About

I used to let my life live itself. That was before I rolled out a yoga mat, called the Mile High City home and made a commitment to be vegan. That was before I started smiling at strangers.

This goodness is too good to keep inside. So these are my stories: about yoga, meditation, writing and being vegan, in the hope of inspiring and sharing What I Know to Be True so far.

I’m Caren Baginski, a journalism grad, certified yoga instructor and vegan living in Denver with my pint-sized papillon, Willow. I’m an editor at New Hope Natural Media and also the founder of #omchat, a Twitter chat for 21st century yogis.

Testimonials

Here’s what my students say about me:

“The entire class [at Vitruvian Fitness] is a sublime experience. There is no judgment and Caren is always providing technical instruction to help us hone our positions. It is an incredibly welcoming atmosphere. Almost without realizing it, my heart is pumping, my muscles are active and I feel very much alive. It’s almost like the workout sneaks up on you, ha! My favorite part of the class are the beautiful observations and personal guidance from Caren. She always leaves us with some positive remark that keeps me focused and appreciative throughout the week.” -Tiffany R.

“Caren’s teachings have created a tranquil refuge in which I continue to deepen my practice of yoga.  Her classes interweave extensive knowledge of anatomy, proper technique and sequencing with a rich, genuine understanding of yogic philosophy and meditation.  I find her use of life experiences to illustrate concepts particularly helpful as I make the transition from the mat to the ‘real world.’  All of this, conveyed with warmth, compassion and humor keep me coming back, eager for her special brand of enlightenment.  She is a gift to the yoga community.”  -Lori Wilson
