Amidst this loss and the closure of her yoga studios, she leaned into the power of self-belief, universal laws, and community to elevate both her mission and personal growth. She now shares these principles through her signature programs, CarenNotes on Happiness and Youthful Longevity Yoga Training and Retreat., which have been proven to help individuals develop resilience, longevity, and fulfillment by aligning the mind, body, and spirit.
