I just spent an amazing weekend attending Cara's Free the Pelvis workshop sequence. Her methodological approach is meticulously structured and starts with the feet, progresses through the pelvis, and then addresses the spine. Cara delves deep into each section of the kinetic chain, making complex techniques both approachable and intuitive.
For years, I have struggled with chronic, low-grade pain in my knees and lower spine, stemming from numerous minor misalignments that collectively disrupted my posture and gait. As Cara progressed up the chain, we were able to not only address each of these issues but to enhance space and mobility throughout my body.
What stands out about Cara’s teaching is its holistic impact. Although the approach is sequential, focusing on specific areas, the cumulative effect is far greater, bringing about a profound sense of release and mobility even in areas we had not focused on. Moreover, Cara fosters a sense of community among participants, creating an environment where support and shared experiences amplify the healing process.
A phrase from her website resonated deeply with me post-workshop: “Free Your Feet - Free Your Pelvis - Free Your Spine - Free Your Mind.” It succinctly captures the essence of my journey with Cara's program — a pathway to relief and freedom of movement that I hadn’t felt in years.
To those contemplating Cara's workshops, I recommend them wholeheartedly! Her program isn't just a series of exercises; it's a holistic exploration that transforms and heals. Embark on this path, and discover the profound wellness and effortless fluidity...
Read moreI had the privilege of working with Cara during my pregnancy, and I’m so grateful for her expertise in body movement and pelvic health. She guided me through labor preparation using breathwork and labor positions to opening up the pelvis. We worked on gentle movements, teaching me stretches that helped open my body. Every time she left a session, I felt completely relaxed and at ease, as though my body had been transformed.
With our work together, I'm so proud that we were able to intentionally set and achieve the goal of having an empowering birth experience.
As my belly grew, I mentioned struggling to find a comfortable sleeping position, and Cara showed me how to arrange pillows in ways that immediately made me feel like I was sleeping on clouds, all with the pillows I already had! Cara has always created such a safe and welcoming space, and she’s a joy to be around. Her wisdom, passion, and gentleness extend far beyond yoga, and I highly recommend working with her 1:1 to help you reach your personal...
Read moreI cannot rave about Cara more!
Her ability to communicate both verbal and non verbal cues has drastically impacted my ability to get more depth and strength out of countless postures. She folds anatomic knowledge into the foundation of everything she teaches, which is amazing for preventing strain on the body throughout practicing and gives you much deeper leverage to work with.
And not only is she incredible on a technical level, but I love her energy. My nervous system always feels incredibly calm and focused at the end of my practice, and I often find myself smiling throughout it because it can also be so playful and fun. I very often disassociate, but I always feel extremely present and in my body when...
