Clayton is the director of Greenpath Yoga. He discovered yoga while living in San Francisco, California when his mother took him to a pranayama class at age 21 . After several years of practice and a long trip to India, he began teaching in 1996. To Clayton, yoga is a healing path back to the Self, allowing us to experience true peace and happiness. Being kind and living in balance with nature are qualities that continue to guide his life. Clayton studied with both masters Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and the Greensufi for many years, both of whom gave him great inspiration to practise daily and develop a yogic lifestyle. Clayton received Formal Authorization to teach Ashtanga Yoga from the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute of Mysore, South India in 2003 and he received Level Two Authorization in 2010. He continues his study at the K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute under the direction of Sharath Jois. Clayton's teaching style is traditional yet light hearted and relaxed. He believes that by practising and living yoga, we can transform ourselves and the world around us. According to Clayton, Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a complete and well-balanced system in which an experienced and skilled teacher can help any student 'find their place' within its structure regardless of individual challenges, aptitude and constitution. He travels regularly in Asia, Europe and the Americas to teach workshops, trainings and retreats.
