Yvonne Caro Caro

A certified Intermediate Junior II Iyengar Yoga teacher and Registered Yoga Alliance Teacher (RYT-500 and E-RYT 200), Yvonne Caro Caro has been pursuing her interest in Hatha Yoga since 1991. Under the auspices of The Fire of Yoga she currently teaches private lessons, group classes and multi-day workshops and retreats in online, in-person, and hybrid formats.

She has studied with B.K.S., Prashant and Dr. Geeta Iyengar in Pune, India and is a graduate of the Teacher Training Program of the Iyengar Yoga Association of Southern California (IYASC). 

In 2017, Yvonne completed the first-ever, three-year, Iyengar-Yoga Therapeutic Teacher-Training Program, and she received certification in Yoga Therapy from the International Association of Yoga Therapists. As a Senior Standardized Patient Educator at the David Geffen School of Medicine, UCLA, Yvonne’s teaching and yoga therapy sessions are enriched by her background in the medical field, a deep respect for best practices and evidence-based learning, and detailed attention to the practical applications of Iyengar Yoga.

Yvonne has worked as an actress in theatre, television and film in her native Puerto Rico and internationally for over 30 years and holds a Master in Fine Arts (M.F.A.) in acting from UCLA’s School of Theatre Film and Television. This artistic background allows her classes to be uniquely dynamic, entertaining, and infused with profound empathy and an experiential understanding of the human body.

Yvonne teaches students to move with intention, precision and safety, always in a spirited and engaging way.
