Don’t Fear Your Light: Carolyn Pedersen-Howard
Carolyn is half Danish half Brazilian and grew up in the Philippines. She loves people, cultures and food and of course yoga! Yoga has been a part of her life since she was 18 when she first discovered the practice. After a career as an Executive Recruiter, she took a leap of faith and embarked upon her first teacher training in 2012. Then, following several corporate moves, she finally took the seat of the teacher in 2019 after an intensive 1.5-year yoga mentorship.
Carolyn believes that yoga makes the world a better place and that is her intention every class. She empowers her students with lots of options leaving them feeling stronger and rejuvenated after each class. To learn more about Carolyn: www.CPH-Yoga.com

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ~Theodore Roosevelt~
“If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.” ― Theodore Roosevelt
Our Deepest Fear – Marianne Williamson
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us;
It’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we’re liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
~Marianne Williamson
