Sacred Space Yoga with Carol Ann
Meet Sacred Space Yoga with Carol Ann
Namaste
Carol Ann started practicing yoga several years ago for chronic lower back pain. For years her practice was purely physical, and while she enjoyed and continued her practice she felt something missing; the spiritual connection. It wasn't until she suffered a trauma in her life that the missing element would surface.
"I finally got it. While on my mat I found I could accept the suffering and find peace through the connection of body and breath. Yoga, coupled with my deep faith in God, became a prayerful moving meditation, an inward journey that brought stilling calm to my spirit, a sacred space." The path to certification was a calling. While in savasana the thought came to me I should finally get my teaching certification, something I'd wanted to do for some time.
Carol completed the RYT-200 training May 28, 2016 through Life Power Yoga and now holds 2 certifications: ERYT200 (requiring a minimum of 1000 teaching hours) and YACEP (qualifying her to give CE hours to yoga teachers). (Her passion is for students to discover a body, breath, spirit connection in yoga that will take them beyond the mat into their daily lives. "I want students to understand that yoga transcends our suffering and we can cultivate peace within ourselves in any difficulty."
“Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life.”

Improving wellbeing is more than just a fitness decision, it’s a lifestyle commitment. My sessions provide an excellent opportunity to exercise your body and mind, but they’re also places to meet and share with other engaged and open-minded individuals.

Yoga Philosophy
Yoga Philosophy is based on the belief that mental and physical health are interrelated, and should be conditioned together. Sessions and classes attempt to coordinate breathing and physical movement, improve focus and concentration, and help participants regain control of their body and mind.
