about claire jannuzzi yoga
It's been a long and winding path for Claire Jannuzzi that has led to a mindful approach to vinyasa style yoga classes emerging on the beautiful North Fork of Long Island in Southold and Greenport.
Since childhood, Claire has found conscious movement deeply nourishing and centering. Simultaneously, there has been a life-long enquiry into the deeper aspects of life, which began in her beautiful, sacred, ancient church on the hill in England. This enquiry has, and continues, to be a deep-seated drive behind much of her life.
In the mid 1990's, on Long Island, an Amma therapist suggested she attend yoga. Claire was fortunate enough to land in the kula of a wonderfully compassionate and nurturing Kripalu Yoga teacher with whom she practiced for years.
In 2001, after completing a month-long intensive Yoga Teacher Training retreat, at Kripalu in Massachussets, Claire became drawn to the teachings of Shiva Rea and Vinyasa. She immediately opened her own yoga studio in Southold, NY - Southold Yoga Center. She gradually married the foundations of Kripalu from her initial studies, with the amazingly inspiring and fresh teachings of vinyasa to create a style of yoga that continues to grow based on the graceful, effortless evolution of life. Southold Yoga Center flourished and cultivated a wonderful kula of beautiful practitioners, for which Claire will always be so incredibly grateful. During that time and subsequently she has been blessed to study with a wide variety of talented and inspiring teachers, from many traditions of the practice, and this has led to her own style of mindful, alignment-based Vinyasa which springs forth from the heart. It continues to evolve! Foremost, she considers herself a student and is so grateful to share this practice that means so much to her, with others.
Since owning and operating her own Yoga studio, Southold Yoga Center, on the North Fork of Long Island, New York, for 7 years, Claire has spread her wings. She now teaches privately and holds 4 group practices weekly at two locations in Southold and Greenport, both on the North Fork of Long Island.
