Clara Roberts-Oss

For Clara Roberts-Oss, movement has always been sacred. After spending much of her life as a dancer, she took her first Vinyasa class in 2000 at Jivamukti yoga Center and discovered a feeling of home.

As she moved through the flowing postures seamlessly with an emphasis on breath-body connection, Clara realized that yoga gave her something that dance could not - an emphasis on the internal journey.

Clara Roberts-Oss received her 200 hour Vinyasa Certification with Lauren Hanna at Sonic yoga NYC in 2003. Shortly thereafter, she met Shiva Rea and again felt at home. Shiva, too, understood the idea of fluidity and gave words to the movement that Clara had been doing her entire life. Since then, Clara has been studying under and assisting Shiva.

For Clara Roberts-Oss, movement is the ultimate form of communication with the Divine. She believes the body yearns to move like water and when it does, it hums with excitement.

"I thank all my teachers for sharing their passion of this practice with me: David Life for opening my heart, Stacey Brass for her minute cues that have changed me life, Uma for opening my voice, Dana Flynn for throwing out all the rules and inspiring me to do the same, Constantine Darling for showing me another way, and Paul Ortega for reminding me we are ALL the cosmic dancer."

Clara Roberts-Oss leads this Power Vinyasa class; Let's Bind It Together. I love exploring different binds during the practice! This class will take you through many postures to heat and invorate the body, get deep opening in the shoulders, and release in the upper back, through binding in many postures. Many variations are given in class to allow for varying levels of openness. This flow will help you find grounding, heat, lightness, and fluidity.

Lead by Clara Roberts-Oss, this watery practice is to help cool the inner fire that may be running too high. In Ayurveda, Yoga’s sister science, we are comprised of three elements known as ‘doshas’. Pitta is the fire element. When Pitta is high in the body/mind, you can feel aggressive, angry, overly competitive, and impatient.

Vata is the first in a series of videos that explores the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Calm anxiety, relieve tension, and create a strong sense of groundedness.

This short, grounding sequence with Clara Roberts-Oss will greatly decrease any tension that is held within the hips, hamstrings, and quadriceps. This twisty practice will help clarify the mind, by opening up the areas of the heart and hips.

We've removed some of the most advanced postures in Clara's Let's Fly practice, to offer a more intermediate level version of this practice. Still quite challenging, minus some of the more challenging inversions and some of the deeper backbends, this class will set you a flight. Arm balances with deep hip openers will not only connect you deeper to you core but also give you the sense of flying. Come play!
