ABOUT CARRIE
OWNER RIIR YOGA RETREATS & YOGA INSTRUCTOR
Carrie began her yoga journey in 2012 practicing Bikram yoga as a replacement for her regular fitness regime. She found her body was starting to break down after a lifelong commitment to intense physical workouts and needed to find something that would be kinder to her body, without sacrificing the physical intensity. What she didn’t expect was the journey she would take to fully embracing a yogic lifestyle.
For Carrie, yoga became so much more than just a physical practice. Yoga became a way of life which created balance and provided her with a clarity that she needed more than she knew. For the past decade Carrie has incorporated a variety of yoga styles in her daily practice and has completed certifications in Vinyasa, Rocket and Yin Yoga.
It was always Carrie’s dream to combine her passion for yoga with her love of food, zest for adventure, and desire to travel and explore new cultures. If only there was a way to bring all of this together and share it with others! In 2020, Carrie’s dream became a reality as she created her retreat business, Root II Rise Yoga Retreats. Carrie was born to be a host; as she loves to meet new people, make meaningful connections, and watch them enjoy all that she has to offer.
