Clearlight Gerald is a certified yoga therapist (C-IAYT) and a professional-level yoga teacher (E-RYT500/RPYT) based in Canada, who has taught thousands of students both locally and internationally over the past 25 years.

Clearlight shares with her students the teachings and transformative understandings that have emerged from her close mentorship with nondual wisdom teacher Joan Ruvinsky. She combines her decades of immersive study and engagement in nondual wisdom teachings with a grounded application of physical practices. 

Her background includes years of professional tutelage in therapeutic yoga and rehabilitation exercise, and childbirth attendance – all supported by a deep understanding of the complex issues relevant to women’s experiences. 

Clearlight is the founder of the MamaBe® Program, an innovative, holistic approach that integrates her experience and the teachings of iRest to support women's wellbeing during fertility, pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood.

Clearlight passionately shares practices and strategies that transform, enlighten, and empower people to navigate life’s joys and challenges from a place of grace, wisdom and confidence… and offers ways to reclaim a unwavering sense of wellbeing amidst the ups and downs of life’s journeys. 

She is also a founding member of the iRest Institute in California in 2007, where she has served as a Senior iRest Trainer, Mentor and Certification Supervisor for the iRest teacher training program.

And, in case you are wondering, she was named Clearlight at birth, and it has been a blessing ever since!
