What to expect in Claudette’s classes: Claudette has a genuine passion for meeting students where they are, helping guide them toward an experience of greater strength and freedom, while allowing them to discover the wisdom that lies within their own bodies. You’ll find Claudette’s classes infused with her warm, integrative, and creative spirit, along with explorations in mantra and vibration. Her enthusiasm and curiosity are catching, and it’s clear that her teaching draws on her own love of physicality and mental engagement. Through a deft weaving of precise alignment, thoughtful insight, and a great sense of humor, Claudette’s classes create space for self-expression, clarity of focus, and the sheer joy of movement.

Main Influences/Styles/Traditions: Anusara, Iyengar, Ashtanga, Sanskrit. She also has been strongly influenced by Douglas Brooks, Christopher Hareesh Wallis, Christina Sell, Sianna Sherman, Amy Ippoliti, Ross Rayburn, Jason Crandell, and Meghan Currie.

I’ve been taking the intro series in Capitol Hill with Claudette and I’m in week four out of six. I am now more knowledgeable about my body. True instruction comes from a space that allows growth and everything about my experience here has been the most holistically fulfilling because I was taught to come from growth instead of perfection. As a person who lives too much in my head, I recommend this place as a means to learn to build a well-rounded balance. I am looking forward to a long practice in this venue and I’m grateful for what this studio catalyzed and then nurtured.
