I’m Carrie Heeter.

Thirteen years ago I encountered life-changing hints of the wonders of yoga and meditation. I aligned my professional and personal life toward learning more and digging deeper.

My Yoga Lineage and Community

I’m on a lifetime journey of exploration and personal transformation. Though I started my journey late in life, stopping is unimaginable.

I’m part of an informal community of learners who I have met through Yoga Well Institute classes, each of us on our own journey.

I study one-on-one with my mentor, Marcel Allbritton. I have continuously participated in formal programs and courses offered by Marcel’s mentor, Chase Bossart. Chase was a long-time student of Mr. T.K.V. Desikachar, who studied with his father, Sri Krishnamacharya.

The lineage of yogi and student extends back thousands of years. 

I have designed and directed development of more than 50 interactive experiences including meditations, games, online learning systems, virtual reality, and patient empowerment software. My many awards include Discover Magazine’s Software Innovation of the Year and Meaningful Play’s Lifetime Innovator Award. I have published more than 100 scholarly books, chapters, articles, and proceedings about meditation, individual and social impacts of interactive technology, virtual reality, and serious games.

I retired from a long career as professor of Media and Information at Michigan State University to be able to devote more time to my work with yoga and meditation.

What could be more awesome than designing transformational meditation experiences that are unique to each person, using the technology of their human system—their mind and body?
