I have been attending the ‘Going Deeper into Yoga’ class with Carolyn for the past 15+ years. My primary focus upon joining the class was to learn proper form performing yoga postures. Little did I know how much more I was to gain from Carolyn. Each class offers focused attention to the breath working toward achieving a meditative state. She also provides a beautiful understanding of the pranas by connecting mind, body and …
breath to each asana. To further bring the energy of the class into a deeper state, she teaches us Vedic chanting. I find myself using these chants internally, almost daily, as a way to draw myself into a moment of peace when I feel chaos. This studio, instructor, and class are a true gem.

I’ve been taking Yoga/Meditation classes at BlueWater Yoga studio in Red Wing, MN for 15+ years now. The studio itself offers the perfect vibe for what I think every yoga student is looking for: peaceful, simple, spacious and attractive. The teachers have abundant knowledge about the correct way to do the postures to benefit the most. After class I always feel at ease and rejuvenated.

I began practicing with Bluewater Yoga in 2010 and completed Teacher Training in 2020. Carolyn’s teaching, the peace of Bluewater studio and our beautiful sanga was pivotal to my personal growth and practice. Learning and chanting the Yoga Sutra brought insight to my understanding of yoga. Carolyn’s integration of her personal experience with the Krishnamacharya yoga tradition brough depth to practice that I continue to appreciate to this day.

I completed Carolyn’s teacher training program in 2023. She has an amazing ability to translate her vast knowledge of all aspects of yoga and Vedic philosophy and chanting into easily understandable language. Even more importantly, she recognizes what matters in life and helps her students find that meaning for themselves. She is a wonderful teacher, with solid integrity, and I wish I had a more flexible work schedule so I could continue to absorb her wisdom!

I have been taking yoga and Vedic chant classes from Carolyn at Bluewater Yoga for many years now and I feel that I’ve found a home and community at Bluewater. Coming to the studio and learning from Carolyn feels like what I always believed yoga should be about…not just an exercise class, but an entire system that guides us to find inner peace. Thank you, Carolyn!

Bluewater is absolutely beautiful. Carolyn is so full of information and hands on experiences. Couldn’t be happier with my choice in Bluewater Yoga Studio. However, I do wish I would’ve found this studio sooner!

I have been attending classes with Carolyn for close to 20 years and recently completed
the 200-Hour yoga teacher training with Carolyn at Bluewater Yoga Studio.
One word – Inspiring.
Taking yoga teacher training was a life-changing experience. It was one of the most
incredible awakenings of my spirit, my heart and my understanding of yoga. I loved
learning and reading about ancient yogic texts, the foundations of asanas, …
yoga
philosophy, yoga anatomy and so much more.
The training and her classes always exceed my expectations in every way.
Carolyn has studied and traveled extensively all over the world and has been taught by
the best! She is committed to excellence in her profession and her talk is her walk.
Her knowledge, insight, and genuine investment in each and every student in class and
in training was obvious from day one. I believe her guidance has truly helped me to
better understand myself . My own personal practice has continued to grow and be
enriched. It has enhanced my motivation to share yoga with family and friends,
empowered me in other areas of my life, and built friendships that I will forever treasure.
If you are looking for a meaningful, thorough yoga teacher training program or a yoga
class experience, look no further. This is an eye opening, life changing opportunity.

My curiosity about yoga brought me to Bluewater Yoga Studio almost 14 years ago. I walked into the studio knowing absolutely NOTHING about yoga. What began as an individual session with Carolyn Hedin quickly turned into regular practices at home and attending weekly group classes. I wanted to continue my yoga journey to learn more and deepen my understanding of yoga and further develop my practice.
While I had no real intention of ever teaching, I nonetheless enrolled in Bluewater’s 200hr yoga teacher training in 2019. I gained a greater appreciation for yoga by learning more about the origins of yoga philosophy and the link between the body, breath and mind through asana, pranayama, and meditation practices. The training was empowering and transformative and provided me with a new way of thinking and my outlook on the world around me. Bluewater Yoga Studio isn’t just a place to stretch your body, it’s a place to stretch your mind. I couldn’t be more grateful to Carolyn for making Bluewater Yoga Studio a welcoming and educational space for individuals looking to begin or continue their yoga journey.
