Yoga at the ReVision conference
Friday October 24 through Sunday October 26
I was honored to be teaching yoga during activity sessions at the Center for Action and Contemplation ReVision conference in Albuquerque in October.
As the first in a new annual series, ReVision welcomed spiritual seekers, skeptics, and faithful questioners to explore how ancient contemplative wisdom might help us reimagine the institutions, stories, and spiritual practices that shape us.
Yoga class for tech workers
June 18, 2025, 4:00-5:00 pm Pacific time
$25
In this one-hour class, we’ll practice poses and sequences for resilience and focus. The breath is a major part of the way I teach, so the approach is gentle, even though we’ll be doing poses that require concentration. Students have told me “it seems like we’re not doing anything but we’re working at such a deep level.”
At the end of the session, you’ll learn a 5-minute breathing practice you can do on your own.

Slow Art Day
April 5, 2025, 10:00-12:30 pm
Slow Art Day is an international annual event where participants slow down, connect with art in a meaningful way, and enjoy a thoughtful conversation with others.
Join Carol as she hosts Slow Art Day at the de Young Museum in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. Together, we’ll spend one hour looking at just five carefully selected pieces—allowing time to observe, reflect, and engage deeply. Afterward, we’ll gather for lunch at the museum café to share our insights and discuss our experiences.

“I enjoyed stepping away from the daily grind to join Carol's class. I really appreciated the focus on slowing down and breath work throughout the whole class.”

“We don't merely breathe to live, we breathe to become.”
