Will Clark: Teacher Spotlight April 2022

Will Clark is a Sea Change Yoga teacher at Milestone Recovery in Old Orchard Beach. He has been teaching with Sea Change and at Milestone since 2019, and is passionate about how yoga can support people in recovery. Will always takes the time to connect with his students before and after classes at Milestone, and students appreciate hearing Will’s stories– it makes a difference to know their yoga teacher understands what they are going through.

Will shares, “The first time I did yoga, I was in a maximum security facility. I remembered how I felt after practicing that first time. So when I got out, I was finally ready to make a difference, to change my life, and the one thing that popped up was yoga.” 

Will’s experiences as a formerly incarcerated person and someone in recovery strengthen his connection with his students.

“People may have hit their rock bottom and they’re ready to do something different with their life, and this place is great for that,” Will said about teaching at Milestone.

“At the ending of every class I get this sense of overwhelming gratitude that just shoots through my body… Coming from where I’ve been to where I am now is amazing to me,” said Will. 

All of us at Sea Change Yoga are extremely grateful to have Will as part of our Sea Change family. His humility and optimism are daily reminders for us to slow down and appreciate all that we have.
