Carrie has been practicing yoga for fourteen years, teaching for seven, and can personally attest to the transformational power of the practice which helped her quit drinking and connect to her true, higher self. Through her retreat business Bigger Life Adventures, she loves enabling students to explore yoga beyond the mat and discover a mind-body-spirit practice that works for them!

In 2018 she obtained her Yoga Alliance RYT 200 from Quantum Yoga School under teacher Lara Baumann and in 2021 her RYT 500 from Lakshmi Rising School of Yoga and Wellness under Dr. Liz Lindh. She has additionally trained in trauma-informed yoga with Prison Yoga Project, yoga for recovery, teaching yoga to teens with Yoga Ed, yoga for mental health, and Yin Yoga with Bernie Clark.

Carrie taught for six years at several studios in Northern Arizona, in detention centers, schools, and recovery centers. Carrie is honored to now be on faculty guiding 200 and 500-hour YTTs with Lakshmi Rising in Costa Rica, the school that changed her life so much! She loves traveling to guide yoga retreats, workshops, festivals, and special trainings.

Carrie is an 800-hour certified Ayurvedic Health Counselor educated through Joyful Belly Ayurveda and offers personal Ayurvedic consultations and workshops. Her next yogic mission is to learn more about “Jyotish,” Vedic astrology.  Aside from yoga, she loves traveling, trail running, potlucks with friends, chocolate, and petting everyone’s dogs.
