STUDIO  OUR TEAM

Jennifer Clarke

I’m a movement educator, yoga teacher, dance artist, and qigong practitioner and teacher.

I hold a BA in Literature and Contemporary Dance from the University of Calgary, an EYRT500 designation with Yoga Alliance, a Master of Medical Qigong (MMC) from Empty Mountain, and am an Associate Registered Movement Facilitator with ISMETA. I’m completing requirements to become a Registered Somatic Movement Therapist/Educator.
In my dance career, I’ve received awards from the Mayor of Vancouver and grants from the Canada Council and BC Arts Council. I’ve performed across Canada and Europe, specializing in improvisation with musicians and other dancers. My dance practice centers around Contact Improvisation and somatic movement.
Yoga has been a lifelong practice, and I am privileged to teach it. I lead teacher trainings, classes, workshops, and have developed a significant body of work around tension management and somatic awareness, particularly in areas such as the neck, jaw, and shoulders. I also practice and teach qigong, an ancient Chinese practice combining breath, movement, and focus.
