Clarissa Pollack's Yoga Journey and Offerings
Background
I was attracted to yoga as a pre-teen and took a few classes with my middle school friends-- we loved having time to relax together and I was fascinated by how some postures helped me feel calm, a much needed experience!
In college I studied twice a week for nearly 4 years with an Iyengar teacher which gave me a strong foundation in asana alignment (Check out my freeform headstand in Sedona in 2011.) My training as a 200 hour and then 500 hour vinyasa YTT enhanced my ability to share my knowledge and wisdom with others in an accessible and genuinely comfortable way.
I discovered the teachings of Dr.Uma Dinsmore Tuli in 2020 and fell in love with non-lineage based Yoga Nidra. Since becoming a mother and feeling a deepening need for nourishment and gentleness from my practice, and finding that and so much more in Dr. Tuli's teachings, it's what I want to share!
Inspiration
Yoga grew from a largely physical practice in strength and precision in my teens and early twenties to a fluid and intuitive way to move energy through and around my body. The 8 Limbs of Yoga serve as a guide for my ever-deepening understanding of what it means to connect mind, body, and breath.
Services
I offer guided Yoga Nidra with live musical accompaniment.
