Colynn

Carolynn Vosburgh, a Canadian Registered Nurse/Medical Student turned Yoga Instructor, brings her unique flair of west meets east to a sometimes boring subject. After specializing for over 17 years in the Emergency Room, the current state of the medical system encouraged Colynn to leave her medical career and pursue a new one, one that would impact the health of the world more positively, teaching yoga. Her knowledge of the body, dis-ease, injury, prevention, and health, and her fun, easy-going nature combine to create an interactive, experiential and exciting class that offers the knowledge necessary to understand body mechanics, safely instructing students through asana practice, and yet bringing awareness to the philosophical and traditional healing methods and understanding the impact of self-related to physical health. Carolynn has practiced yoga for over 19 years and chose to increase her knowledge of yoga by attending a teacher training over 5 years ago, which coincidently started at the same time her shortlist to medical school came through. It was apparent to her almost immediately that Medical School was not the answer to health care burnout, living her passion, supporting people in self-healing, and empowering women. Fresh out of yoga teacher training, Carolynn was asked to teach the anatomy portion of a YTT and it wasn’t long until Med School and nursing were histories. Carolynn has participated in over 14 YTTs as an anatomy instructor and has also co-facilitated her training. Carolynn has also been visiting Costa Rica for over 4 years, running several retreats and eventually making it one of her home bases, now that she lives the nomadic lifestyle.
