Clarissa’s yoga journey was initially that of self-healing. What began as a way to stretch and heal her stiff and tired body from martial arts training has evolved to an essential daily practice which rejuvenated her body, mind and soul. After embarking on her yoga teacher training, it further strengthened her belief that yoga compliments, and is essential to our modern lifestyles. Clarissa seeks to empower her students and inspire them to practice love through their yoga not just on their mats but in their daily lives. Clarissa is also an ACE personal trainer, a HIIT certified trainer and is an RYT200 teacher registered with Yoga Alliance.
