Caroline is a qualified Sivananda Yoga Instructor. She lived in an Ashram in Southern India and learnt under the ‘Gurukula’ system – where one lives, works and studies with their teacher.
Sivananda Yoga is a traditional form of Hatha Yoga, which focuses on The Five Points of Yoga – Exercise, breathing, relaxation, diet and meditation.
The asanas (physical exercise) focus on the health of the spine, its strength & flexibility, and on the internal machinery of the body, the glands and organs, as well as the muscles.

Sunrise meditation at the Ashram…
|
“My experience of living in the Ashram and learning yoga was probably the most amazing time of my life. Yoga is all-encompassing, and ashram life is mentally demanding. Up at 5am each day with a full schedule of lectures, 4 hours of yoga and 4 hours of meditation and chanting each day was tough – especially on two meals a day! Although fit, I struggled with the postures, until I learned how to relax and accept my limitations. Yoga has a great deal to teach us about patience, and acceptance and can have a profound effect on the stressed body and mind”.
