Carolyn Clark
Yoga Instructor
Carolyn (‘Caro’) is a long-time student of Hatha Yoga, Integrative Nutrition, Developmental Psychology and Dance, and holds an advanced Instructors certification with YogaWorks in NYC. Through Vinyasa Flow Yoga, Caro incorporates a deep physical practice into an inspirational class that highlights the benefits of awareness and the process of yoga —coming into, maintaining, and moving out of a pose on the breath—over the goals of simply ‘perfecting’ a pose. Classes are founded upon graceful and continual movement that generates a natural warmth and release in the body, strengthened and deepened through advanced breathing techniques and pranayama.
Through her early work in nonprofits and international welfare service, Caro grew a deep respect for the role of personal boundaries in daily life—to acknowledge and accept our capacity in the moment allows us to develop and progress without force or harm. This idea of development through self-awareness inspires all of her classes, and serves to deepen both the challenge and healing art of all yoga practice.
Her children’s classes focus on imagery, wiggle yoga and yoga games to inspire and delight young ones of all ages. Caro is known as a patient and passionate teacher, and loves to work with students from all backgrounds and all levels of practice.

Bec Conant
Yoga Instructor
Bec started practicing yoga in 1998 while pursuing a career in modern dance in New York. She taught yoga as a supplemental income to her dance career. When an ankle injury ended that career, Bec took the opportunity to dive more fully into her love of yoga and learn as much as she could (a task she continues to this day). She completed the teacher training program at Om Yoga in 2001, and immediately went on to get further certifications in restorative yoga as well as pre- and post-natal. Bec is also certified as a Birth Doula, by Doula of North America. Her experiences have shown her a deep connection between yoga and childbirth -- something she looks forward to exploring further.

Meghan Gardner, RYT
Yoga Instructor
Meghan initially turned to yoga for exercise and pain relief following a sports-related back injury in 1999, and soon found that the benefits of yoga go far beyond physical fitness. Her classes combine the vigorous rhythms of a vinyasa flow with a keen focus on the alignment within and between each posture. Emphasizing a balance between effort and surrender, working hard and letting go, within each practice, Meghan offers an energizing, challenging, fun (and sometimes even funny) experience to students of all levels.
