Carrie Kaufman

Carrie Kaufman is a business professional but her true passion is fitness and yoga.  She started teaching yoga at her own studio in Los Angeles, CA in 2001.   The emphasis at the studio was finding a way for busy new moms to get back into shape without compromising time away from their babies.  The studio focused in mommy and me and had kid fitness classes in tandem so moms could practice yoga simultaneously.   The studio had other classes geared towards new moms like stroller fit.   

Life circumstances caused Carrie to move to the east coast.  Here she became a group instructor at the YMCA teaching spinning, boot camp and circuit training.  In 2008 she obtained her 200 hour certification in yoga from Yoga Alliance from Gopi Kinnicut - a student of Shiva Rea and Anna Forest.   The focus of the training was vinyasa flow and alignment.  Since then, Carrie has been teaching to advanced yoga studies in local studios as well as beginner students at the YMCA in her home town.  Carrie's instruction is powerful but simple enough for a beginner to understand and embrace.  Her warm personality and unique humor allow her to appeal to a broad range of students in age and level.
