Clara Sherman studied at Naropa University and obtained her MA degree in Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling in 2023. Her training at Naropa rooted her in traditions that focus on person-centered, wholistic healing. These traditions include practices that incorporate relational and somatic practices, as well as exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness as meaningful paths to transformational healing.

In 2021, Clara started dancing bachata and she quickly saw how much somatic relational healing could be possible in partner dance. In 2023, she started teaching partner dance and was truly taken with helping her students cultivate and deepen their connection with themselves and with their dance partner through both non-verbal and verbal communication.
