In 2010, Claire began practicing yoga to help her physically recover from a terrible car accident. She soon found that yoga made her feel more resilient, open-minded, and the benefits went FAR beyond the physical body. Seven years later, Claire decided to bring her passion for yoga to the next level and begin instructing. Claire believes every yoga class is a “metaphor for life,” as she discovers more about herself and how she connects to others each time she comes to her mat.
