Carrie Baines

I started to obtain as many fitness certifications as possible and found many mentors along the way to help me with my craft. I began my journey teaching yoga in 2003 and have continued to spread my love for yoga throughout the U.S. and world. During and after college, I decided to take some time off (twice) to live overseas training local volunteers on how to educate the members in their communities on health, fitness and nutrition. During this time overseas, realizing that my view of how to live and be well can be skewed from my education/culture. Quickly learning from my new friends how to live a healthier, happier life by being part of a community. For the last 10 years at a local university, I have been sharing with students, faculty, staff and the RVA community the importance of adding movement and mindfulness into their day. Even if it's only 5 deep breaths or a quick yoga pose at their desk . My passion for the fitness and wellness field guided me to open my own business to help motivate, inspire, and grow others to live a healthier and active life. My goal is to support and motivate you to be okay with where you are at in this present moment and take a moment to appreciate what you have in life. Please contact me so I can help you be happier and healthier! Namaste, Carrie
