Carole Schmitt, RYT-500, Yoga Instructor
Carole believes life is better with yoga and chocolate. She credits yoga with helping her navigate through breast cancer. She realized how things she learned “on the mat" gave her the tools to deal with life “off the mat.” Yoga has taught Carole to be more in the moment, breathe through the tough times, and recognize her inner strength.
Carole graduated from the Breathe for Change 200-Hour Wellness and Yoga Teacher Training in Madison, WI (Summer 2018). She first started practicing yoga with Elizabeth when Barefoot Lizard Yoga opened in 2013. Carole recently completed her 500-hour yoga teacher certification.
Carole is originally from Wisconsin but has lived in Georgia for many years. She is married, has 2 adult daughters and 2 rescue dogs. She works as a school based occupational therapist when not practicing yoga, and hopes to bring mindful movement to more educators and students.
Carole brings a playful and creative style to her yoga classes. She hopes to empower others to practice “well-being” and “self-love” in their lives, relationships and communities.
