Revital Carroll

Revital has been a devoted student of Indian spiritual arts for over 20 years. In 1991, she left her native Israel to begin formal Yoga studies in India with masters of the Himalayan region. In 1996, she fell in love with Odissi Dance in South India while studying under the guidance of some of India's most esteemed Odissi Dance gurus: Guru Gangadhar Pradhan, Bichitrananda Swain, Aruna Mohanty and others.

Revital draws her inspiration from the elements of nature, the wisdom of her own body, and the rich spiritual heritage of ancient India. In 2006 she was selected to present a solo performance in the International Odissi Dance Festival in Orissa, India. She is currently co-owner, with her husband Cain Carroll, of Yoga Shala (Prescott, AZ).

Revital 's teachings are guided by a sweet devotion to Life, and a nurturing of inner awakening in each student. Her classes weave together intensity and surrender, deep stillness and joyful play

Odissi Dance Performance

Odissi is a Tantric form of Indian Dance characterized by the ecstatic expression of grace and power. The Dance unifies feminine and masculine energies through fluid movement and rhythmic footwork. During an Odissi performance, the dancer and audience enter an entranced state where divine beauty and vibrant aliveness capture the heart.
