about the practitioners
Claire Larsen
Yoga & Meditation
Claire began practicing meditation at the age of nineteen at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in California and began practicing yoga at the age of fifteen to help manage a dance related injury. For the past ten years she has continued to practice Iyengar-based Hatha yoga as well as Ashtanga and Tri-Yoga. Her study of meditation has continued in the Sotto Zen tradition; living as a student in residence at San Francisco Zen Center's Green Gulch Farm and more recently with the Mountains and Rivers Order in NYC. She finds the blending of Buddhist meditation with hatha yoga to be a seamless and powerful practice that encourages students to trust their experience and to find a personal definition of yoga. Claire is certified to teach yoga and meditation with Vajra Yoga & Meditation here in NYC and is also a graduate of their Social Action Teacher Training. Claire currently teaches yoga and meditation classes in Manhattan and Brooklyn and works privately with adults, children and families of all ages and levels.
