Cara
- Yoga Teacher
Cara K. Griffin is a yoga teacher, artist, and the founder of Free the Pelvis Yoga, a transformative methodology rooted in the belief that freedom in the pelvis fosters freedom in life. With over 20 years of teaching experience, her approach combines the wisdom of the Krishnamacharya lineage with a deep respect for Hawaiian culture and the sacred traditions of yoga.
As a trauma-informed teacher and movement artist, Cara has developed innovative healing arts programs designed to help individuals fully experience their bodies, express their unique stories, and empower themselves through mindful movement and self-discovery. Whether assisting someone in healing from an injury, improving functional mobility, or enhancing athletic performance, she offers personalized one-on-one yoga programs both locally and online, tailored to meet specific needs and goals.
Cara's teaching journey has taken her across the U.S. and beyond, sharing yoga in studios, leading retreats, and engaging with diverse communities. She has served as a Professor of Yoga at Georgia Southern University, developed yoga programs at SCAD and Savannah State University, and toured nationally to share her work. Additionally, she created a yoga-inspired apparel line that reflects her passion for art, movement, and self-expression.
Deeply committed to people—their bodies, their stories, and their freedom—Cara grounds her classes in precise alignment, functional anatomy, breathwork, and philosophy, while honoring the individuality of each student. Her teaching aims to create safe spaces where students can connect with their inner wisdom, express their truth, and move with courage, strength, and ease.
Teaching yoga is a profound honor for Cara, and she remains endlessly grateful to her students and teachers who have shaped her path. She extends her heartfelt gratitude to all who allow her to share this practice.
