Carolyn Petramale
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Leila L.
Carolyn is a teacher who marries her talent and ability with solid technique and a great sense of humor. Her practices have helped me build my physical strength and flexibility while probing my limitations, both those I struggle to accept and those I know I can overcome.
Lisa C.
I love Carolyn's yoga classes and her warm, positive influence she creates teaching using stretch, strength and balancing movements. She encourages you to do your best for what your body needs and her knowledge of Universal Yoga is amazing! She accomplished this with light and love and a lot of humor!

My very first class was with Carolyn at Lifetime Fitness. I did not know what to expect, but from that very first class, I was hooked. Carolyn's style of teaching is suitable for all levels. She is welcoming to all students, no matter what their physical background.
I continued to take Carolyn's as well as other yoga classes, however, I felt a stronger mental connection to Universal Yoga. Her classes continually evolve. She changes her sequences weekly and brings humor to each practice. Carolyn continues to enhance her knowledge through trainings with her teacher. I am always excited to take class from her after she returns from Nepal. My personal practice feeds off the energy that she creates in class. She takes pride in continually making her classes better. Her style of teaching is casual and relaxed, but always with a focus on improvement physically, mentally and emotionally. I am blessed to have Carolyn as my teacher.

I've been taking Carolyn's classes for over 10 years. I'm a tennis player, runner and hiker who has struggles with plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinitis. As long as I practice yoga, I no longer have these issues. Carolyn has patiently worked with me in her classes and recognized that we are all at different levels. Even though I am not flexible, my yoga practice has grown. I owe so much to Carolyn. I never thought I could get into a headstand or a bind of any kind! I especially love Carolyn's Universal Yoga classes because I stretch areas which normally don't get stretched, like my shoulders.
Thank you Carolyn!

I've been a student of Carolyn's since my early days of practicing yoga. She continually seeks to expand her knowledge and immerses herself in the practice of Universal Yoga, not only as a certified teacher, but as a student herself. Her teaching is intentional and purpose-filled. She is able to push each student to their individual best while providing wisdom, humor and warmth.

Carolyn is one of the kindest, most encouraging teachers I have ever practiced with. Her approach to class is so supportive and she makes everyone feel like they are good enough to be there! Universal Yoga is such a unique, fun style of yoga, she is perfectly suited to teach it. I always leave her classes feeling better than when I walked in.
