About

Hello Everyone! I'm so happy that you're a fan of Bottoms Down. Chair yoga is truly my passion and I hope that you share my enthusiasm for this method of movement to keep us healthier, happier and more mobile.

I started my yoga journey in a mat class with such an amazing instructor. One day after class, she took me aside and suggested that I might enjoy teaching yoga. At first I felt intimidated, not at all qualified. But with her encouragement, I began to study and eventually received certifications to instruct yoga. I saw some of my fellow yogis struggling to get up and down off the floor, which peaked my interest in alternatives. I explored options and eventually received certifications to instruct chair yoga. As a life-long learner, I take continuing education classes to keep my skills honed and learn about new techniques.

It's been a wonderful journey for me, and my husband Mickey (aka Nerdi), to develop and launch Bottoms Down. Keep up the great work and I'll see you next time!

Namaste-

Yogi Carol
