Jean & Clare Met in 2006 where their yoga journey began at Jean's Cafe.

A budding new teacher Clare was looking for new places to offer her teachings and Jean was looking to create a community vibe!

This yoga friendship has taken them on a path of self exploration! Both trained in Kripalu Yoga Jean and Clare have spent hundred of hours living , working, and training at the largest yoga center in the country. They are delighted to bring these practices and teachings into the Syracuse Yoga Community!

Jean Marie found yoga in 2004 at a company sponsored event in Boston. Not really being into any sports of any kind Jean Marie found the practice of yoga to fill the void of both movement and mind body balance that she had been looking.

Flash forward to present day Jean Marie has been teaching for over 10 years sharing both Kripalu & Vinyasa style classes. Jean Marie completed two 200 hour teacher trainings and even did a 3 month SEVA practice at Kripalu fully immersed in living and learning about yogic principles. Jean Marie also works side by side with Dr. Susan Brown at The Center for Better Bones & Alkaline for Life helping create nutritional/ wellness protocols and supplements.

Private Yoga Coaching Sessions starting at 75.00 per hour.

Clare is a 500+ hour trained Kripalu Yoga instructor. Clare found her way on to the mat in the Fall of 2000. Her massage therapist informed her that she was very removed from her body & she needed to find a way to reconnect with her authentic self. One Kripalu Yoga class later and she was a changed woman. She felt herself breathe. She felt herself relax. She felt herself feel. 21+ years later, Kripalu Yoga remains Clare's saving grace of how to find her way home to herself. Since the Fall of 2006, it has been Clare's humble honor to share all that she knows about Kripalu Yoga. Her intention of why she does what she does is to invite her beloved students on to the path and experience the pilgrimage towards love, light, self & home. As Swami Kripalu shared,"Love is my only path. I am in fact a pilgrim on the path of love.” Join Clare & other yogic pilgrims for a weekly journey on the path of love. Clare is truly grateful for the om-mazing Jean Marie and for their divine & serendipitous meetup in 2006. A true heart to heart connection began that day.

For years Mary had read of the many benefits yoga could offer to help bring balance and stability to her life. Finally, hoping to regain strength and mobility while recovering from an injury, she made her way to her first yoga class. She wishes she hadn’t waited so long to make her way to the mat! Yoga allowed her to slow down and reconnect with her breath and body; to grow stronger, more flexible, and more fearless on and off the mat. An educator for the last thirty years with a love for learning, it seems only natural that as one career winds down a new path begins. She is Kripalu trained as both a yoga teacher and a Let Your Yoga Dance for Special Populations teacher and has continued to advance her study of yoga and Ayurveda. Mary leads with a compassionate and thoughtful approach striving to bring her enthusiasm for Kripalu yoga to every body.

Isabella is an animal lover who enjoys being in nature, moving her body, creating art and helping others feel beautiful both physically and mentally.
