She has taught a variety of yoga styles, including hot vinyasa yoga, Hibs Yoga, Reiki restorative, and Budokon yoga, which has led her to brand her own style of yoga that focuses on proper alignment, use of props to enhance the practice, and a focus on both strength and flexibility.

What Clair enjoys most about yoga is taking the lessons from the mat into life and learning to live a joyful life through mind mastery and habit transformation. Her approach to teaching is that of a storyteller and puzzle builder, taking different learnings and weaving them together into a beautiful tapestry that is digestible by many.

Outside of yoga, Clair enjoys hiking, camping, horseback riding, game night with friends, and eating amazing food. A fun fact about Clair is that she was born in Germany and believes she was Cuban in a past life.
