MEET CARRIE: A JOURNEY OF YOGA, PASSION AND ADVENTURE
Carrie’s yoga journey began in 2012 when she turned to Bikram yoga as an alternative to her usual fitness routine. After years of intense physical workouts, her body was starting to show signs of wear, and she sought a practice that would be gentler yet still physically challenging. What she didn’t anticipate was the profound transformation that would lead her to fully embrace a holistic yogic lifestyle.
For Carrie, yoga evolved into much more than just a physical exercise; it became a way of life that brought balance and clarity she hadn’t realized she needed. Over the past decade, she has immersed herself in various yoga styles, including Vinyasa, Rocket, Yin, Yoga Nidra, and Myofascial Release, earning certifications in each. In November 2025, she expanded her expertise by becoming certified in Mat Pilates, drawn to its focus on precision, control, and core strength—a perfect complement to her yoga practice that she is eager to share with others.
Carrie has always dreamed of blending her love for yoga with her passion for food, adventure, and cultural exploration. In 2020, that dream came to life with the launch of Root II Rise Yoga Retreats. For Carrie, connecting people is not just a joy—it’s her purpose and her superpower. After hosting over 25 retreats worldwide and welcoming hundreds of attendees, she has witnessed true magic unfold time and again. This work resonates deeply with her soul; it’s what she was meant to do. Carrie looks forward to the opportunity to host you somewhere in the world in the future, creating meaningful experiences that inspire and transform.
