Carrie Godesky
Certified Yoga Instructor
Point Pleasant Beach, NJ
Carrie has been a devoted member of the fitness and wellness community since 1983 when she first became a group exercise instructor and personal trainer at the Four Seasons Health Club, during her freshman year at Glassboro State College, NJ. After graduating with a B.A. in Marketing/Finance Carrie continued teaching classes and working one on one with clients in her hometown of Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. and expanded her services in healthy lifestyles by founding a school food service management company.
After the birth of her third daughter in 1993, Carrie was introduced to yoga at her local health club at the Jersey Shore. Sleep deprived, stressed out and desperate for a little alone time she quickly realizing that her “old” fitness routine was no longer working for her. Rather then feeling energized and engaged after a workout she felt exhausted and disconnected.
Already searching for answers to the “big” questions she became curious about yoga and yogic philosophy. After her first ashtanga practice she knew this was going to be a life changing moment. The clarity, peace and balance she found on the mat were unlike anything she had ever experienced.
Over the next ten years Carrie’s quest to recreate that feeling of “complete centeredness” everyday, all day, lead her to study with renowned yoga instructors across the nation and begin a dedicated practice of personal growth and universal awareness.
Once a teacher always a teacher…In 2003 Carrie received her Teacher’s Certification through YogaFit. Thanks to Beth Shaw and her innovative Teacher’s Training Program, Carrie was able to start giving back and sharing all that she had learned, on this road to “awakening”. With twenty –(20) years of prior group exercise and personal training experience and a committed personal practice, YogaFit was the perfect fit for Carrie.
Today Carrie is “living” her yoga and enjoying her life guiding hundreds of yogis during Beach yoga classes at the Jersey Shore. Her classes are a vision to see, yogis of all ages coming together to practice ocean side, in the sea air and sun. In addition, Carrie is the designer and C.E.O. of Twisted Guru, a beach yoga mat company and co-owner of the I’mALocal Beach Café and Cabana Club also located in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ. During the winter months Carrie can be found leading classes at local community studios or on a tropical island guiding vacationers & locals at paradise yoga retreats.
