Take a deep breath.

Hello and welcome! I'm Carri Manchester, a Yoga (RYT-500) and meditation teacher based near Albany, NY. My classes support awareness of and alignment with our physical, emotional, and spiritual environment. I emphasize personal and social justice, trauma-sensitivity, and compassion within a context of Yogic, Ayurvedic, and Buddhist traditions. In my teaching, I strive to honor the South Asian cultures and communities that protected and sustained these ancient practices for thousands of years.

My personal practice supports balance in my full-time career, family life, self-care, and personal growth. I find joy in sharing these benefits with others.

I completed my 200-hour Yoga teacher training with Pam Medina at The Yoga Lily, a mindfulness meditation teacher training with Cyndi Lee, and a 500-hour Ayurvedic Yoga Teacher certification through the Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health.
