Ep. 20: Holding hope and grief and love - with Claire Howard


Listen Later

On this intense and frightening week, I offer you this beautiful and delicious conversation with therapist, flutist, and yoga instructor Claire Howard. Claire's ability to hold both sensitivity and silliness, and her wisdom to know that grief, hope, and love all live in the same place, is exactly what we need as we navigate the coming days and weeks.

Claire's Bio:

Claire Howard is a therapist, flutist, and yoga instructor currently living in Dallas, TX. 

Inspired by her experiences with burnout, perfectionism, and anxiety, Claire ardently pursues opportunities for connection, healing, and embodiment. This has led her to the deep study of yoga at the Kripalu School of Yoga and Ayurveda, where she became a 200-hour Registered Yoga Teacher, and eventually to the study of mental health. Claire graduated with a degree in Couple, Marriage, and Family Therapy from Texas Tech University in 2022. Her therapeutic practice is systemic and holistic, and primarily focuses on supporting the empowerment and liberation of both classical musicians and queer couples.

Prior to her mental health studies, Claire graduated with a Master’s Degree in Flute Performance from Texas Tech University and received a Music Education degree from Henderson State University. Claire is the co-owner of Yoga for All Musicians, a virtual yoga studio which caters to the physical and emotional needs of classical musicians across the country. There, Claire teaches meditation and movement practices and is grateful to host workshops for universities across the country.

Claire is most inspired by the duality of our lives: inhales and exhales, expansion and contraction, poetry and humor. As a yoga instructor and therapist, she facilitates deep work alongside play.
