You are a Teacher in Training


“Whether seeking yoga classes or teacher training, you’ll find that Claudia is a gifted, compassionate and unique resource. In keeping with traditional yoga instruction (but in ways that have become uncommon with most group classes), she cultivates a personal teacher-student relationship. Claudia provides guidance that’s both individualized and multi-faceted – incorporating body, mind and breath. A natural teacher and healer, she supports each student’s journey while being sensitive to their physical and emotional circumstances. Given the many available yoga options now available, you’d be well served to consider Claudia and the community that she’s cultivated at y Respira.”

~ Bryan Bushick, MD, RNCY Graduate

“If you are looking for a place where you can feel safe and seen, this is it. Not only does Claudia share so much of her knowledge with you but she also allows space for connection. While doing my training with Claudia, the amount of growth as a student and as a person outside of the classroom was just something I didn't see coming so quickly. I still reference back to her and that sweet studio space she has created, as one of the best experiences I have had. My family even says that since I started my Yoga journey, which was with Claudia, I am more grounded and really rooted into what is best for me. I learned so much about Yoga, human connection and understanding of the self through my training. Thank you Claudia/ Y Respira- Raleigh NC Yoga LLC, for kickstarting my barefoot, open heart journey into this lifestyle that nourishes me every single day.”
