Hi, I'm Carolyn.
I share yoga nidra, restorative yoga, and rest retreats.
Rooted in slowness and ease, I help women reclaim their rhythm, in a world with no pause button.
We gather in circles, unedited, anchored by collective care. And slowly, we remember who we are, and rise together.

Carolyn’s yoga classes have been incredible. I have found myself able to release tension and rest even after the most challenging days. I have learnt so much about myself and my yoga practice,

Carolyn is a wonderful teacher. Her kindness and warmth helps me settle into rest even when my mind is feeling scattered. I would really recommend Carolyn and her classes and retreats to anyone.

Just another thank you for last weekend's retreat. It was truly, profoundly healing. I hadn't realised how depleted I was, and I just I can’t believe how loose and at ease my body feels now, as does my soul. I cannot wait until the next one!

Hi, I'm Carolyn.
Weekly yoga, when I worked long hours in the corporate world, was my favourite hour of the week. Like my head stopped spinning and I could actually pause, remember to breathe, and feel home in myself again.
Becoming a Mum made it clear to me how valuable yoga was in my life. Not only for my physical-mental health, resilience and self-awareness, but it helped me see clearly that staying in the depleting job, trying to live up to 'doing it all' wasn't the right path. I took a leap of faith and left my job in 2018. I studied 200hr Hatha Yoga Teacher Training, and have loved sharing and studying yoga ever since.
As my teaching and practice has evolved I have found solace, space and self understanding from slowing my practicing. The introspective practices of meditation, somatics and restorative yoga, alongside the power of community especially for women and mothers, has become the heart of my work.
I have also shared Children's Yoga and Mindfulness since 2018, in Bristol Primary Schools, family workshops and wellbeing festivals. In our digital world it has never felt like a more important time to nurture positive body-mind
connection from an early age.
Thank you for being here, I hope we meet soon.
With love,
Carolyn
