The Enchanted Elephant

The Enchanted Elephant offers private and semi-private yoga lessons by appointment only. Founder Carolyn Cobel Hamstead can accommodate small private classes/spa sessions in her beautiful home studio for up to 5 women. She can also schedule classes inside a client's home, local outdoor space, or bed and breakfast.

Carolyn also incorporates mindfulness, breath work, relaxation and meditation/prayer into her yoga.

She specializes in yoga for individuals or “pairs,” (husband-wife, mother-daugher, two friends, etc.)

Prenatal yoga with baby or postpartum yoga, and yoga for teen athletes, dancers, weekend warriors, and temple massage with doTERRA essential oils.

She also helps people with special medical considerations and poor body image in her private and semi-private lessons.

From Carolyn: I love teaching! I love yoga! I have practiced yoga for over 30 years. I received a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from The Johns Hopkins University, specializing in labor and delivery, community health nursing, and worked in a midwife-run freestanding birth center. I practiced yoga and focused breathing during both my pregnancies.

I studied Maternal-Child Health at The Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from American University.

In 2008, I studied breath-centric yoga with Sri Ravi Shankar and Vedic chanting with Sheela Shankar of Chennai (Madras) India at Denison U. for the academic year. Shankar studied with T.K.V Desicachar, lineage of Krishnamacharya.

I have had my RYT-200 certification with the Yoga Alliance of North America since 2011, and my E-RYT-200 certification (experienced) with the Yoga Alliance of North America since 2015.

I’m currently enrolled in a 300-hour yoga therapy certification program with Yoga on High in Columbus - certification through IAYT (International Association of Yoga Therapists). I also have certifications from the YMCA for Yoga ball, Group Exercise Instructor, Flexibility training, Interval training, Core Strength training, and CPR/First Aid.

I taught Gentle Yoga at the Newark Y for several years, and taught at many other studios and locations in Licking County: Studio Om, A Place to Call Om, Granville Fitness, Granville Yoga (formerly breatheYoga), the YES Club, Denison’s Open House, and as an anatomy and yoga instructor (relax and stretch class) at The Ballet Academy.

I love this area! I grew up in Pataskala, Ohio and went to Watkins Memorial High School.
