Namaste

You may have seen my videos or posts on social media. Glad that you are here to find out more.

I am Carol (Saraswati) and have been teaching movements for more than 20 years. I used to be a dancer, instructor for pilates & dance, choreographer & entrepreneur…all at the same time. Basically, doing too much! I took a break and it led me on a new path of balance and spirituality. I also realised that my first love is teaching. Here I am, doing what I truly love and helping the people that resonate with my teaching methods and my energy. I believe in positive energy as I know that by integrating breathing, movements and mindfulness practices will ultimately help us to live pain free for life.
Living in Singapore, I have met many young and working adults suffering from mental and physical stress. Living in a city is not easy and especially during a time of constant rapid changes. If we focus on external solutions, we will find that the stress and chronic pains will return.

I highly recommend integrating yoga, pilates and mindfulness in your practice as it will enhance your physical and mental health. We need movements to stay strong and the mindfulness approach allows us to turn inwards (feel our breaths) as we move mindfully.
I help both undergraduates in university and working adults to improve their postures and reduce chronic pains or injuries. With more than 20 years of teaching experience, I am confident and comfortable that I will be able to advise you accordingly. Speak soon.

what our students say

Her exercises are well explained and easy to follow and on top, very effective.

I’ve been suffering from strong tensions in neck and shoulders for a very long time. Before taking up Pilates lessons with Carol a few years ago I haven’´t been aware of my body and my breathing. Carol helped me in creating body awareness and taught me how, proper breathing helps to release stress and body tensions. She is an excellent and very experienced teacher! Her exercises are well explained step by step and easy to follow and on top, very effective. I highly recommend Carol’s classes!

practising with carol has an enormous impact on my mind and body

It was pure serendipity that Carol popped up on my FB feed. I was floundering around looking for a way to anchor my wellness. A strong core, form and posture is key to daily living, physical pursuits including yoga, and mental one like meditation. Practising with Carol has had an enormous impact on my mind and body, and put me in touch with the space within, in deep, loving and subtle way. Each class is a moving meditation, which really resonates with me. It’s not easy finding the right teacher. And for this, I am immensely grateful.

MY FROZEN SHOULDER HAD RECOVERED UNKNOWINGLY WHILE PRACTISING BREATHING PILATES

A couple of years back, I suffered from frozen shoulder. I went to chiropractor but couldn’t get it healed. Thereafter, I chanced upon Carol from her Facebook post on The Breathing Pilates.
My shoulder had recovered unknowingly while practising Breathing Pilates with Carol. Never in my wildest dream did I ever thought this was possible

learnt to listen to my body, be kinder to myself and grown stronger

I had severe lower back pain from mild scoliosis. I have since improved my posture and feel more connected to my body than I have ever been.
Carol taught me how to connect movement, mind and breathing. I have learnt to listen to my body, be kinder to myself and grown stronger through consistent practice. Unlike other classes that push you and end up hurting you. Carol’s classes show you how to let your body guide you for long-term health goals. She teaches with so much grace and compassion, and truly embodies the yogic spirit. My physical and emotional energies are always lifted at the end of her class.

For men with chronic pain, this method is an excellent way

As someone new to pilates and dealing with chronic pain, I wasn’t sure if Pilates was the right fit for me, but the Mindful Pilates course by Carol has proven to be highly effective in reducing my pain. Targeted exercises, combined with mindfulness techniques, have helped ease tension and improve my posture.
I felt stronger and more flexible. For men with chronic pain, this method is an excellent way to manage discomfort, I highly recommend it.

I have spinal fusion at l4/l5…I am able to function better

I have spinal fusion at the L4/5 vertebra and have chronic lower back pain. During the Breathing pilates Course by Carol, I learnt the importance of connecting my breath to my core muscles which ultimately supports my spine. She emphasizes on engaging the correct core muscles for each exercise while making sure that we maintain correct form and posture. I find that I am able to function better in my daily routine after attending the course.

Michelle

one of the best things I could have

Having online pilates/yoga studio with Carol was one of the best things I could have. Because it’s online, I can focus on my own movement, my breath and being present without comparing myself with other students.
The classes are well structured, focusing on the fundamentals. The pace is just right, with a lot of care on not over-reaching while progressing safely from basic to more advanced exercises.
There’s a lot of core engagement once we go into the details, though the exercises may look simple.
After my regular Pilates sessions, I am more consciously engaging my core and finding proper alignment during my training and workouts. I feel more balanced, enjoying the benefits in a sustainable way.

MY MIND IS REFRESHED, READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD AGAIN.

I particularly enjoy the mindfulness aspect of The Breathing Pilates. Each session is that one hour of time and
space that I dedicate to myself, my body and just the
awareness of my breath. I feel that my body is stronger
after each session, my mind is refreshed, ready to take on
the world again

Mindful Pilates is an approach I have never seen and it’s very important for me…

There is a lot of valuable information in the online course, and I know a lot of people will benefit from it. Thank you for taking the time to put it all together and offer it to the public. Mindful Pilates is an approach I have never seen, and it’s very important for me at this time in my life. I think it’s always beneficial to review the basics of Pilates, especially when the approach is so unique.

Lessons are not just rejuvenating but therapeutic

Carol is passionate about delivering her best when she conducts her lessons. She walks her talk. All these years as her student, her coaching and energy levels have been consistent. During every lesson, Carol not only guides, she continues to observe each of us diligently despite knowing our abilities and limitations all these years. Her lessons are not just rejuvenating, but also therapeutic. Till today after 5 years, I still enjoy my yoga and Pilates sessions with her. Very thankful to have met Carol 🙂

Carol was very intuitive and very good at motivating me

I did prenatal yoga with Carol both in person and online as my delivery was overseas, and it was really helpful for me. Carol was very intuitive and knew how to adapt the class as the pregnancy progressed. I always had lower back pain issues, the yoga and pilates classes really helped me to stay balanced and be aware of my posture. After delivery, I continued the classes during the post partum period as it was important to gain back my strength and stamina. Carol was really good at motivating me to do more in small steps, which helped me to get back in good shape easily. She was also very compassionate and understanding of the challenges of a new mother.

I truly see improvement in strength, flexibility and posture

I have joined Carol’s online classes since 2021 and I really enjoy both the Pilates and Yoga Class a lot! She emphasises a lot on the form, as well as the basics to prevent injuries and to improve our postures. She provides many variation to cater to individual’s pace, as well as ability. I truly see improvement in strength, flexibility and posture, as I practise with her.

feel a difference in my body… stronger than before

I never regretted taking up this elective and it’s probably my best decision in NTU
(Nanyang Technological University).
Through the weeks of yoga and pilates, I did feel a difference in my body and I feel stronger than before, as well! Thank you for inspiring us with your love and passion for yoga. It’s really amazing!
