Kelly Carter 

I began practicing yoga in 2006. It didn’t take long until I started to see the impact the practice was making in my life.  I am passionate about my practice and have the desire to share yoga with the world. I am a certified Baptiste yoga teacher and 500hr certified Dharma Yoga teacher.

Building the Shakti community with my sister Lauren has been one of my greatest accomplishments. This community has come together through a shared love of yoga and continues to grow and expand outside the studio walls. I am inspired by the leaders and teachers at Shakti Power Yoga and leaders from the Baptiste community who motivate me to continue to move forward and expand my boundaries. 

Leading workshops, teacher training, and destination retreats bring me so much joy, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to co-lead retreats with my closest friends and family.  I’m so grateful for the gift of yoga which makes me a better wife, mother, friend and human.

Lauren Farina

I first started teaching in 2009. I am blessed by many teachers in my life and have learned powerful lessons from each along the way. I have learned through this practice every day is an opportunity for growth and to connect with others. I am Baptiste Certified, and my practice and teachings are rooted in the Baptiste Methodology. I am also 500hr and 800hr Dharma Yoga teacher. Through studying with Sri Dharma Mittra I have cultivated more compassion and peace in my life and I am honored to be able to teach the techniques and practices he has shared with me. 

I Co-founded Shakti Power Yoga in Nashville in 2012 with my sister, Kelly Carter. It has been the biggest blessing in my life and biggest teacher. I am grateful for our community and the space we have created together. Teaching, leading Teacher training, International retreats, and building community has brought me purpose and so much joy to my life. I am grateful I can be a service to others by sharing my passion and always continue to be a student on and off my mat.  In my teaching and practice, my intention is to create a powerful connection with myself and others and to be open to what is right in front of me in each moment. I believe kindness, presence, patience, and gratitude is the key to happiness and endless possibilities. Shakti Love.

Travel Insurance

We cannot emphasize more the importance of travel insurance. As we all know, especially as travelers, “life happens.” Whether it’s family, work, mother nature, or a change of heart, it is important to be prepared in case you need to unexpectedly change your travel plans. Often for less than $150, you can purchase a travel insurance policy and be protected in the event that you need to make a change or need to be covered financially prior to or during your trip. 

We have partnered with two insurance companies: Trawick International and CSA Travel Insurance (available for U.S. Residents only).
