CAROLINE BRUNO
TEACHER
Caroline is a facilitator and educator off the mat and began teaching yoga after completing Root’s 200 hour teacher training. Caroline first practiced yoga as a teen following VHS tapes with her mom. It took years of circling through movement practices before she found her way back to yoga at Root studio. Classes with Caroline ground into the Earth’s energy to access stability and play through breath and movement. Caroline loves spending time with plants and holds a Masters in Leadership for Sustainability from the University of Vermont where she explored the liminal spaces where connections root deepest.
