Clare Raffety

I began practicing yoga in 1981 in New Zealand, and teaching yoga in 1991. My first yoga class, at 17 years old, highlighted a territory I wanted to explore, and the journey continues. I consider myself a life-long student, studying and calibrating my practice and teaching as best I can to current understanding of the body, mind, and heart. I have trained in yoga therapy, fascial fitness, acupressure, craniosacral therapy, yoga philosophy, and meditation with some of the worlds most renowned teachers. In 2002 I founded Yoga from the Heart in Hobart, Tasmania, and grew and directed it until 2019. I have been fortunate to lead numerous workshops, and teacher trainings over the years. In 2020 I was appointed as an Adjunct Associate at the University of Tasmania working with postgraduate students to develop mindfulness, self-awareness and self-regulation. At the heart of what I offer is a strong calling to help others access their innate wisdom and potential for vitality so they can thrive and contribute their gifts in our world.
