“YOGA IS MY LIFE. I practice every day. It is important to me that I practice what I preach and I believe in it 100 percent. For me, a big part of that daily effort is trying to understand more than just the physical part of yoga but the metaphysical, the spiritual, even the intellectual,” Arjuna Yoga owner Caroline says. “I am always working on my education in yoga, doing whatever I can to learn. To me, being a good teacher means being a good student.”

Since she opened Arjuna Yoga in 2004, Caroline has spent almost ten years pursuing her yoga education under the tutelage of Indian-born teachers Bikram Choudry, Deepak Chopra and Sanjeev Kumar Bhanot. After becoming certified in Bikram yoga in 2004, Caroline went on to study many other forms of yoga including Vinyasa, Yin, and Astanga. She has made several extended trips to India to gain a better understanding of yoga from a cultural and historical perspective and to deepen her own practice through intensive study and training. With that foundation she was able to create her own 200+ hour Yoga Alliance certified Arjuna Yoga Teacher Training program, providing certification for her students to go out into the world and become teachers, some of whom have gone on to become very successful in Aspen and other parts of the world. Her greatest achievement is to honor her lineage of teachers with an authentic offering of yoga classes practiced in 105-degree heat, the way yoga has been practiced in India for thousands of years.

My first encounter with yoga occurred in the eastern world as I glimpsed into a sacred shala deep in the heart of Rishikesh, a beautiful city nestled in the foothills of the Great Himalayas in India. I was a 19 year old backpacking college student traveling the world in search of truth and enlightenment…with hair down to my shoulders…clad in a flowing white cotton robe from headband to sandals. An old yogi looked up and noticed my stare.. .gave me a smile and gently turned his eyes and head toward an empty yoga mat….I will always remember the power and energy of that room…dimly lit, filled with an exotic potpourri of incense, serenity and complete peace of mind… I had been traveling throughout India observing both the best and the worst of humankind….from dining with a Maharaja to sharing an overcrowded rail car roof with the ” untouchables “…..and could not understand how so many people with so little could have such beautiful smiles and look so deeply into your eyes with love and compassion…My yoga journey had begun….my quest to understand and connect to all that is….I returned to the western world, graduated from the University of Colorado, started my career as an architect and real estate developer, got married and started a family. Philosophically I drifted slowly back to the Western priorities of life…hard work, success and accumulation of material things but I still cherished my journey into yoga and spiritualism and knew some day it would become relevant. It took my love of extreme sports and the need for speed….(ski racing, bicycle racing, motorcycle racing, anything racing)
