By honoring the seasonal transitions, we also learn to create a fluid, intuitive relationship with our bodies. With autumn’s arriving energy, this is a time for simplifying and slowing down our daily routines. To support this slowing down, here are a few of my favorite ways to prepare for a cleanse and honor the transition from summer to fall with conscious food practices.

Education and Experience
Claire holds a BA in International Affairs, concentrating her initial work on sustainable agriculture development and nutrition. In 2009, she completed her 200hr yoga teacher training in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga which led her down a different path, moving from a life in policy towards a professional path of empowering individual well-being.
Over the last decade, Claire has deepened her work with additional studies and certifications in Ayurveda, Functional Yoga Therapy, Yoga Nidra, Non-Dual Tantra, and women’s health.
