Meet Carmen:
Carmen Aguilar, known on Instagram as for her widely followed yoga challenges, began practicing yoga in 1999 and started teaching almost immediately. After more than a decade of giving up to 18 privates a week, she opened her Chicago studio, The Lab, which she ran until 2018, before transitioning to a full international teaching schedule.

In 2020, she launched her online platform, which continues today and connects her work with students around the world.

Over the course of her career, Carmen has taught tens of thousands of classes — in studios, workshops, retreats, events, and online — and has delivered over 30 full Yoga Teacher Trainings.

Among all her accomplishments, two stand above the rest. The first is her personal discipline: practicing three hours a day, six days a week for decades, accumulating thousands of hours dedicated to refining her own practice. The second is the development of Cyoga, her distinctive approach to training the body for peak poses and end ranges while building strength, structural integrity, and intelligent movement.

Today, Carmen teaches internationally and online, lives in Arizona with her husband, and continues to refine her practice — currently working toward a one-arm handstand.
