Carra Simpson

Her intention is to offer classes where these same qualities can develop for others. She began yoga asana practice in 2004 and completed the Glowing Body Teacher Training in 2023. Her asana classes are gentle and alignment-based. She brings focus to awareness of breath and body, strengthening and balance, and finding ample time for rest. She began her practice and study of vipassana (insight) meditation in April 2009 and has spent over 128 days in retreat, as well as offering one year as residential staff at Cloud Mountain Retreat Center. She is currently completing the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program, guided by Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield. Carra lives in rural Knoxville and is a proud okra pickler and chicken parent.
