Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Arizona Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts

I currently teach Art Online to 7th & 8th graders. I have taught every grade and love the kids so much; I love seeing their projects and the delight in their eyes when they've created Magic!

I received my M.Ed. in Fine Arts Education at the University of Rio Grande and have been teaching Art since 2008. 

My love for Yoga started in 1990 before I had children of my own (who are adults now) and have been teaching Yoga since 1994. Teaching yoga has brought much pleasure to my life and I've had the pleasure of facilitating sessions with Taylor Swift & Band (long ago), the AZ Cardinals, and many other organizations and Yoga events.

You will also find me on the Insight Timer app as a teacher of audio recordings & "live" sessions, which are done on a donation basis.

It is always a pleasure to combine the Poetry of Yoga & Art.

Namaste Friends & Welcome!

Artfully Yours,

Ms. Carrie B
