Claire L.

Claire discovered yoga at a very young age as her middle school offered a yoga class a couple times within a year. She always remembered feeling lighter and more peaceful through out the days she participated in class. After many years without a practice, she rediscovered yoga as a way to find movement in her body but discovered so much more. Claire primarily practices Vinyasa and Yin yoga and began to fully dedicate her self to her practice as a student. Claire challenges herself to try new and difficult things and fully immerses herself in a meditation practice which has helped her live more mindfully with presence.
After years of a consistent yoga practice at home and in a studio, Claire wanted to deepen her understanding of the philosophy of yoga and learn to share her passion with others. Claire graduated from a 200 hr Vinyasa teacher training in early 2024 and has made some major life changes to be able to share her love of yoga with others in hopes that her students are able to embrace each day with an open heart and an open mind. Claires approach to teaching is focused on the balance between strength and flexibility, as well as exertion and ease. She incorporates dynamic movements to help support each pose, connecting breath to movement.
