Claire Pascal

In addition to teaching, they are Co-Director at the studio alongside Caitlin Pascucci. Claire started their yoga practice at Sangha as a reluctant (and skeptical) participant having varied experiences within yoga and wellness spaces. In seeking places they could build community and make connections after moving to Vermont, they found a warm and welcoming atmosphere in Sangha. They came for the friendships, and through that developed a deep love for jumping on the mat and moving their body. They graduated from Sangha Studio's 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training and they find their teaching and personal practice to be informed by the intersections of collective care, individual spirituality and embodied movement. With an emphasis on spirituality and the energetic body, Claire infuses magick and witchcraft into their classes. Drawing from all eight limbs of this practice, Claire believes that yoga is one of many tools we can use to fill our own cups, but to also find resilience to step into our power as change makers and change agents living within deeply broken systems. They aim to create a container where students can gain a deep sense of community and a curiosity around how they take up space and show up for themselves and for others. __________________ Additional Trainings/Certifications: Skill In Action: Radicalizing Your Yoga Practice to Create a Just World with Michelle Cassandra Johnson Accessible Yoga Certified | 40-hour Accessible Yoga Training with Accessbile Yoga School and Jivana Heyman
