What People Are Saying
I have received regular Vichara sessions from Carol for the past several years. Vichara is an incredibly powerful therapeutic tool which helped me through some major life transitions. Although it seemed very circular at first, over time I peeled away many long-held beliefs that were keeping me stuck in my life. As those beliefs were exposed, I found it easier to open up to new possibilities. Carol is a very skilled Vichara Therapist and I highly recommend these sessions for anyone who is feeling anxious, stressed, depressed or just plain stuck in a rut.

I am not athletic and always hesitate to join new classes, but I wish I had started Svaroopa yoga sooner. I go into class feeling tight muscled and stressed, and leave feeling so much better. Carol is a very experienced and knowledgeable teacher. She is welcoming and corrects your poses in a way that does not feel judgmental (even on the third try). Her instructions and voice are easy to follow.

I highly recommend studying Svaroopa® Yoga with Carol. It has been my pleasure to study yoga with Carol for many years and belong to her community of students. She explains and demonstrates with clarity and grace. Svaroopa® Yoga has enhanced my physical health and overall well being, and is an essential part of my self care.

Taking Carol’s virtual yoga class has been absolutely essential to keep my spirits up during quarantine. It has helped normalize my experience of isolation at home. Hearing her voice each week and having this ongoing support has had a huge impact on making me feel more comfortable in my body and mind

I have been practicing Svaroopa® Yoga with Carol Waite for three years and she is a wonderful teacher and coach. She sets a calming mood, whether in the studio, on Zoom or in her backyard. She carefully explains the poses and what spinal areas are targeted. I look forward to her classes every week.

Carol's Yoga Therapy Sessions are truly unique, and left me feeling lighter, and ready to tackle challenges that lay ahead with confidence, inner strength and a sense of calmness. I highly recommend Carol as a Svaroopa® Yoga teacher to experienced yogis as well as those who are new. You're sure to leave her classes filled with inner peace.

Carol makes her online classes feel as personal as in-person classes, which is not easy for everyone to do. She takes the time to both teach and watch her students. I feel like she brings the wonderful energy of the studio into my home. My body not only feels better after a class, my spirits feel lifted, too.

After yoga I find myself relaxed, refreshed, peaceful, and ache and pain-free. I'm ready to embrace my weekend openly and fully! Yoga improves my sense of well-being.

I have been in Svaroopa® Yoga class now for about 6 months. I have slowly found myself using yoga in some way everyday and I hope to continue for a long time as I feel the teachings have been very helpful with my mental and physical outlook. There is no pressure, just steady encouragement. In today's world that is wonderful.

I had a back problem for many years that interfered greatly with my daily activities. Over a ten year period I tried chiropractic treatments, massage, conventional medicine, and other treatments but only got temporary relief. I then had a Yoga therapy session with Carol. She showed me some simple but very effective exercises that I could do every day to alleviate the pain and heal my spine. These exercises did the trick and today I’m pain free. I highly recommend Carol’s approach to Yoga therapy.

Carol Waite isn't going to force your body into awkward positions, bending your limbs in ways you never dreamed possible. Instead, she'll lead you in a practice helping you to grow your meditation practice, and help you to lengthen and release your spine through gentle stretches and movements. Svaroopa® Yoga is an ancient practice, and one that Carol does a wonderful job teaching. She leads engaging group classes with patience and enthusiasm. I've also enjoyed her private embodiment sessions, where I was able to find peace of mind and body.

The backs of my legs were really hurting but then I had an Embodyment® and I felt great and could walk normally again.
