Carina Raisman

Carina Raisman has been practicing Yoga for over twelve years and teaching for four. She is certified by Yoga Alliance in Ashtanga Yoga, and complements her practice and teaching through various forms. Her main sources of inspiration are Satyananda and Anusara. Carina’s academic history shows clearly her interest in Health Sciences. Graduating with honors from the First Choice Health program at Dawson, she continues to deepen and broaden her quest for health at McGill University, obtaining a BSc in Microbiology and Immunology. Her studies have provided her the opportunity to study abroad, at the Faculté de Pharmacie in Montpellier, France, allowing her to enrich her knowledge in many fields, namely pharmacology, homeopathy, and plant-therapy. Dance, bodywork, and macrobiotic nutrition have helped her to see what cannot be seen under a microscope: health cannot be pinpointed to a part or a particle, if not the delicate balance of all parts working fluidly together. At the present, Carina is devoting time to bridging the gap between modern medicine and Yogatherapy. Through research and collaboration, Carina aims to integrate Yoga into the public health system, making Yoga accessible to all.
