Carol Stall
Director and Co-Founder of Namasté
USA
Carol believes she was born to teach and that her
calling is to pass on knowledge and wisdom that can
bring peace and happiness to others. When she found
Yoga in the 1970's, her calling found its roots, and
her goal since then has grown to include assisting
in raising the consciousness of humanity on Earth.
She first began studying Yoga in 1973 and started
teaching yoga classes in 1979 at the request of
several friends and colleagues, who wanted to
explore what Yoga was all about.
Over the years, Carol has been led to a select few,
truly masterful and gifted teachers, who have given method and
intention to her yoga teaching and have nourished her ability to
teach Yoga with a deep, inward focus not always found in what might
be described as “monkey see, monkey do” yoga classes.
She brings to her students the best of what she continues to learn
from many teachers and a variety of yoga and meditation traditions.
Especially significant contributions come from the following, the
best of the best: internationally recognized yoga teachers Donna
Farhi, Irene Beer, Rossella Baroncini, and Vanda Scaravelli; Body
Mind Centering Founder Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen; and Shri Anandi Ma,
a realized Master and spiritual leader of Kundalini Maha Yoga, a
lineage that originated in India thousands of years ago.
Since 1990, Carol has operated a holistic healing and yoga teaching
practice in the Dallas area. In 2003, together with Vicki Johnson,
Carol founded Namasté USA, a
yoga teacher training program based on Vanda Scaravelli's unique and
inwardly powerful approach to yoga asana practice. Prior to this
both she and Vicki mentored yoga teacher training candidates in
association with Namaste' International's 500 hour certification
program. In 2010, Namaste USA's founders had to reconsider whether
to continue yoga teacher training due to newly applied regulations.
Carol is now in the process of completing a book of poetry, written
over a span of about 45 years, a project she has put on the back
shelf for too many years. She is also writing and editing a
collection of quotations from masters of spiritual wisdom that shine
light on the teachings of Yoga and meditation. This book will appeal
to both yoga students and teachers who appreciate Yoga's deeper
practices.
