Caren Morningstar has been practicing Yoga for 29 years, has studied with many teachers of various Yoga styles and became inspired to teach when she studied with Nancy Long of Gentle Healing in Marblehead in the early 90's. Nancy is a Kripalu certified teacher. Caren realized that she had finally found the style of Yoga that spoke deeply to her soul and with which you may be familiar because of the highly acclaimed yoga center in our region, Kripalu in Lenox, Massachusetts. After a number of years of study with Nancy, Caren chose to begin teaching her own classes.
Prior to her teaching at Bliss Yoga Studio and Beverly's First Baptist Church, Caren taught at the Ananda Shanti Yoga Studio, the Hamilton-Wenham Community House, the Waring private school in Beverly, Zaimeâ's Tae Kwon Do Academy in Manchester, the Manchester Community Center, Jim Wedon's Network Chiropractic office in Beverly, the Cummings Center Athletic Club, and Yoga Spirit Studios. She has taught adults, teens, and pregnant women.
Caren likes to refer to her style of teaching as "meditation-in-motion". She tends to teach a portion of the class with her eyes closed and encourages her students to do the same. She does this so that the visual data collected while one's eyes are open no longer becomes a factor. With eyes closed, students enter a quiet solitary place inside of themselves and are not distracted by comparing themselves to others nor any feelings that arise in their visual interactions with the students and teacher. She guides her students how to quiet their minds, breathe out tension, pain and fear, and to enter the present moment with conscious intention.
