Graduates from Carole’s 800-Hour Teacher Training Program:

I have been actively sharing my love of yoga since finding it for myself in 2009. I “found” yoga in response to a major life event. After practicing yoga for just a few weeks I found I could actually relax and sleep at night. I wanted to share the “Yoga Magic” with others. I call it Yoga Magic because I believe it has a way of providing you what Your mind, body and spirit needs. After initially finding yoga, completing a 200 Hour program, and sharing the Magic for a few years, I was called to further my knowledge and education through Carole Westerman. I started and completed my 500 Hour Certification with Carole. But I decided I couldn’t be done there. I was again called to continue on with the great teacher and mentor I found in Carole to complete 800 hours of yoga trainings and education.

In addition to teaching yoga, I am also a Reiki Master. I received my Reiki training also under Carole. I believe yoga and energy work were made for each other.

My classes are accessible to all. I currently teach private sessions to individuals in their own homes. My favorite types of yoga to teach are nidra, restorative, yin, slow flow, hatha, vinyasa and a combination of them all. I love to bring aromatherapy, guided meditation and Reiki into my classes as requested.

Anita Whittle

Born and raised in North Carolina. Went to Nursing School, specializing in Critical Care. So the love of the human body goes very deep within me. We moved to Nebraska, 18 years ago. During the years my children were in high school, I was introduced to yoga. When I was done with my first month of classes, my body was feeling so much better, physically but also I noticed mentally. I took the 200 hour teacher training , never intended on teaching, but just to enhance my practice. I continue to enjoy yoga and went right into the 500 hour teacher training. Then I started teaching and I realized I actually could take the love of anatomy and use it in my yoga classes. I just wanted to learn more and continued with my 800 hour training through Evolve to Harmony with Carole. The variety of workshops and courses she has offered has benefited me but also the students. I have taught classes in a fitness club for a number of years, assisted living facilities, Cancer Survivors, university students and studio settings. The age of my students are anywhere from 20-90 years old. I always want to be learning.
