natural, mindful yoga with clearlight
Clearlight’s Mindful Yoga is a synthesis of her 30 years of yogic study and practice. She offers a unique approach that addresses not just the needs of women's bodies, but women's energetic anatomy, emotions and healing, and the quest to find meaning and peace in this lifetime.
Clearlight's teachings empower women and families to build wellness, resiliency and vitality through the combination of a mindful approach to movement and practical core-strengthening work, accessible and beneficial breathwork, and the integration of nondual wisdom teachings and iRest® Yoga Nidra. These classes draw from a lifetime engagement with Hatha Yoga, Pilates-Inspired Bodywork, and last, but absolutely not least, Nondual Wisdom teachings as embodied by BodySensing and Yoga Nidra meditation.
Mindful Yoga supports a wide variety of experiences. Some participate in the practices to improve the health of their bodies, some to reduce the stress in their lives, some to nourish spiritual or meditative inquiry... and some to deepen the exploration of wellbeing that naturally emerges from practice.
The classes invoke a celebration of life – its beauty and its challenges – and provide an opportunity to dive more deeply into the preciousness revealed in the present moment through the experience of movement in the body and meditative inquiry.
All are welcome to these classes, although they are not intended or recommended for pregnancy. Most people who attend identify as women, however men are welcome too - especially family members! There are occasional practices that are specifically women-only, but this would be indicated in advance on the registration page.
The classes are friendly and genuinely non-competitive. The group shares the understanding that the movements are meant to serve the needs of the body, and that every individual is different in their own unique way.
Because the practices are given online (live-streamed and recorded), it is important that you are able to take responsibility for your own body and wellbeing. If you have a injury or situation that would better be served by an individual consultation or private sessions, please consider this. Scroll down this page to learn more.
"Thank you so much for teaching me how to love yoga, myself and others...." - Shelley
what women are saying...
I've found that the live-streamed practices with you offer a much deeper and more beneficial experience than any recorded videos. Following our first practice together online, I experienced such a profound sense of peacefulness - it was as though all the stress and anxiety that the pandemic had brought was filtered, and for the first time since it all began, I was given a real opportunity to settle and rest.

With Clearlight's teaching, I have learned to develop a yoga practice that I can rely on to bring me back to a state of equanimity in what is a very busy life! Her classes are truly a place of non-judgement, sincerity and encouragement. Her long experience and mastery of teaching yoga are evident. Although I maintain my health, strength and flexibility with yoga, her classes are not about comparing or achieving - they really feel like an opportunity to reconnect to my physical, emotional and mental experiences from moment to moment.

I cannot express how happy I am to have this opportunity in my life for reconnecting with myself, the world, and with you. You’re extremely present during my practice even through the frame of my iPad screen. I welcome these sessions in my home with a big big heart and am so happy we have the technology to connect us.

Thanks for these wonderful classes! Although I really enjoy in person classes and the charm and magic of this modality, I surprisingly really enjoy the online version of your classes too! I didn’t think it was for me, but you did a great job at making it interesting and warm but also practical. These online classes are amazing, especially the fact that recorded classes are available, super convenient for new parents ;)
