Welcome to “Carter's Virtual Yoga Studio”. This is a place where we can practice, move, sweat, breathe, feel, laugh, rest and restore. And you can do it in the comfort of your own home, or wherever you like.
This virtual studio will be facilitated by Zoom video conferencing and allow me to offer classes in an interactive setting. Classes will be limited to 11 participants, so I can see every participant if they choose to video themselves. This way, I can offer verbal adjustments, suggestions and answer any questions immediately. More importantly, I will be able to watch you move in and out of the asana and create the practice accordingly - the way I enjoy teaching in person.
Investment options:
Drop-in ~ $12 for 60min classes
Drop-in ~ $8 for 30min classes
10 Class pass ~ $100

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why are you using Zoom?
My goal is to achieve more interaction with my community, be able to answer questions, offer adjustments or modifications, and design the practice in response to the overall energy in our virtual studio space. Furthermore, a considerable number of people in my community do not have a Facebook account and have been unable to practice with me ever since studios were closed in mid-March.
Are you going to continue to share your yoga practice via Facebook Live?
Yes, I am going to continue to share my yoga practice via Facebook Live in a reduced fashion and on a donation basis. This is to provide an opportunity to those in our community who are financially affected by the Covid-19 pandemic so they can continue to practice yoga with me.
Why is class size limited to 11 participants?
There are two main reasons. First, I am still getting used to the Zoom platform and want to make sure it works well. Second, everyone will be invited to share a live video of their practice to create a much more interactive yoga session compared to Facebook Live Streaming that only works one way (me streaming to you, but not vice versa). In Zoom, I can comfortably fit 12 video images on my screen (11 students plus my own). I want to be able to see everyone well enough to create intimacy in class, make adjustments, give suggestions and create a practice that aligns with the overall energy. If a class is already full when you are trying to sign up, email me to be waitlisted by responding to the newsletter you received. Following demand, I will be adding more classes quickly in an effort to accommodate everyone. I am starting out with three classes/week to see how it goes and we will move from there.
I cannot use the Zoom app on my computer. How can I still join your classes?
It will be possible for you to join the zoom classes from your browser (web client). The feature works best using Google Chrome, but other browsers may work as well with more limited features. You do need to create a Zoom account to be able to join my yoga sessions.
When and how will I get the Zoom join info?
I will be mailing out the Zoom join info to the email address provided at registration about a half hour before class starts.
