The YAY Team!

Claire Hu
Co-President

Claire is a senior in Saybrook majoring in cognitive science. She became RYT 200-hour certified her junior year of high school. Her style is a mix of restorative, hatha, and vinyasa. Yoga has been an amazing part of her spiritual growth, an outlet for stress, and has taught her so much about herself and others. You can find her wandering out to the far reaches of the divinity school, and she can't wait to see the YAY family grow.

Jamie Howie
Co-President

Jamie is a sophomore in Davenport College from Aspen, Colorado. She is a tentative art history and English double major. Jamie earned her 100-hour in the summer of 2018 in Costa Rica, but is planning to go back and finish the 200-hour training. She became interested in yoga through her mother, who is also a yoga and meditation instructor. Yoga has really come in handy for her in sports as well, servicing her well during her rehab from soccer injuries. She loves playing various club sports, exploring museums, trying new restaurants, traveling, and FaceTiming her sisters.

Genevieve Liu

Treasurer

Genevieve is a junior in Berkeley College who is interested in policy and economics. She is from Chicago (the city!) and and a few things she loves are: nature runs, memoirs written by powerful women, bell bottom jeans, and indie movie theaters. You can often find her at Jo Jo’s coffee shop FaceTiming her mom. Genevieve is so excited to serve as YAY’s VP and share some power vinyasa and restorative yoga love.

Cami is a senior in Davenport, majoring in Theatre Studies from Los Angeles, California.

She received her RYT-200 certification in summer 2017 from @corepoweryoga. Ask her about her wild obsession with avocados, or her favorite way to make guacamole really good, and while you’re at it, you might as well check out her healthy food & yoga instagram @camikeepseatingthings! She’s super excited to teach yoga for a second year with Yogis at Yale!
