The Mamata Yoga Story
Mamata Yoga was created in 2011 after Program Director Clare Newman discovered she was pregnant with her second child and decided to create a prenatal yoga teacher training program to help create a solid unification of current yoga instructors and professionals who are interested in assisting women throughout pregnancy. Mamata Yoga has been a Registered Yoga School with the Yoga Alliance since 2011.
We've been approved by the Yoga Alliance to teach this Online through 2023. We only offer this Online Certified Training 3 times each year so would love to have you choose your co-hort and join us in this journey of movement and mindfulness!
Meet the woman behind Mamata Yoga
Clare Newman
Hello beautiful souls!
My name is Clare and I'm the Founder & Program Director of Mamata Yoga. I'm also a mother of three with over 23 years of experience in Hatha, Bikram, Anusara, Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Kid's Yoga, Prenatal and Postpartum Yoga.
I studied Iyengar yoga intensively for over 4 years, attending the teacher training program at the Yoga Studio College of Alberta in 2005 (Certified).
I am an experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500), Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher (RCYT) and a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT) with the Yoga Alliance.
I have assisted and lead 200-hour Teacher Training courses with Yoga Alliance since 2007 and am honoured to be the Program Director and co-facilitator for the 200 Yoga Teacher Training at Vikara Yoga Academy.
In 2005 I became a certified Doula from Global Birthing Institute. For years I volunteered at the Terra Association and assisted in helping teens prepare for Labour + Delivery and motherhood. I also taught several weekly prenatal yoga classes in Edmonton and surrounding cities.
Retirement as a Doula called early when I discovered I was pregnant with my first child in 2008 and made the dedication to focus my teachings on yoga.
I look forward to serving you and guiding you through your prenatal yoga training and can't wait to welcome you with open arms to the Mamata Yoga family!
