Hi, I'm Carole!
E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, Lifestyle Coach & Founder of Free Spirited Wanderer
In High School, I knew that I was destined for an unconventional life rooted in travel, yoga & self exploration. I majored in Business Management from Castleton University to gain insight on how to become an entrepreneur. I studied abroad three times; Business at the University of Salamanca, Spain and Buddhist Philosophy in India & Cambodia to feed my adventurous, life-experience and knowledge seeking soul.
I have been teaching yoga since 2014. I completed two 200 hour Yoga Teacher Trainings (Rishikul Yogshala; Nepal 2014 & Y2 Yoga; Charlotte, NC 2022), one 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training (Rishikul Yogshala; India, 2018), two trainings with Para Yoga (Marma 2019 & Four Desires 2022), a year long Ashtanga Yoga Apprenticeship with AYS (2018) and countless immersions and workshops. I deeply treasure each of these life-enriching experiences and am honored to apply this wisdom to my life as a student, and pass it on to others as a teacher.
In 2017, I started leading yoga & wellness retreats so I could share my love of travel, culture, community, health and yoga with others. As of June 2024, I have led 22 retreats to date; 11 within the U.S, and 11 international. In 2020, I stepped into the coaching world to blend my yoga teachings with coaching to create a lifestyle program; helping others to take yoga off the mat and live their most meaningful, fulfilling and authentic lives.
This work has also inspired me to lead Women's Retreats and coaching containers, and create safe spaces for them to feel seen, heard and understood. We connect with one another through discussion, sharing our hearts, yoga practices, meditations, intuitive dance and journaling exercises. The result? Stepping into the woman you were always destined to become with clarity, courage, love and empowerment.
Join me for a yoga & wellness retreat, women's retreat, or 1:1 lifestyle coaching.
"To be involved in a FSW retreat is like food for your soul. As a repeat retreater ( this is my 3rd with FSW) I couldn’t imagine doing it any other way than with Carole. The love and devotion she puts towards every detail of these retreats is incredible. From the accommodation to practice to activities and the food. Not to mention the free time to sit with yourself to laugh, cry, find yourself again and make new friends. She guides you to empower yourself. To know that I am worthy and I matter. Bringing people of like together to stand with each other to strengthen our souls and our practice. I am forever grateful I found FSW With love and gratitude"
