Carol Bartlett, is a geophysicist and a sales expert. Those two nouns don’t appear very often together. She worked in the oil and gas industry for many years as an oil and gas expert and leveraged her expertise to climb the corporate ladder. She was on a travel circuit and worked a ton of hours.
Then she decided, like many of you, to ditch the corporate constraints for the freedom of entrepreneurship. Lucky for her, along my corporate journey, she had mastered sales before she exited.
She knows how exciting and scary entrepreneurship is and figured out not only how to make money consistently but how to grow revenue with a repeatable, focused process: The Leap Method.

Darlene first stepped on a yoga mat in 2012, and it was love at first twist. At the time, she was looking for something to help her find some inner calm, and she left feeling so peaceful she couldn’t wait to go back for more. As she continued to attend different yoga classes, she began to notice so many major changes in her overall physical, spiritual and mental well-being. Just learning how slowing down the breath and taking easy inhales & exhales could be so powerful, was amazing to her.
She was constantly telling everyone she met about all the fantastic benefits of yoga, so she figured it was time she took it to another level. She decided to delve into it deeper by signing up with the amazing Bobby Bessey and Meaghan Burridge, to complete her 200 hour Hatha Yoga Teacher Training-NL in December, 2018.
She did some substitute teaching, and then in 2019 she completed her Restorative Yoga Teacher Training with Andrea Peloso. From there she completely emptied out her basement to have a small home based studio. This opportunity allowed her to learn and grow in her teaching, and she knew this was what she wanted to do. But then when Covid hit, things changed and she had to switch her teaching to online Zoom. She says those Zoom classes were so important to all of those practicing together in such uncertain times, but she really missed the energy in the room with people around.
When the opportunity came up to open her own yoga studio in St. John's, she was so excited to have a space where all people could come to practice this gift of yoga.
To quote Darlene "I feel blessed to have this opportunity to teach, and I am so thankful for all my yogis and for the many wonderful teachers that have guided me over the years. Namaste."
