Yoga at the Wellness Center

I believe that a yoga class should create a feeling of happiness, accomplishment and ease, like a great big hug for your soul! Let Transform Wellness Center be your hub where healing happens, and friendships are made.

….my goal is to help my students accept that alignment looks different on every body. It is never necessary to strive for the outward mastery of a pose but instead to focus on how the posture makes us feel. The most skillful yoga moments happen when we allow ourselves to be present, not perfect.

….your yoga mat should be a place where you can move and breathe in ways that feel authentic to you, without any pressure to appear flexible or strong or to move your body a certain way.

….yoga should always feel accessible and uncomplicated.

….yoga should allow you to be present in your body, to process stress, build strength and flexibility, and self-awareness.

Meet your yoga teacher, Carla Dempsey!

I completed my 200Hr YTT in December of 2023, becoming a skillfully certified, trauma informed yoga teacher.

I discovered yoga in 2009 and was immediately drawn to its physical and spiritual healing aspects. As a fitness professional who follows a very rigorous strength training program, yoga provides me with invaluable attributes that promote not only additional strength and flexibility, but also the important aspects of yoga that are rest and recovery, self-reflection, and self-love.

I have practiced yoga all over the world, throughout many military moves, and I am so excited to provide to you a one of a kind yoga experience to call your own.

My classes are focused on functional movement, breath awareness, and the perfect balance between yin and yang -or- strength and relaxation. You will be empowered to be playful and curious in your practice while sometimes challenging yourself to meet your edge, whatever that looks like for you. You can expect moments of free flow vinyasa, creative transitions, and breathwork to deepen your connection to the present moment. I love to finish my classes by guiding you through a nervous system reset during shavasana that soothes the soul with sound healing modalities and meditations.

My mission is to support our community by teaching the importance of physical, energetic, and emotional health.

Please come as you are to my class! Sweatpants, pajamas, $100 yoga pants, $20 yoga pants….this is a judgment free zone.
