CLAIRE HINRICHS (she/her)
For the longest time, I never really thought I was someone who practiced yoga. I wasn't able to touch my toes, I couldn't do some of the more advanced asanas you see on the internet, and I didn't look the part in the eyes of modern western fitness culture. However, after more concretely establishing a yoga practice in 2018, I realized that I was in fact practicing yoga the whole time - it didn't matter how I showed up to my mat, how I looked, or what my physical abilities were on that day. I've found yoga goes beyond the 60 minute time slot you allot to physically practicing on your mat, it's a journey inward.
What You Can Expect From My Classes
I believe yoga is for everyone, no matter the ability, experience, or circumstance. As an accessible and trauma informed certified yoga instructor (recently completing my 200 hr YTT at JPCY in 2025!), I try to cultivate an inviting, inclusive, and welcoming sense of community in my classes. I hope you will join me!
