Carl is very passionate about yoga, and teaching has allowed him to express this passion. “Yoga has improved my physical, emotional and spiritual life, and one of my goals as a teacher is to guide others to experience these benefits.” With a focus on the breath, Carl guides his students through a creative and flowing sequence of postures building heat and energy (Vinyasa). The postures are then held for lengths of time (Hatha) while Carl instructs his students into proper alignment to help develop strength and ease - a duality he speaks of frequently throughout his classes. Students look forward to and greatly benefit from Carl’s blend of Vinyasa and Hatha, as well as enjoy experiencing his well thought-out music playlists. Carl has been teaching for over 10 years. He completed his 200-hour teacher training at OM Yoga in New York City.

Julie started doing yoga unknowingly at 15, when attending a summer course at SUNY Purchase for acting.

After this, she began to do sun salutations “as her morning coffee” to this day. 39 years of on & off practice, but always involved in moving the body & body/mind – ie; teaching aerobics in the early ‘80’s once out of school. 16 years ago a friend suggested She get back to the mat. Taking that advice, she went back to a daily practice. Fate stepped in allowing her to go deeper when she won a raffle from YogaWorks for a 200 teacher training certification.
