Madrina Claudia has the most wonderful energy about her. I trust her to know what I need in each session. If you are looking to balance the energy in your life and learn more about yourself, I highly recommend booking a session with her in her beautiful and calming space. It just might change your life!

Claudia is a wonderful practitioner of many things including yoga, healing/growth programs/trainings, community offerings and more. She is an amazing massage practitioner, the best in my opinion! It always feels like a holistic mind, body, spirit experience, receiving exactly what I need at that moment. Her studio space is lovely, surrounded and held by nature. It’s always a truly special, reverent and peaceful space and experience. ♥️

I’ve known and been a client of Claudia’s for over 15 years, and she is truly one of the kindest, most beautiful souls I’ve ever met. Her massage therapy is hands down the best I’ve ever experienced. These aren’t your typical fluff massages — Claudia’s work is deeply therapeutic, intentional, and incredibly healing. I always leave her table feeling renewed, relaxed, and realigned.
Her yoga studio in Raleigh is a peaceful sanctuary. The space is so calming and welcoming — you can feel the love and intention she puts into every detail. Whether you’re coming for bodywork or a yoga session, you’ll walk away feeling lighter in mind, body, and spirit.
If you’re looking for someone with true talent, intuition, and a heart of gold, Claudia is the one. Highly, highly recommend!

Six STARS!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have been going to Claudia for massage for a couple of years. She is truly the best massage therapist I have ever had, and I lived Asheville for 25 years, so I’ve had a lot of body work done my talented people. She uses all kinds of methods and tools and always finds exactly what I need to get my body back in balance. Over the past 3 years she has helped me with my posture, and the way I walk and move my body which has brought an awareness to my daily life.
Her studio is a beautiful cottage infused with calm energy. One of the nicest experiences is getting a massage in the summer when there is a rain storm, and hearing the patter of rain on the roof. Many therapists have small cosy spaces, but Claudia’s is light and airy.
Getting a massage from her is not just a nice treat for myself, it’s a medical and psychological necessity. She seems intuitive, but honestly, she just really knows the human body and how it should work. We all need help to combat the forward hunching, arms bent way that we spend our days in front of a computer, and Claudia is a powerful tool for everyday awareness and health.

I have been a student of y Respira yoga for many years. Claudia’s classes are welcoming, fun and unique. We learn about our bodies and can carry that knowledge beyond the mat. I love being a part of the community she has built.

Claudia has helped me in ways I don’t think I can express in words. She is masterful with how she reads the body and then tends to it. Her compassion and dedication to her clients are unmatched. I would never have guessed that her little casita would play such a huge role in my healing journey. One of the best decisions I have ever made was making that first appointment.

Raleigh NC Yoga is a unique studio. It is not just a place,but an experience. The studio is tranquil and cozy,nestled in a sylvan setting. Owner Claudia offers not only top-notch classes and massage,but is well versed in health and wellness for body and mind. She provides warm,attentive interactions and is clearly passionate about what she does. A visit here is a visit to a restorative sanctuary.

I’ve been taking yoga classes at Raleigh NC Yoga for about 12 years. Claudia, the owner and instructor, knows so much about yoga and how it can help her students feel better both physically and mentally. She also takes a personal interest in her students and wants them to be successful in their yoga practice. I can’t recommend Raleigh NC yoga enough.

I’ve been coming to Y Respira for over a decade, and I can honestly say Claudia is one of the most trusted people in my life. Her massages are incredible—deeply intuitive, healing, and always exactly what my body needs. Her yoga guidance is equally grounding and restorative. Every visit leaves me feeling more whole and at peace. Claudia has created a space that’s warm, welcoming, and truly centered on healing. I trust her with every muscle in my body and every part of my soul. Y Respira is a gem in Raleigh.

What a wonderful and peaceful place!! I walk into the garden area and immediately my mind and body start to relax knowing I’m going to see Claudia. She is amazing at all that she offers!!!! I get monthly massages from her and her detail and knowledge of anatomy makes for the best massages I have ever gotten, and why I will only see her for the rest of my life. I also recently signed up for membership and she has been so great at meeting me where I am at! It has been hard for me to get back into my meditation and yoga practice for a few years and so she started me with “micro” doses of it for me during the week, that has been so wonderful. I highly recommend!!!!!!!!!

I have been a dedicated student at y Respira Yoga under the guidance of Claudia for @ 15 years, and it has been an incredibly transformative experience.
Claudia is a true gem. Her deep knowledge of yoga and her nurturing teaching style create an atmosphere of tranquility and growth in every class. She provides clear instructions, and her passion for yoga shines through in her teaching.
y Respira Yoga itself is a haven of serenity. The studio's ambiance is calming, and it's evident that a lot of thought has gone into creating a welcoming space for yogis of all levels.
I have not only improved my physical strength and flexibility but also found a sense of inner peace and balance through Claudia's classes. She encourages personal growth and mindfulness, which has extended beyond the mat into my daily life.
I highly recommend y Respira Yoga and Claudia to anyone seeking a yoga practice that goes beyond the physical, nurturing both the body and the soul. Thank you, Claudia, for your dedication and for creating such a wonderful yoga community.
Namaste 🧘♀️🙏

Claudia is a master at her craft. She works with each client to help bring greater health. She can anatomically explain what is occurring and how to fix and prevent in the future. I love taking the classes online or in studio. She’s the best.

I stumbled upon Raleigh NC Yoga – Y Respira - in 2015 when I was looking for a new yoga studio. It has been an incredible journey and I am constantly learning new things about myself. Claudia has a wealth of knowledge about the body and that, combined with her intuition and ability to meet students where they are, offers a unique experience I haven’t found at any other studio. I am grateful to be a part of this wonderful community Claudia has created.

I had the pleasure of taking a class with Claudia years ago at a local gym, and I never forgot the experience. When I found her in recent days, I can't express how wonderful and happy I am. She is calming, with many variations to suit your level. When class is over, I leave with a beautiful sense of calm and clarity. I look forward to working on improving at my own pace.

Y Respira is an amazing find. Claudia and her teachers have perfected a balanced practice that connects the mind, body and brain. Through their command of the anatomy, they take you on a journey that explains the impact of each pose on your body and mind, seamlessly engaging your intellect in the process. The cheerful class environment spreads positivity and the serene setting is a fantastic reprise from the hustle and bustle of ones day. I highly recommend this practice for one and all.

I have taken yoga classes all over the Triangle, and Y Respira definitely stands out as the most special. Claudia is a teacher in a deeper sense than any other yoga teachers I've encountered in the area. It's not just her knowledge of anatomy or her careful attention to each student: There's something more, something deeply healing about her studio. That's why I chose to do my yoga teacher training with her. She came highly recommended by word of mouth, and it was all true. So glad to have found this life-changing place in Raleigh and to have her mentorship.

This is by far the best yoga class I have been to. Claudia helps you connect with your body and makes sure you are doing each move correctly and with intention. I feel so much peace and relaxation during and after class. I feel bliss, joy and feel like I can take on the world while leaving all stresses behind! It is truly an amazing experience and Claudia is a great teacher!

Raleigh NC Yoga is so much more than just a yoga studio. It is a place to get away from it. A place to invest in yourself. And, a place to learn valuable skills that help you every single day of your life - breathing, posture, moderation, compassion (for yourself and others), and so much more. The classes are wonderful, the workshops and retreats (including horse yoga) are amazing and you will love the Claudia, the owner.
