Clare Newman ERYT 500
Fall and New Year Programs Instructor
"Yoga has brought me the most powerful of gifts; body awareness, calmness, rhythmic energy, inner peace, grace and freedom. Enjoy all that yoga has to offer and accept all of what yoga is...stillness."
In 1999, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident that left me with a debilitating back injury. After many other holistic attempts at relief,
my physiotherapist recommended yoga. I lost all flexibility and strength due to the accident and was terrified at the idea of starting yoga. Once I stepped onto my mat, I was astonished at the natural way my body embraced the postures, even backbends. After several years of being a practitioner and focusing on regaining the strength in my back, I enrolled in a teacher-training program to teach others that you can live without back pain. I'm a strong advocate of yoga as a therapy for physical ailments and focus strongly on proper alignment in all of my classes.
Clare has been a practitioner of yoga for over 8 years with experience in Hatha, Bikram, Anusara and Ashtanga yoga. She has been studying Iyengar yoga intensively for over 4 years, attending the teacher-training program at the Yoga Studio College of Alberta in 2005 (Certified). Clare holds a certification through the Yoga Association of Alberta (YAA) and is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (ERYT) with the Yoga Alliance. She received her Pre-Natal certification in October 2005 from Janice Clarefield at Urban Yoga in Vancouver.
