My name is Veronica Carpenter, and I live in Audubon, New Jersey.

​

I am a yoga therapist, self-love cheerleader, and earth angel. I live and teach under the core values of loving kindness, compassion, truthfulness, authenticity, playfulness, and surrendering to the Divine.

 

I help humans find balance, practically and playfully, through yogic practices and principles, yoga therapy, spiritual guidance, inner child healing, shadow work, mindfulness, somatic movement, and authentic self-exploration. I offer both online and in-person services for all ages.

 

If you are feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in patterns you cannot seem to shift, or simply craving a deeper relationship with yourself and your life, my offerings are here to support you in a grounded and accessible way.

 

I wear various wings in my service to the world around me. My offerings for children focus on fostering healthy emotions and nurturing their growth, drawing on my background in relationship-based therapy. For adults, I provide support to help them heal their relationship with themselves, fostering self-love & authenticity.

​

My work is informed by a BA in Psychology, comprehensive yoga therapy training, advanced yoga teacher training, many years of practicing conscious dance, and over 20 years of experience working with children and families in mental health and caregiving roles. I continue to deepen my work through time immersed in spiritual community, ecstatic dance practice and facilitation, nature-based experiences, and attending spiritually aligned workshops.

​

I teach under the name Blissful Butterfly Yoga.

​

The path of the butterfly takes courage. It begins as a caterpillar, which turns to goo inside a chrysalis, only to be rebuilt by the grace of the Divine into a butterfly. Then, through its own effort, the butterfly pushes its way out of the chrysalis, strengthening its wings so it can fly free.

 

This mirrors life. We are often churned into mush by the waves of life, time and time again. But it is through grace, along with our own willingness to stay present and do the work, that we can transform these experiences into growth and live in alignment with our most authentic selves.

 

The inspiration behind Blissful Butterfly Yoga comes from my own healing journey.

 

Through my writing, blog, videos, social media presence, and conversations with my students, I share bits of my story, recovering from heartbreak, developmental and spiritual traumas, and living with androgenic alopecia, to inspire others to do the work of transforming times of crisis into tools for cultivating strength, courage, deeper understanding, and graceful resilience.

 

Yoga, mindfulness, nature, somatic movement, community, play, and spiritual exploration have been steady supports on my path. This is why I share them with others.

 

Whether you join me for yoga therapy, a live online class, a mindful nature experience, ecstatic dance, a workshop, or another offering, my intention is simple: to help you reconnect with your authentic self, soften your edges, feel more at home in your body, and remember your connection to all that is.

With love & gratitude,
