Claudia Valore

Instructor

Blue Sky Yoga & Healing Arts

After dabbling in college and then taking class once a week for many years, Claudia’s yoga practice (including meditation) blossomed into a robust self-care plan. And later, after a workaholic career in the education field for over forty years, retirement loomed. She knew she would need a “second act” to keep busy and a course of study to satisfy her lifelong learning habit. Yoga self-guided study slid naturally into the pending void. Then, with the encouragement and support of Paula and the Blue Sky sangha (community of practitioners), Claudia completed her 200 RYT course of study at the Cleveland Clinic School of Yoga in February 2021. She then promptly began teaching a chair class at BSY later that month. Somehow, Claudia knew in preschool that teaching was her dharma (life purpose), and while it’s taken many different forms over the years, teaching remains her path – along with continuous study. She is honored to lead classes among friends and new students joining us at Blue Sky Yoga and Healing Arts and invites you to practice with her.
