Meet Harmony Yoga Owner,
Carol Shwidock
Carol Shwidock, owner of Harmony Yoga, a Kripalu-based practice, integrates the Five Elements of both Ayurvedic and Chinese Medicine to teach students how to heal themselves one breath at a time.
She founded Harmony Yoga following the 9/11 tragedy. At that time, she had been working as an Occupational Therapist for 25 years. Today, a 500-hr. Yoga Therapist, with over 20 years experience as an instructor, Carol enjoys teaching private sessions, corporate classes, and community classes to individuals or small groups as well as facilitating workshops and retreats to help students tune into their own energy for self-healing. Carol has worked with students healing from Anxiety, Depression, Pain, Neurological Disorders, and Orthopedic Issues and has witnessed amazing healing using the energy(prana/chi) of the body.

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!

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.
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!
