MPower Yoga Claremont

Bio - Mod is an E RYT-500 Yoga Instructor through Yoga Alliance, a Certified AIReal YogaTM Lead Teacher, and a professional performance acrobat who has done work for various productions and reality TV. She has been practicing yoga for over 16 years. After graduating from UC Berkeley with a degree in Economics and living the corporate human resources life for years, she traded in her office for a yoga mat, and she’s been teaching ever since.Class Philosophy - My playful classes focus on alignment, proper body mechanics, and making deeper connections within ourselves... as well as lots of handstand-y postures and cheesy jokes :)What Yoga means to me - I consider yoga to be a central element of my well being. I’ve used this wondrous practice to help piece myself back together after a moderate lumbar injury, and in a separate incident, a serious neck fracture (both non-yoga related injuries). I think yoga is a multifaceted package of awesome and I love the opportunity to share this practice’s many benefits with my students, and heck, anyone who will listen.
