 Carol Morrissey                                                                 

Carol completed her first  230 hour Teacher Training program in 2002 at the Asheville Yoga School.  Her studies in Asheville were multi-disciplinary exposing Carol to many forms of yoga.  It is during this time that she was first introduced to Anusara Yoga.  Since that time Carol has devoted her time to the in-depth study of Anusara Yoga.  Carol has been fortunate to study with many of the countries leading Anusara teachers, including John Friend, founder of Anusara Yoga.
 
To build upon her more than 300 hours of Anusara training, Carol will begin a Anusara Yoga Teacher training in September 2008 under the exceptional guidance of three certified Anusara teachers; Kelley Gardner, Sarah Faircloth and Stacey Collins.  Carol has been inspired to study Anusara as a path that leads beyond flexibility and muscle tone.  Anusara, which means 'opening to grace' is meant to be a practice of the heart.  By practicing yoga with inspired physical alignment we take our bodies out of pain and discomfort and allow yourself to line up with something bigger than the self.  That deep connection unveils to us all the beauty that the world has to offer.
 
In addition to her ongoing yoga practice Carol holds a Bachelor's degree in Nursing and is completing her Master's degree in Holistic Nutrition.  She lives by the sea with her husband , two amazing daughters and several pets.
