My approach to yoga
As a dharma and meditation teacher, I weave the esoteric teachings seamlessly with the personal, inspiring students to take the two wings of practice-- wisdom and compassion--into the simple moments that make up the content of their daily lives.
I am deeply connected to the fact that even the practice can become a trap and an identity, in and of itself. It is through humor, lightness, and not taking myself too seriously that I continue to disentangle myself from spiritual materialism, the white supremacist hierarchy, the patriarchy, and the spiritual bypassing that is so prevalent in the wellness world.
“There are teachers who teach yoga and there are teachers who live yoga. Audra Carmine lives yoga. Her wisdom reaches down into the deepest parts of my being and stirs something awake. Her cues bring feeling to parts of my body I wasn’t even aware of. Her tireless devotion to her own awakening inspires me to stay persistent in my own journey. She is all heart when she speaks, yet somehow manages to mirror the raw and sometimes painful truth of this incarnation with strength and vulnerability and grace. I’m in awe of her, and so grateful for this platform that allows me to move and breathe and hear and know from a thousand miles away." “
My approach to therapy
I believe in a slow, deep, and holistic approach that considers all aspects of a person’s life, including their mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical wellbeing. My training is oriented toward working with clients through the lens of mindfulness, attachment based work, somatic approaches including EMDR, polyvagal theory, compassion, and parts work. I also draw on my 15 years of work as a yoga and meditation teacher, which has made me sensitive to the regulation processes of the body, breath, and nervous system. I am honored to guide my clients toward their own self-healing impulse by creating a loving, accepting space to be curious, receive support, and be witnessed with deep presence and attunement. My approach is relational and process oriented meaning that the space between us is a field where deep discovery and growth can occur.
