914.525.2064 NOELLCLARKYOGA@GMAIL.COM SAN JOSE, CA TEACHING STYLE:

The foundation of my teaching

philosophy is that mindful

movement is key to longevity and

well-being. I teach with a focus on

anatomy and movement

mechanics, encouraging students

to cultivate steadiness and move

with integrity. My classes

incorporate mobility and

strengthening techniques that are

outside of the landscape of

traditional yoga postures, as well

as traditional breath practices and

mindfulness meditation.
