Joolee
Joolee began her yoga journey in 2006 in Antarctica when she attended a weekly class for a few months. At the time, she was of the mindset that you had to do something like running or yoga every day in order for it to make a difference. When the season ended, she stopped doing yoga, and as the creakiness set in, she realized just how much that one weekly class had helped her entire being. She was a convert! Since 2011 she has been teaching Restorative, Acro, AcroFit, Sampoorna, Vinyasa, and Five Elements classes, from Antarctica to Puerto Rico to Alaska and Pennsylvania. Additionally, as an LMT, she specializes in Thai massage and believes that sprinkling a little healing touch around (for those who opt-in) can be grounding and glorious!
​
Life can be beautifully hectic. Restorative yoga is here to help balance out that energy.

After studying all across the globe, from Austin, TX, to Alaska, to India, and beyond, the roots and intention of yoga became apparent and began to shape and shift her approach to the practice. Carly's classes emphasize breathing and working a measured and intentional path toward strength, balance, and self-observation.
