Claudia Giovine
Claudia's journey into the world of yoga and holistic wellness is a testament to her dedication and passion for understanding the intricate connections between mind, body, and spirit. Her foundational step began in June 2014 when she embarked on her yoga teaching path by earning her first Hatha Yoga certification from Ananda Yoga in El Paso, Texas. This initial certification laid the groundwork for her profound exploration into various facets of yoga and holistic health.
​
Driven by her thirst for knowledge, Claudia delved deeper into her practice, recognizing the symbiotic relationship between yoga and Ayurveda. In 2015, she enrolled in the esteemed Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to immerse herself in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda. This marked the beginning of a transformative journey where she learned about the holistic healing practices deeply rooted in Ayurvedic principles. Her dedication culminated in her attainment of the Ayurvedic Yoga 200 HR certification, a significant milestone in her pursuit of a comprehensive understanding of these ancient sciences.
​
However, Claudia's thirst for wisdom was far from quenched. She sought to expand her expertise and enrolled in the New Mexico School of Yoga, where she pursued advanced studies in Ayurvedic Yoga. Through rigorous training and dedicated practice, she attained her 300 HR Ayurvedic Yoga certification, solidifying her as a knowledgeable and adept practitioner in this specialized domain.
​
As she was looking to expand her understanding of yoga as a holistic approach to healing, in 2018, Claudia undertook the Prana Vinyasa Yoga certification under the tutelage of her long-time teacher, Maria Garre. This certification provided her with a deeper understanding of the flow and synchronization of breath and movement, enriching her repertoire of yoga styles and approaches.
​
Claudia's journey is a testament to her commitment to personal growth and her desire to share the transformative power of yoga and Ayurveda with others. Her diverse certifications and continuous learning reflect her dedication to offering a holistic and enriching experience to her students, embodying the essence of a lifelong learner and a passionate advocate for holistic wellness.
