Founder spotlight
Carrie Guzanick
Co-Founder & Co-Owner
Carrie found yoga in Miami, completed a nine-week live-in teacher training in 2008, and left real estate to teach full time — opening Agni in 2012 and later expanding to North Miami. She earned a Master’s in Marriage & Family Therapy in 2021 and brings that lens into the studio’s culture and trainings: emotional intelligence, trauma-informed cueing, and relational leadership. A self-described edgewalker, she built an unpretentious space where all bodies and backgrounds are celebrated, guided by one mission — remember and realize who you are.
