Clara Roberts-Oss

All I've ever wanted to do is move, dance and let my spirit free. Hailing from one of the bigger meccas of yoga, NYC. I took my first vinyasa class in 2000 at Jivamukti Yoga Center. I had a feeling of arriving home. We moved through postures seamlessly with an emphasis of breath-body connection. The spiritual aspect of the inward journey also appealed to me. I've always found movement to be sacred. By allowing myself to dance, to pulse, I felt connected to the Divine, to everything around me. I practiced yoga for a couple of years and decided I should teach; thinking I could share this love of movement with others. I received my certification at Sonic Yoga NYC with Lauren Hanna and Jonathan Fields in 2003. My unique sense of sequencing is influenced by my beloved teachers Shiva Rea, Lauren Hanna, Stacey Brass (Laughing Lotus), David Life (Jivamukti) and from my background in dance. I invite you to be playful in your practice, reminding us that lightness is found in spirit!
