“This class is a gratitude and heart opening format for all of us to be thankful for our teachers in whatever way they show up in our lives. This class sequence is in honor of my daughter, Corrina Richards, who created Sweat & Surrender in 2012 and was a teacher at WHY up until her GBM diagnosis September 2018. Corrina has defied all medical odds and is doing well living a full and tumor free life. Corrina was and still is my teacher.”

When not on the mat, you will most likely find Claudia at the local reservoir hiking with friends or Hugo, Corrina’s mini golden doodle. Since retiring from UConn Law in May 2019 Claudia took on the role of Corrina and David’s personal vegan weekday chef. You may find her vegan cooking and Hugo hiking posts @ IG #claudia_hallas with the tag line “the amateur vegan chef”.
