Chris Clawson
Introductory II Level Certification

While studying jazz bass at Rutgers University, Chris fulfilled his history requirements by taking classes in Hindu and Eastern philosophy. It is here that he was first introduced to yoga. He practiced from home using books until a back injury led him to seek the practical wisdom and depth in the teachings of BKS Iyengar.
Chris has studied with a number of Iyengar teachers and currently studies regularly with Jan Campbell.

He studies with senior teacher as frequently as he can, including workshops led by Dean Lerner, Mary Obendorfer, Kathy Alef, and Manouso Manos.

With humility, insight and humor, Chris invites his students to use yoga not only as a way to strengthen and heal their bodies, but also as a tool to discover the intelligence that lies within.
