A proven professional with a passion for yoga to help others build strength physically, mentally and emotionally. Yoga can help one become centered and mindful, to be more joyful and less stressful. My goal is to assist others in appreciating themselves, being grateful day to day and to be mindful of the opportunity to create their vision of success as healthy, growing individuals.
Classes have included: Yoga Flow (all levels), Yin Yoga, Yoga Barre Fusion, Beach Yoga, Mindfulness Through Yoga, Stretch and Flex, Partner Yoga, Claire-I-fy, RRR (Relax, Reflect, Rejuvenate), Meditation , Pilates, and Children's Yoga.
Each class is thoughtfully developed with a theme (examples are Gratefulness, Time, Change, Connection, Growth, etc). Readings and music are curated to reflect the theme to create a special yoga experience for the guests.
