Yoga
Carissa has been teaching yoga in the Connecticut area for 6
years. Carissa has studied and completed trainings with Beryl
Bender Birch and David Swenson. Other yoga masters she’s
worked with include David Life, Shannon Gannon, Ana Forrest,
Seane Corne and Bryan Kest. Carissa is Yoga Alliance certified.
Carissa promotes within her yoga classes and private sessions
an atmosphere of fun, focus, and freedom. It is never the
severity of the position one can obtain but rather the peace and
grace inherent within each movement. Her gentle nature and
easygoing approach puts all of Carissa’s students at ease. She
believes genuine self-acceptance is tied to taking care of one’s
self. The ‘real work’ Carissa promotes is much more than
looking a certain way. It is about living life to the fullest and
maintaining a high quality of life.
Carissa instructs several classes in multiple locations. Her
philosophy includes specializing in yoga for weight loss.

Personal Training
Carissa has been a personal trainer for three years. Her
holistic approach includes the physical, mental, and emotional
components that are necessary for true growth. Carissa’s
clients quickly understand that her lessons transcend basic
instruction on how to execute a bicep curl but rather include
training in all facets of our lives.
Carissa lost 90 pounds and has successfully maintained the
weight loss for several years. Her hope is to use this
experience to help others deal with issues surrounding self-
image and to achieve their personal goals.
Carissa offers an in-home, one on one, holistic approach to
strength training and cardiovascular conditioning. Her ability to
assist her clients with stress reduction and lifestyle changes
has them leading more healthy, balanced lives.
She has trained clients ranging in ages 13 - 80.
Remember that you don’t need tons of equipment for these
sessions to be successful.
