Why Choose Harmony Yoga?

Private One-On-One Sessions

Are you trying to squeeze yoga into your demanding schedule? Do you struggle to make it to a yoga studio on time? Perhaps you’ve attended a group class but don’t feel like you are receiving the level of attention or hands-on instruction you want. Each private session is personalized to you!

Smaller Class Size

Harmony Yoga is a boutique yoga studio with fewer students in each class, ensuring an intimate experience. Each class is personalized to the students in that particular class and based on their individual needs.

Free Classes

There are many free classes to choose from on YouTube or watch Carol  teach daily on JBTV.org at 6:30 am ET

Carol also has a free meditation on Insight Timer!

Variety of Formats

Save time with the option to choose from in-studio to on-location, to DVDs, to downloadable videos.  Whatever your preference, Harmony Yoga has an option for you!

Community Comments

“Since I started Carol’s Gentle Yoga Class (about 6 wks ago), I feel like a different person (and that’s a good thing). I find being in your class for that hour, centers me and I take the calmness away with me.   I would normally worry and agonize over every decision I made, now I have a more relaxed aura about me and take things as they come. My husband even notices the calmness in me.In addition to emotional benefits I get from your class, my body also  feels the physical benefit. I’m more limber and only see myself getting better and better as I continue on in your class. –KD

I was having a bit of a rough day last week (forget which day) and my wife said “What would Carol say?” So I said, we can find out…and I finally pulled the cards out to show her…she picked the card…It said “Tap your heels and shake your limbs. Let go of your Funk, Junk, & Gunk. Then let it all settle down.” So we both did…and the day got easier & better. So when I have a “moment” I’m going to the deck. Thank you. - JF

“I am extremely thankful for you and your amazing ability to share your healing power and just wanted to pass along my sincere appreciation. –LN

“Imagine being in pain everyday for 20 years, being told by doctors to simply live with it, trying a yoga class and feeling amazing after. It is almost unbelievable! Thank you Carol! Forever Grateful, –SG
