44: From Burnout to Balance: How Claudia Vas Left Corporate Life for a Fulfilling Career in Yoga

In this episode, I sit down with Claudia Vas, who shares her inspiring journey of leaving a 20-year career to follow her passion for yoga. Claudia opens up about how the stress and unhappiness of her previous job even affected her physically—and how, remarkably, her chronic back pain disappeared once she made the brave decision to pursue yoga full-time. Claudia is now an E-RYT500 yoga teacher and educator focused on physical and mental health, stress management, and mindfulness. Her approach centers on careful anatomical alignment and adapting yoga to fit each individual, guided by her belief that “yoga should be adapted to the person, not the person to yoga.” Claudia’s story is a powerful reminder of the transformation that’s possible when we follow our true calling. Tune in to hear her journey of growth, resilience, and lifelong learning.
