“Five stars aren't enough. I want to give the number of stars you see at night when you are walking on the beach. Claire is an incredible teacher - patient and able to make yoga tangible and relevant to what is happening in the world. I have followed Claire halfway across the world 5 times and I will do it again.”

“Claire, Jenny and Sansara were exceptional in every way. The resort is absolutely gorgeous and the yoga sessions were thoughtfully curated to leave us feeling inspired, grounded, and connected with ourselves and each other. The food was healthy and delicious, the massages and excursions were top notch, and this secluded place in Panama felt very special - a perfect place to connect to nature and feel both at home and at peace.”

“Retreating with Claire is always a wonderful experience! Claire is an incredible teacher and retreat leader, offering not only deeply fulfilling yoga and great vibes, but also a connected community experience. She is conscientious and warm and such an amazing human. Sansara is a dream destination -- beautiful location, great accommodations, incredible food and people, great surfing and excursions. I've been going every year for five years and just signed up for my sixth retreat with Claire at Sansara. It is always a great trip and it never gets old. If you have an opportunity to go on a retreat with Claire, do it!”

“I’ve been practicing with Claire for over a decade, and I can say she has so much to offer students of any level. She takes a very real approach to the practice. She is challenging, yet compassionate. I have yet to find a more intuitive teacher that continues to inspire me on a daily basis.”

— VIVIAN, A STUDENT

“My week at Sansara Resort in Cambutal, Panama was nothing short of magical, and so much of that was thanks to Claire... Her ability to balance structure with spontaneity made each day flow seamlessly—from sunrise yoga sessions in the oceanfront shala to afternoon surf lessons and evening gatherings under the stars. Her classes were beautifully sequenced, challenging yet accessible, and she had an intuitive sense of what the group needed each day. But Claire's brilliance extended far beyond the yoga shala. As retreat coordinator, she created an atmosphere where connection flourished naturally. The excursions she arranged—from the waterfall hike to the beachside dinners—felt perfectly timed and thoughtfully chosen. ”

–NICOLE A, 2026

“This was my third retreat with Claire at Sansara, and I can't wait to go back next year. I'm grateful I'm able to take a week to treat myself to a week of personal growth, wellness and yoga with Claire in sunny, beautiful Panama. I've been lucky to have friends go with me each year, and even better are the new friendships made. The resort is perfectly situated on a secluded black sand beach, with lovely rooms, attentive service and delicious, healthy food. I can't recommend this enough. It's worth the long journey to get there! “

– HEIDI, 2026

“Practicing yoga with Claire is a moving meditation. She intuitively guides you through the movements, yet allows you the space to find your own practice. Her seamless sequencing and instruction are layered beautifully with the music, allowing you to ease into a flow state. With her vast knowledge and training, she creates a connective energy in the room — a feeling akin to seeing a great band live at a small venue just before they break out.”
