed of co-creating this heart led journey since their first global trip 20 years ago. Carson has been practicing yoga for 10 years, received her 200 hour certification in 2015 and then again with Chloë and Neil in 2020 through studies with Lotus Yoga! She has taught vinyasa yoga, yin yoga, meditation, restorative and hatha yoga in a variety of studios over the years. Carson has also experienced first hand the magical elements of retreating as a seasoned participant of Lotus Yoga led retreats, and is honored to guide us through the healing voyage that travel & intentional action uncover.
