Instructors
Carey Burns C.Y.I., C.M.T. Lakeshore Yoga Owner, Certified Yoga Instructor, Massage and Energy Therapist. Carey has studied at the center for yoga
with Jonny Kest in 2006 along with many other Yogis from around the
world. These wonderful teachers have blessed me with wisdom and peace
and enhanced my path for personal growth.
Yoga is one pathway to peace, freedom and balance.
When we have time
without distractions, we gain a greater awareness in our mind and body.
Yoga allows us to search and create so we may gain flexibility on all
levels liberating ourselves from pain. It is in this process with yoga
we begin to understand we also liberate the whole world.
In my own personal journey with yoga since 1997, I have found that
bringing in music, dance, laughter, spiritual inspiration and
harmonious energy make each class a wonderfully balanced experience.
