Clare Carney
We are so proud, honored and excited to have Dr. Clare Carney join our Hatha team of teachers.
Clare started practicing yoga in 2001 (20 years ago), during graduate school. She attended many styles of yoga, Ashtanga, and Vinyasa, but it was Hatha that she enjoyed the most.
Dr. Carney pursued a Bachelor of Science at the University of South Alabama in Chemistry. She went on to earn a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Vanderbilt University. After a 1 year post-doctorate at South Alabama, she decided to explore her interest in medicine and earned her Medical Doctorate at USA where she also completed her residency training in Internal Medicine.
Clare was born the last of 11 children, and the one who was always trying to get out of school. It has become the family joke that she attended school for 30 years!
Dr. Carney is an Internal Medicine Physician here in Mobile, where her goal is to help guide patients to achieve their individual health goals.
Clare joined the Army National Guard while in medical school and has continued her work helping maintain the medical readiness of the Army with annual healthcare examinations, and physicals, as well as providing medical support during various missions. She is a Major in our Armed Forces.
Clare teaches Hatha at our studio.
"That’s why it’s called a practice.
We have to practice a practice if it is to be of value.”
