About Mind the Mat

Mind the Mat Pilates & Yoga was founded in 2008 by Megan Brown and Sara VanderGoot.

Mind the Mat was created to spotlight individual teaching styles and to celebrate unique backgrounds and expertise. Our instructors and clients make Mind the Mat feel like home. Every teaching style is unique.


About the Instructor

Caroline Deitch began practicing yoga in 2003 and teaching in early 2009 after completing her 200-hr training in Austin, TX. She moved to the DC area in the Summer 2009, though a piece of her heart still resides in Austin and she makes a point to visit often. While her practice and training began in the Ashtanga tradition and heated Vinyasa style, over time she discovered and fell in love with gentler practices, such as Restorative, Hatha and Yin. As she incorporates aspects from many of these areas, her classes are an active and flowing exploration of the body, breath, and spirit. She teaches with the overarching theme that each day/each practice is different and that yoga can be a tool through which we can cultivate awareness, acknowledge a sense of gratitude and live a life rooted in choice. Besides sharing the practices of yoga, she loves trying new recipes, traveling, and spending time with her husband Adam, young son Jack, and newborn Emilia.
