About Carroll Ann:
Aside from co-owning AYC and the Ivy Yoga School, she directs the Mysore Program and Apprentiship. She has practiced yoga since 2001 and has over 10,000 hours of teaching experience and over 1400 hours of teacher training in the Integral Yoga School.
Carroll Ann is deeply committed to the Mysore method of yoga teaching and practice. studying intensively with R. Saraswathi Jois in Mysore and assisting her at KPJAYI. She studied with Dr. M.A.Jayashree in Mysore, learning Sanskrit chanting and yoga philosophy.
She has been a yoga student for 25 years, a yoga teacher for over 20 years, and was introduced to the Yoga Sutras during her first teacher training in 2007, where she thought that they were obscure, confusing, and disconnected from her own experience of life and practice. In 2013, I met Dr. M.A. Jayashree in her living room in Mysore, Karnataka, India. She slowly and patiently, with much love and focus, started to teach Carroll Ann and other students to chant these short aphorisms. It was so difficult! Chanting the Sutras was like an asana practice for the brain. However, after years of working under her excellent tutelage, she grew from hearing to chanting to knowing by heart. With the sounds of the Sutras resonant in her, she was ready to return to their study.
Carroll Ann practiced under Jennifer Elliot until 2020, and currently studies with Richard Freeman, Mary Taylor and Ty Landrum. She is a EYRT 500, holds a MA in Religious Studies UVA; MDiv Princeton Seminary; BA in Anthropology and Religion from Vanderbilt.
