Clarissa Romano

Clarissa Romano has been practicing yoga for 25 years, and teaching since 2006.

She was introduced to yoga at a young age by her mother, an Iyengar instructor. As a college student, she fell in love with vigorous vinyasa-style classes, and practiced for many years at YogaWorks in Los Angeles. She began teaching yoga in 2007, while pursuing a Masters of Fine Arts in creative writing at the University of Mississippi. She did her formal teacher training with YogaWorks in Los Angeles, then continued her training with Annie Carpenter, creator of SmartFLOW, an intelligent blend of alignment and mindful movement. Clarissa has practiced all over the world and has explored all different styles of yoga, including hatha, Ashtanga, Forrest, hot yoga, Iyengar, Anusara and Kundalini. Sharing the gift of yoga with others is one of her greatest joys.
