Claire Williams is a trauma-informed yoga instructor, proud boy mom, and fire wife based in Winder, Georgia. Yoga has been a transformative practice for Claire, offering physical relief from scoliosis. Claire has spent the last 7 years wading through a S.I. joint dysfunction.

The tools Claire learned from taking yoga practices off the mat have been invaluable in her journey with SI joint dysfunction and chronic pain. Through mindfulness and gentle movement, she found ways to manage discomfort, build resilience, and cultivate a deeper awareness of her body’s needs, empowering her in both recovery and daily life.

Her practice has also been a powerful tool for her mental well-being on and off the yoga mat. Through yoga, she has found grounding, resilience, and inner peace—benefits she strives to share with her students.

With certifications including a 200-Hour RYFT and specialized training as a Mindfulness Resilience for Trauma Recovery Teacher through the Veterans Yoga Project, Claire is dedicated to making yoga a mindful and accessible practice. Her classes are shaped by her own journey and emphasize adaptable stretching techniques over static holds, aiming to create a supportive space for others to discover their own strength.

Claire teaches a variety of styles, including Heated Vinyasa, Vinyasa, Mindful Movement, Gentle and Adaptive Yoga, and Yoga Nidra. She is thrilled to be part of Ignite Yoga and Wellness, inspiring others to “IGNITE the warrior within.”

BENEFITS OF HOT YOGA AND INFRARED HEAT

Deep Heat Penetration

Infrared heaters warm the body directly, providing a deep, soothing heat that penetrates muscles and joints. Potentially , this can help with flexibiity and relaxation. Infrared wavelengths also may provide pain relief and enhanced circultaion, due to the way cells absorb this heat energy.
Improved Circulation

Encourages blood flow, helping support circulation and cardiovascular health.
Increased circulation helps mobilize fat-stored toxins to be excreted through sweat. Improved blood flow can also support lymphatic drainage, another key detox pathway that removes waste from cells.
Detoxification and Muscle Recovery

Infrared heat can aid the body's natural detox process by promoting sweating, which helps release impurities from the skin.
Infrared heat can penetrate the skins surface and reach muscles and deeper tissues. This cellular-level heat is thought to stimulate metabolic processes, potentially aiding the cells in releasing waste products and promoting faster recovery and regeneration.
Detoxing Stress Hormones

Heat exposure in hot yoga may help lower stress hormones like cortisol. High cortisol levels can affect liver function and decrease the body's ability to detoxify effectively, so stress reduction via hot yoga can indirectly support the detoxification process.
