Carol Mermey, RYT 500, iRest Yoga Nidra Level II has been teaching yoga since 2004. She sees yoga as a way to feel the fullness of who we are both on and off the mat and ultimately find more joy and purpose in our lives. Her classes combine a welcoming and encouraging environment with healthy alignment techniques for students to develop strength, flexibility, balance, mental focus and a general sense of well-being and empowerment. Carol is a graduate of the Willow Street Yoga Teacher in Takoma Park, MD, studied Anusara Yoga, and currently trains with Rod Stryker (ParaYoga), and Richard Miller (iRest Yoga Nidra). She completed the Kripalu/Duke University training for “Therapeutic Yoga for Seniors” as well as “Yoga for Healthy Aging” and enjoys teaching yoga to people of all ages and backgrounds.
