Sip, Stretch, and Release Yoga
Sip, Stretch, and Release Yoga
Carly teaches a Sip, Stretch, and Release yoga class every week in the Royal Ballroom, located in downtown Baker City (1980 Main St, Baker City, Oregon). All other classes are taught at Studio Sweat in Baker City (2245 11th St). Students are encouraged to bring a yoga mat and beverage of their choice for this unique class option on Monday evenings from 6-7 pm. Sip, Stretch, and Release is beginner friendly and combines seated, standing, and lying down poses. There is a heavy emphasis on myofascial release, which involves using different props like blocks and tennis balls, to target specific trigger points in the body. The goal of myofascial release is to unglue and soften areas of tension in the body’s connective tissue, known as fascia.

Books by Carly
Carly published her memoir, Good Enough: Believing Beautiful through Trauma, through Life, through Disorder, when she was 24 years old. Good Enough is a vulnerable read that follows the triumph and victory of an eating disorder Carly battled for nearly six years. In it, she shares stories of her childhood trauma while pointing to her Christian faith as the key to breaking past many barriers. Although Carly no longer considers herself a Christian, she does value the strength she gained from religion, church, and church community in her younger years. Good Enough follows Carly’s ruthless pursuit toward greater self-acceptance and is available in eBook, paperback, hardback, and audiobook format.
