About Me
ABOUT ME
Beginning in April 2024, Claire will be joining The Meetinghouse as the yoga teacher and Wellness in Residence. Claire completed her 500-hour Power and Vinyasa yoga certification through Lyn Kehoe Power Yoga and is registered with Yoga Alliance. Claire has been practicing yoga since the late 1990s beginning with Iyengar, she also explored Hatha and Vinyasa before finding Power. Claire has been inspired by all of her teachers but has found a deep appreciation for Lyn Kehoe’s authentic style that challenges you to apply your yoga off your mat with your eyes wide open. Claire brings this kind of compassion and commitment to her yoga classes, creating a supportive community for her students that puts the breath at the center of the practice while still challenging the mind and body.
Claire is a mom of two and a former suit wearing executive. She’s also a certified holistic health coach focusing on bioindividuality as the basic guide to help her clients find their unique path toward health. The power in Power Yoga teaches us how to apply the yoga on and off our mats, and bioindividuality serves her clients in a similar manner – teaching them to find their authentic self already inside to foster the healthiest version of themselves that they can be. She received her training as a Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition’s cutting-edge Health Coach Training Program. She studied over 100 dietary theories, practical lifestyle management techniques, and innovative coaching methods with some of the world’s top health and wellness experts. Her teachers included Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. Deepak Chopra, Dr. David Katz, Dr. Walter Willett, Geneen Roth, and others.
In 2020 and 2021, Claire successfully passed her Pilates Mat 1, 2 &3 training at Power Pilates. And completed her Barre training level 1 & 2 at BarSculpt.
She has a BA in Anthropology and a MA in Public Administration. Both degrees provide her perspectives on how an individual’s background and history shape their relationship with health and wellness. In addition, she has a deep understanding and appreciation for the policies behind the health and wellness industries.
