Carrie Winograd Kaufman

Meet Carrie
With a certificate in positive psychology from the Kripalu Center and as a certified yoga instructor with a 14 year teaching career, Carrie truly understands how the busy-ness of life can take its toll on our wellness. It is through this lens that Carrie has developed enLiven as an accessible experience with an intentional purpose focused on helping people practice meaningful self-care and create necessary and sustainable change in their lives. Through her leadership and coaching retreats hosted around the world and now in her local retreat space in Sandgate VT only one hour from her home in Saratoga Springs, NY, she shares her passion and knowledge through creative workshops, sacred movement opportunities, personal coaching, and meaningful connections. Her students claim that she has changed their lives. And, she’s ready to help you change yours too. ​
"I wanted to create experiences for people where they felt completely taken care of, where all the work is done for them, and in addition to the yoga on the mat, we'd also explore amazing places and adventures as a way to live our yoga! A year later I went to Belize and while standing on the shore, I heard a loud voice say "bring a retreat here"...and enLiven Retreats was born. "

Musings on life and transformations. 
"The one constant in life is change.  How we navigate that change is who we are. Creating sustainable change is a more deliberate action and gives us the life we want.  This is what my practice and my life mission is all about."
