Cara Matocha

Cara first experienced the life changing benefits of yoga when taking a Hatha class in college. Not only did it positively impact her physical health, but also her mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Over the years, life’s challenges overshadowed maintaining these lessons into daily practice, but not her interest in holistic health and wellness. After experiencing a tragic loss, Cara found herself in a place of redefining her life. Remembering the inner peace she experienced during her earlier yoga course she looked for a place that could help with her journey of healing, discovery, and growth. iShine is that home. She recently retired from a 37 year career as a high school visual arts teacher and completed her 200 hour yoga teacher training. Cara’s passion is creating a space where yogis can explore their own bodies, release stress, and connect deeply with themselves. Cara is committed to helping students find their inner calm and cultivate lasting positive changes in their physical, emotional, and spiritual health.
