Carolyn Bluemle is Iyengar certified and has been teaching yoga for 19 years. She has studied in India with the Iyengars and in Italy with Dona Holleman. During her doctoral studies at UC Berkeley she honed her analytical skills. Years as a dancer inspire her sense of poetry in the body.

Iyengar yoga teaches stability and openness through alignment so that the flow of energy and the focus of the mind are found in each pose.
