Carla McAdams, E-RYT500
My journey on the path of yoga began as a teenager, and has taken many turns since, all of them leading to this moment of grace and the gratitude I feel each time I step on my mat to practice or teach yoga. My ongoing love of yoga and its power to transform the lives of all who practice it has led me to study yoga seriously for the past several years, extensively in the Kripalu tradition, but also in the Iyengar, Anusara, and Viniyoga styles.
I received my 500 hour professional certification from the Kripalu Center of Yoga and Health in 2005, and am committed to teaching the open-hearted, energy-based yoga of the Kripalu tradition. During my program I was privileged to study with several senior Kripalu teachers, including Yoganand Michael Carroll and Sudhir Jonathan Foust; and with other noted yoga instructors, including Gary Kraftsow, Donna Farhi, Roger Cole, and Todd Norian. In 2008 I completed a Yoga for Scoliosis Teacher Certification with Elise Browning Miller and an advanced pre-natal yoga certification through the Himalayan Institute..
I am committed to creating a yoga experience whereby each student discovers the strength. beauty, and joy of their inner Self through yoga. I am especially interested in the therapeutic applications of yoga practice, as related to chronic conditions, disease, and the process of aging.
