Carolyn Anne Budgell

Yoga Instructor

I discovered yoga in 1999 as a ski bum in Whistler and went on to complete a BA in Environmental + Resource Management, working for Environment Canada and in the non-profit sector raising funds for green initiatives. After completing dozens of trainings and intensives around the world, I’m now primarily a meditation and mindfulness guide and coach (and lifelong student!). As an RYT 200 and YACEP, I’ve been educating others through yoga + meditation trainings, retreats & corporate events worldwide for over 15 years. I’ve had the privilege of sharing mindfulness and yoga tools through various platforms: Insight Timer, Wanderlust Festivals, lululemon, Love Your Brain, Mala Collective and many more. Most recently, my personal studies have taken me into the worlds of Breathwork, Yin, Traumatic Brain Injury and End-of-Life Support. Thanks to my guides Ana Forrest, Georgina Eden, Michelle St Pierre, Tara Brach, Schuyler Grant and Clara Roberts-Oss, I lead from an inviting, relatable, and lighthearted place. I will forever passionately encourage others to remember that it’s never too late to breathe deeply, to grow, and to change. With me, you’ll discover tools for the nervous system and mind through mindfulness + meditation, breathing techniques and restorative spa yoga.
