About Me
Meet Caroline
Welcome to Greenlights Yoga -
I’m Caroline.
I’ve always been fascinated by nature, the human body and behaviour, and how deeply we’re influenced by the world around us.
My curiosity began at a young age when I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition.
Learning to live with pain, limited energy and a body that felt different shaped how I understand movement, mind set, rest and self-awareness.
Previous experience as a paramedic, nursery nurse and within special needs education also taught me how differently we all respond to life and the importance of meeting people exactly where they are.
It’s these lived experiences that sit at the heart of
how I teach today.
My love of nature, Yoga and community have immersed me in many meaningful moments, which I share and weave into my Yoga practices.
In 2015 I started my Yoga Teacher Training and I’ve not looked back. I TRULY love what I do.
My Approach
There is no one-size-fits-all. We change every day, and what works one day may not work the next.
My teaching encourages you to listen to your mind & body, move with curiosity and respond with care. It’s not about pushing or perfecting - it’s about creating simple, supportive habits that genuinely make a difference over time.
The idea behind Greenlights Yoga is simple.
Our body and mind are always communicating with us:
-
Green - it feels good to move forward
-
Amber - slow down and check in
-
Red - stop, something doesn’t feel right
When we learn to listen to these signals, we build awareness, create space, and begin to respond to life in a more supportive way.
My Style
My classes are often described as calming, nurturing, inspiring and playful. I bring a gentle, relaxed energy, with a touch of humour and lightness, alongside a deeper understanding of how the body and mind work and the philosophy elements of traditional Indian Yoga .
For me, yoga isn’t about being flexible, perfect poses or calming the mind completely. It’s about how we respond to being human. Observing the mix of challenges and calm in day to day life and learning how to come back to yourself time and time again.
What I Encourage
-
You are your own best teacher
-
Honour your body and your pace
-

-
Be curious, not critical
-
Soften to find strength
Reconnect - Reset - Recharge
Community
I believe we are not meant to walk through this life trying to do everything alone. Community, connection and sharing of knowledge and life is key to our wellbeing.
Over 25 years ago I started the practice of Yoga. It has brought me together with the most beautiful people and teachers, for which I’m forever grateful.
My classes and retreats are very much about people coming together and allowing time and space to one’s self.
Experience & Training
My teaching is supported by a wide range of training, continued study and lived experience, allowing me to offer a thoughtful, informed and adaptable approach.
