Carolyn Shaw, MC | she/her
|
Carolyn’s approach to both life and her yoga practice has been influenced by her love and respect for mother nature and her curiosity of the human experience. A long time practitioner she finds yoga the perfect practice for fostering self-inquiry, cultivating acceptance, and expanding the mind. Originally a dedicated Ashtanga student, she has expanded her practice and teaching to include a variety of different styles.
Completing her 200 hr YTT at the Salt Spring Island Center of Yoga and her 300 hr YTT in the Modern Teacher Training program, she enjoys exploring ways to cultivate a sustainable practice for the modern day yogi; balanced with variety, fun and rooted in tradition. Carolyn works through a trauma-informed lens and loves the way psychology and yoga compliment and support one another.
She incorporates traditional philosophy with modern knowledge of body movement and alignment. She invites her students to challenge and explore themselves both mentally and physically; and encourages curiosity and spontaneity throughout practice.
