John Carosella

Yoga, Breathwork & Qigong Instructor

John teaches yoga, qigong, and breathwork with an emphasis on somatic awareness—helping students connect more deeply with the body’s “felt” experience and discover greater vitality, balance, and well-being.

After 25 years as a Silicon Valley executive navigating the demands of startups, product launches, acquisitions, and family life, John left the corporate world in 2010 to pursue a more holistic and sustainable approach to living. His own journey inspired him to share practices that cultivate inner vitality, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to the Self.

John has taught yoga and qigong throughout the San Francisco Bay Area in studios, health clubs, luxury resorts, and corporate settings. His teaching blends yoga, qigong, breathwork, meditation, movement, and other transformative practices, welcoming students with one simple prerequisite: a curiosity about what is possible.

John is also trained in cross-cultural and Celtic shamanism, Native American ceremony, and meditation. His diverse background brings a unique combination of practical life experience, embodied wisdom, and a spirit of exploration to his classes.

We are delighted to welcome John to the Yoga Phoenix teaching community.
