Welcome & Namaste

The HALIA Collective is a yoga collective based in Baltimore, MD with a focus on breath, sound healing, and somatic connection.

The name, Halia, derives from many languages including Hawaiian, Malay, and Ukrainian - but the Greek origin of the word connects most to:

~ The vastness of the sea,
~ fluidity,
~ and depth

that we strive to find through our classes.

Our Teachers

Meet Our Teachers

Claire Galloway

Founder & Instructor

Self-Myofascial Massage & Vinyasa Flow

With a foundation in various styles of dance, Claire discovered that connection to body and breath were key to her development as a singing artist. As she has explored more of the science of somatics and breath's connection to the nervous system, it has become clear that it movement, breath, vocalization, and massage are a medicine for so many of today's challenges and ailments. Her classes are a combination of yoga flows, guided breath work, and self-myofascial massage using some of TuneUp Fitness's products - or your own hands and yoga tools. She is RYT 200, certified in the Role Model Method and Body by Breath through TuneUp Fitness, and the founder of HALIA Collective.

They have been practicing yoga and meditation for 8 years, and teaching for 4 years. In 2025, they were certified as a sound healer, and are working to incorporate the power of sound, music, and the human voice into their personal practice and public offerings.
