Born in Oklahoma and shaped by years of study and travel, Clayton Horton is an experienced, internationally recognized KPJAYI Certified Ashtanga yoga teacher with a deep commitment to authentic practice. His path began at age 21 in San Francisco, when his mother brought him to a pranayama class—a moment that opened the door to yoga and set his life in motion. After years of dedicated practice and a transformative journey to India, he began teaching in 1996.
Clayton approaches yoga as a healing path back to the Self, one that can help cultivate genuine peace and happiness from within. His teaching is grounded in kindness, balance, and respect for nature, values that continue to shape both his personal life and the way he shares the practice. Students can expect an inspiring presence, a thoughtful approach, and a strong connection to the deeper purpose of yoga.
