Carmela's
23 years of experience in the wellness industry, coupled with a deep
understanding of yoga, place her at the forefront of personal wellness
instructors in North America. Carmela has the
expertise to blend many techniques into a single discipline, accommodating each
individual she teaches. After many years of intensive aerobic workouts led to
injury, Carmela knew that she needed to pursue a different discipline--yoga. In
yoga, she found a great reservoir of knowledge and understanding of the
mind/body connection. She applied her fitness discipline to yoga and quickly
became one of its leading proponents in the mainstream media.

Carmela’s new path continued as she
introduced yoga to professional athletes in the CFL, NBA and NHL and prima
ballerinas in the National Ballet of Canada, as well as actors and business
professionals. She created a program for Bally Total Fitness facilities, was a
Reebok master trainer, and has been a regular presenter at the CAIN, CALA and
CANFIT conferences. Carmela has appeared on numerous television series
including 'Real Life' and 'Canadian Living Television' for Life Network,
'Breathing Space Yoga' for W Network and ‘CP24’ for Chum Television. Carmela
continues to explore the vast landscape of yoga. Her enthusiasm for practice
and study has led to opportunities such as the rare privilege of studying with
such teachers as Dharmanidhi Saraswati (Classical Hatha Yoga and Meditation)
and Kit Laughlin of Australia
(Stretch & Flexibility Therapist), as well as Ashtanga Yoga study with
Chuck and Maty Ezraty in California, and Ron
Reid (Downward Dog) in Toronto.
As the director of Yoga Plus . . . at both
the Toronto and Richmond
Hill locations and as the director of Ashtanga Teacher Training at
the Toronto
location, Carmela continues to share her love of yoga with yoga teachers of the
future.
