Claire Baum is a dancer, choreographer, ERYT-200 yoga teacher from OM Factory (2017) and a RPYT from the Prenatal Yoga Center (2023). She has done Trauma Informed Yoga and CPTSD trainings with Exhale to Inhale and Anatomy Intensives with Joe Miller at Sacred Sounds and Jenni Rawlings. Ever a student of movement, Claire is also a mat pilates certified through the Kane School. Claire believes that movement (including yoga) should be open to all and is constantly working to make her classes more inclusive by teaching specifically to those students before her. Claire’s anatomically based classes have an innovative dance inspired approach to sequencing and are lighthearted and energetic in nature. Her classes prioritize strength and suppleness of both body and mind and encourage autonomy inside the practice. This autonomy aims to cultivate a sense of accessibility, agency, grounding and joy about moving your body and learning from your best teacher – you!
