Jodi Carey

Jodi Carey is a spiritual guide and movement artist who has been teaching yoga and healing arts since 2001. Daughter of a NYC salsero and conga player, Jodi was exposed to her roots through music very early in life. Her weekends as a 9 yr. old would be spent in a tenement building on Ave. D dancing long hours to the rhythms of afro-tribal beats, learning the discipline of dance and control of her body. It was also during this time where Sunday excursions to church were chock-full of musical worship and spontaneous healings, as Irish grandma sat along side Puerto-rican/Chinese granddaughters, longing for us to find some sort of faith.Jodi feels that these chapters of life initiated her path to healing that some call ancestral or shamanic. Although called a mystic and local shaman, Jodi is also highly respected as a teacher of teachers for her physical alignment based methods and hands-on practical applications to healing, and is internationally recognized as an innovator in the mind-body sciences.In 2001 during a short-lived Broadway career as a performing artist, Jodi delved deeper into holistic healing becoming certified in Integral hatha yoga with Swami Ramananda, pranic healing with Master Choa Kok Sui, and holistic counseling. She would spend long weekends at an Ashram in upstate NY where she experienced what some would call, divine awakening.For the last 15 years of teaching yoga and meditation, Jodi has developed an integrative approach to her practice having moved away from what looks like power yoga, and weaves both ancient wisdom and modern day knowledge into intuitive counseling, somatic movement, and restorative yoga practices for self-healing. Jodi has helped hundreds of clients of all ages and status move more gracefully through the rocky, pivotal moments of life. She currently has her private practice on South Beach in Miami.https://www.jodicareyyoga.com/

Upcoming Programs by Jodi Carey

“This is a beautiful retreat center complete with spa nestled in the lush green countryside of the Catskills. Peace and tranquility are the first to greet you upon arriving at Menla. The staff is warm, professional, and helpful. I have had a couple of massages with hot rocks by a very competent and knowledgeable massage therapist. He is the BEST I have ever had, and I highly recommend going to DEWA Spa at Menla”

Diane Boehm

“The food was fantastic, the pool was very relaxing, and the setting was spectacular! I suggest hiking the Metta Loop Trail when you are there. On the Menla property you will see lots of wildlife, such as deer, possums, and small bears that are harmless and used to our presence.”

Mills C.

“Menla is a truly inspiring place to live and work. I can’t imagine a better environment in the US for me to be of service, help a very meaningful cause, and learn about Tibet, Buddhism, yoga, and the world of health & wellness. I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for Robert & Nena Thurman’s vision, not to mention for everyone else who helps make Menla a place I can feel genuinely proud to work for.”
