Open Arms Yoga

Hi, I am Carolyn and the principle teacher and founder of Open Arms Yoga and I am dedicated to creating safe yoga spaces – spaces that are invitational, collaborative, with ‘the Caz’ touch of humour. Combining the traditions of hatha yoga with accessible, trauma sensitive yoga. There are weekly group classes and private 1-to-1 sessions available across the week.

Yoga truly began in 2010 and I haven’t looked back. It offered support through one of the most vulnerable times of my life, after a traumatic event. It helped me to feel safe inside and out, and re-discover confidence, grace and humour again.

2011 – present – beginning with 4 incredible years of consistent practice with Januta Ribinskas (who I still do a weekly class with)

2015, I began teacher training with the Australian College of Classical Yoga and Swami Shantananda, which included non-dualist still-mind meditation. It is this training which is the foundation of the practice and all that yoga truly is. A lineage that traces back to Bhagavan Nityananda of Ganeshpuri.

I love to continue my student and teacher development and to draw upon my mentors in order to maintain consistency and quality across all classes.
