Caroline Layzell

Caroline Layzell is a Yoga Alliance registered E-RYT 500 who has been teaching and sharing yoga since 2011. She teaches retreats, workshops, and hundreds of public and private classes each year on the island of Nusa Lembongan, Bali, Indonesia, and she also teaches live and online.

She came to yoga from an athletic and competitive running background, with a wish to understand her body better after continued injuries from long distance and track running events. That curiosity still shapes her teaching. Her classes are often focused on particular parts of the body, with detailed explanations of how to reach a pose and where to feel it.

Caroline describes her approach as science plus spirit. She blends modern anatomy and functional movement with nervous system science, Yin Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine, aiming to explain not only how to practise but why. She encourages curiosity and embodied understanding over perfect shapes, so that yoga becomes a sustainable practice on and off the mat.

She leads yoga teacher trainings, including pure Vinyasa 200 hour programs and Yin Yoga, Chinese Meridians and Five Element trainings, as well as trainings in myofascial release and anatomy-based sequencing. Her own studies include a 200 hour Vinyasa Flow training in Bermuda with Michael Watson, a 300 hour Hatha training at Rishikesh Yog Peeth in India, and Yin Yoga with Jo Phee: Yin Yoga and Chinese Meridians in Perth, and Yin Yoga and Myo-Fascia in Berlin. She has also studied restorative yoga with Anne Wanda, Yin and mindfulness with Sarah Power, and shoulders, upper back and neck with Jason Crandell.
