Meet Carol Bolton:

Carol has been practicing yoga since the mid-nineties and teaching at Bay Area Yoga Mindful Movement & Healing Center in Green Bay since 2009, which is where she received her teacher training. In 2018 Carol began to explore the

therapeutic benefits of yoga and is currently enrolled in an accredited training program to become a certified yoga therapist with the IAYT (International Association of Yoga

Therapists) organization. Her training has included many different lineages and methods including the Aștanga system and form of yoga. She utilizes the Vinyasa style which combines the flow of movement and breath to create a

focused, dynamic practice, emphasizing pure movement and appropriate alignment for each practitioner.

To help students grasp the subtle nature of the poses and how they affect the body, mind, and breath, her teaching methods include careful observation of and effective cueing for movement, stillness practices, breath practices, and the use of props. Learning to be truly

present with her students has been one of the most important skills she attributes to effective and caring instruction. Her students have experienced greater ranges of motion,

increased strength, and for many a decrease in pain. 

Carol’s other passion is interior design. She believes that there is a strong connection between the spaces that we inhabit and the ways that we feel and live. Form and function, as well as harmony and balance, pertain not only to the places we occupy, but also to our

bodies and our minds.
