Carrie Klaus

Inspired by many knowledgeable and respected teachers from many different traditions, you’ll find Carrie’s classes to be a mix of serious yoga focus and light-hearted fun. Carrie believes that every person can practice yoga and will help you find your most comfortable pose through the use of props and various modifications. Carrie’s classes also include a good dose of yoga philosophy. Pairing the sister sciences of yoga and āyurveda, Carrie understands that just as nature has her cycles, so do we. Her classes will help you find true balance by honoring the natural cycles of life.

Carrie began her yoga practice in 2006 after the birth of her second daughter. She started yoga as a way to get her body in shape after pregnancy but quickly realized that yoga had so much more to offer. While continuing her physical practice she began to deepen her knowledge of yoga. As a result of experiencing greater peace in her life, Carrie decided to begin sharing her love of yoga with others. She enrolled in teacher training and has been sharing her love of yoga ever since.

Carrie completed her 200-hour teacher training at Eternal Health Yoga under the guidance of Shelli Carpenter and an additional 300 hours of Advanced Yoga Studies at Asheville Yoga Center. In addition to holding a 500-hour certificate and being registered with Yoga Alliance, Carrie also holds a teacher training certificate in Yin Yoga Practice and Theory which she received under the guidance of Paul Grilley. Carrie is also a Certified Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist through the Himalayan Institute.

Carrie has practiced under many amazing teachers including Sharon Gannon, David Life, Doug Swenson, Anna Ferguson, Julie Kirkpatrick, Michael Johnson, Desiree Rumbaugh, Saul David Raye, Libby Hinsley, Leslie Kaminoff, Kathryn Templeton, and many others.

With over 5,000 hours of teaching experience and hundreds of hours of training, Carrie’s classes are rooted in a solid foundation and understanding of the practices of yoga and āyurveda and their evolution and application to our modern experience. Carrie has owned and operated Element Yoga and Ayurvedic Wellness since its inception in 2013. She is also one of the lead trainers of the Element Yoga 200-hour yoga teacher training program.

When she isn’t teaching yoga or watching her daughter compete in diving and gymnastics you’ll find her out in nature hiking or foraging for mushrooms. Carrie also enjoys cooking, creating recipes, reading, and enjoying live music.

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.
