About Claire

Claire Petretti Marti has been practicing, studying, and teaching yoga since 1999. Like many fitness enthusiasts, she was initially drawn to yoga for the physical benefits of strength, balance, and flexibility.  Once she realized that serenity, peace of mind, and a general sense of happiness were predominant results of the practice, she was hooked.

An E-RYT 500 Yoga Alliance instructor, Claire teaches a dynamic vinyasa flow, combined with fun, upbeat music.  She utilizes her dance background in her flow sequences so that the movement never stops. Breathing and alignment are key. She is continuing her training with Rod Stryker and the ParaYoga school. Claire is a fully certified Pilates instructor who apprenticed with Julian Littleford, is a Reiki Level 2 Practitioner and also holds a NASM-certification for personal training. Mind-body fitness is her passion.

In the last few years, Claire faced several health challenges, including a diagnosis of breast cancer in January 2010. Yoga has aided her healing throughout surgeries. chemotherapy, and radiation. Learning to live with cancer inspired her to earn her Yoga for Cancer Therapy certification and she now teaches classes specifically for people living with cancer. Learn more on the Yoga for cancer recovery page.
 
In addition, Claire used yoga and Pilates to help her heal from a car accident that resulted in having a disc surgically replaced in her neck.  Her personal experience dealing with spinal damage helps her relate to her clients recovering from injuries.  
 
Claire enjoys working with clients on a one-to-one basis. She offers private yoga, Pilates, and private training with a yogic twist either in studio or in her clients’ homes. Schedule a consultation today.

When Claire isn't focusing on wellness, she's writing romance novels--stories of love and redemption to make you smile and believe in Happily Ever After. Her Finding Forever in Laguna series, SECOND CHANCE IN LAGUNA, AT LAST IN LAGUNA, and SUNSET IN LAGUNA are available everywhere in print, eBook, and audiobook. Her fourth book is out on submission and she's currently working on a contemporary women's fiction set in Paris and San Francisco. Learn more on Claire's author website: ClaireMarti.com
