Claire supports an innovative and thriving yoga community across Whatcom County. She offers public classes, workshops, retreats and trainings in both Bellingham and abroad. On the mat, when she is teaching, Claire is passionate about studying and sharing the intersectionality of mindfulness systems, tools and yoga philosophy from Ancient India with the evolution of functional movement, anatomical awareness and creative innovation that is happening in modern yoga in the West. Claire has been deeply influenced by Bhakti, Anusara and Iyengar schools of thought and is a product of her personal practices, personal relationships and teachers Annie Carpenter, Christina Sell, Janet Stone, Rusty Wells, Harvey Deutch PT and Eric Rubin DC.
Claire offers consulting services to small business owners interested in aligning their value systems with their operations policies. Her intent with the yoga spaces she stewards is to offer a heart-full sanctuary where we can gather in community to be in relationship with source wisdom, accessed from inside each one of us. Claire is in a life long love affair with yoga, her mission is to make the practices, traditions and teachings relevant, transformative and sustainable.
