I have nothing to say about Carolyn. Id give her zero stars, but thats not an option.

Carolyn is easily one of my favorite professors. She makes it clear that she cares deeply about all of her students. A little bit of the religious studies behind the yoga practice were sprinkled in short lectures at the beginning of class (really advanced the experience for me). Will try to take courses from her again in the future.

I am a yoga teacher myself from a 200 hour training in Rishikesh India. Carolyn used puppets and silly voices during class, makes me cringe to imagine one of my teachers from India attending her class. As a westerner teaching an eastern practice it is very important that we honor this ancient practice that is not our own. Take Mary's class instead.

I thought Carolyn was a mediocre teacher the main things that threw me off was how she would talk in funny voices and use puppets. I thought it made the class pretty awkward because no one really found it funny, just cringe. We also did a "grateful journal" for our final which seemed weird for a college level yoga class. attendance was mandatory.

This is a hard one to rate. Teacher is very nice but really aloof. I feel like the chakra portion of the class was more explained than the yoga portion. She would tell us to get into different poses without showing or telling us how first. I felt lost a lot of times which is very discouraging when trying to learn. Doesn't reply to emails.

I dropped the course almost immediately. Carolyn is very unprofessional and will never be understanding with your schedule. She wants you to work around her schedule. I was only in that class for a short period, but I am glad I will never have to take another class with her again.
