Music Classes

I offer private and group classes for piano, saxophone, clarinet, and flute. I also teach music theory and provide aural training. Whether you’re looking for coaching to improve your performance or lessons to ignite a new hobby, I can help you explore your talent and interest no matter your experience level.

Yoga Classes

I truly believe yoga is for everyone and invite you to join me for a public yoga class or private yoga session. I teach yoga at a wellness center, with alpacas on rolling hills, and even a beer yoga class!

About Me

Why I Teach

I inspire students of music and yoga to increase their skill, expand their creative resources, and unlock their greatest potential. Music has always been my passion. At the end of my masters degree in saxophone performance, I was suffering with excruciating pain from repetitive strain injury, scoliosis, and degeneration of my lumbar spine. I could barely walk. That’s when I found the healing power of yoga. I’m on a journey to discover my higher self through this work and to raise up others to do the same.

Why people love Cara

  • Cara brings so much joy to my yoga practice! I’ve learned so much from her above and beyond postures and movements. I’m able to love my body as it is and melt away chronic pain and stress. She is gentle, knowledgeable and most of all fun. Her class is my happy place.

  • I met Cara 4 years ago when I was thinking about discontinuing yoga. Cara was a breath of fresh air! She is a naturally gifted teacher, bursting with joy, enthusiasm, kindness, gentleness, patience and compassion for her students! Cara, thank you for helping me on my journey toward wellness. Namaste!

  • We met Cara when our daughter, Sukriti, was 4 years old. Cara was so patient and loving with Sukriti. Cara taught her to not just play piano, but to love music. Cara matched Sukriti’s learning pace, exposed Sukriti to different music genres, and encouraged her to try and master several diverse songs.

  • Cara has taught me everything I know about music. What I like most about Cara is how she is always wanting to help us. I appreciate Cara because I would be lost in the world of music without her. One of the most important things I have learned from Cara is music is everywhere. I am very thankful to have had her as my teacher.

  • As the parent of a son who took lessons from Cara, I have nothing but wonderful things to say! Cara is firm and serious about them learning, she also is encouraging and fun! She truly loves to teach and loves her students. She’s the very best!!

    Kari
    Parent of Student

  • Cara has been my yoga instructor for two years. There are other yoga classes closer to my home but they simply can’t compete with Cara’s teaching style. She combines instruction with humor, compassion, and philosophy in a way that simply cannot be emulated. I leave her classes feeling better physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The yoga community she has introduced me to have become dear friends and I’m grateful to be among them. She’s a gem.

  • Cara sings the most beautiful song during shavasana. I have only had the opportunity to take one of her classes. She was fun, organic and sang like a bird.
