70 Hour Immersion | Baja Mexico
What will be covered:
-
Learn the foundations of designing thoughtful and immersive vinyasa classes that build with intention, creativity, and purpose. Explore how sequencing can support not only peak poses, but also the emotional, mental, and energetic experience of your students through philosophy, subtle body practices, and intelligent class progression. Develop the skills to create holistic classes that invite students to connect more deeply to themselves and their practice.
-
Create holistic vinyasa classes based not only on peak poses but also how to create Bhavana (mood) classes for all levels based on Shiva Rea’s Prana Flow Wave theory. Each participant will teach two classes to their peers during the program and will have the opportunity to receive feedback from their peers and Clara.
-
Hands-on can help students understand the alignment of how to pose for their bodies. Learn to discern what is needed for them to gain awareness and proper alignment in each shape. We will go over the standing series.

Melanie Emlyn | 500hr ARYT Yoga Teacher + Manual Osteopath
“The 300-hour training was everything I was looking for. As a Manual Osteopath, I’m very passionate about injury prevention and support and Clara educated us on the newest research regarding incorrect movements and common injures we’re seeing in the industry today.
Clara taught us what we can do as teachers to support our students through proper alignment, cueing and how to carefully craft a proper sequence that prepares the body and supports the intention. We learned how to find inspiration, flesh out theming that feels authentic to us and create impactful Bhavana (mood/atmosphere.)”
Karen Andersen | RYT 500, E-RYT 200, YACEP
“Taking Clara's Vinyasa training was the most transformative experience in my practice and teaching since completing a 200-hour.
Alexandria Waycott | RYT 500 Full-time Yoga Teacher
“I completed Clara's 300-hour Program, and it exceeded all of my expectations.
Clara's training helped me break out of my comfort zone by giving me the skills to teach aspects of the practice that I wasn't previously confident in, such as leading mantra for a group.
Following Clara's training, I have been able to step into the role of offering continuing education for other yoga teachers in my community.
I'm so glad I chose to continue my yogic studies with Clara as it was the perfect step to help challenge me and push me towards growth as a teacher.”
Patti Schidlowsky | M.C. 200 HR RYT + Mental Health Counselor
“Clara’s 300-Hour Teacher Training taught me to ask the ‘why’ in sequencing classes.
Clara inspired me to ask questions like: What is my purpose of including this pose? Does it align with my intention?Does it fit with the flow of the class?
The knowledge I gained in this training aligns with my aspirations as a teacher and human being.”
