Testimonials

“After having my second son, I was looking to get back into yoga for the mental and health benefits. Claire was amazing with the postnatal journey, from being flexible when babies were not cooperating, to working around sickness and setting up a video call to allow me to still participate.

She is a great teacher and I felt the course to be hugely beneficial as it felt very personalised. After 8 weeks, I feel like I would be able to participate in a normal yoga class again.

Thanks Claire, you were amazing and it was a great experience.”

“Thanks Claire! I think you are a very genuine and approachable facilitator which made the group dynamic flow.
We also had a lovely group of people!

I found you were able to read the room and know how to reflect back to others as well. You are a really good listener.
The structure being informal suited me. ”

“I have just finished a term of the Prenatal Yoga Program with Claire and I cannot recommend this highly enough to anyone that is pregnant and looking for something to help prepare their mind, body and soul for the journey ahead.

Sessions with Claire exceeded my expectations and have really helped me understand my body in relation to pregnancy and preparation for birth and most importantly to me, it has been a welcome time of reflection, mental preparation and learning in amongst the chaos that is navigating a first pregnancy.

Claire has created a welcoming and safe environment, free of judgement or pressure and she truly knows how to best support the people she is working with. It is evident that she has a wealth of knowledge, a very open and generous spirit and fantastic experience that has brought her to where she is now.

Thank you Claire for everything!”

“I enjoyed the format of the program: having points to focus on and take in through movement and meditation felt really good. It meant I was able to focus on the topic and use different methods to trigger thoughts and responses.

I found the reflection sections enjoyable and though provoking to hear other people’s thoughts and ideas.

Thankyou! I absolutely loved it!”

“An incredible program to join postpartum. I was worried about how much I could do, taking baby out and about with me but Claire is amazing! Such a welcoming, safe space. Class was adaptable for both me and bub and relearning how to move your body post baby in small safe ways.

I would recommend this to every mum, don’t worry if you haven’t experienced yoga before.”

“Such a positive experience. Claire is very calming and centreing.

At the start, I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t more exercise... but I was shown that yoga was so much more. I was also a little sceptical because I didn’t think yoga would be for me - but I loved it!

...It was a wonderful way to meet other Mums and share parenting experiences. Thankyou so much.”

“I absolutely loved Practical Yoga Philosophy for Parenthood, attending the course was the highlight of my week. Claire’s warm, calm, open and kind nature was such a lovely energy to learn from. I loved engaging with the course teachings through my week and returning each week, to hear how others had interacted with the course work during their week.

I did the course whilst pregnant and it was a lovely way to prepare myself for parenthood with practical tools, I’m excited to revisit the course as a parent now. I highly recommend this course, it would be enriching whilst pregnant or at any stage of parenting.”

“I have recently given birth after completing online prenatal yoga classes with Claire. I had received my first round of classes from a fellow pregnant friend but once these were completed I decided to continue on as I found the classes to be the most beneficial resource as a first time Mum especially when hospital antenatal classes were no longer being offered during COVID.

Claire’s deep understanding and knowledge of Yoga along with her care, flexibility and intuition made every class incredibly valuable. I always took something away to use to help cope with the changes during pregnancy and to use later during the birthing process.

Because I had an extensive tool belt of positions, breathing techniques and knowledge gained in Claire’s classes I was able to enter my first birth experience with calmness, confidence and positivity. These skills proved to be priceless throughout the birth! I can’t thank you enough Claire!”

“Claire’s explanation of the poses is fantastic and she has a great way of catering for people’s needs. She offers differing levels of each pose so that everyone can work to their full potential. I highly recommend Claire’s classes, each class was different and vibrant.”

“I really enjoyed the poses and attention in a small group. It was great to be offered alternative poses. I liked the ‘sahaja’ time to feel into my body and loved the nurturing feeling with the bolster poses. Thankyou for a beautiful course.”

“Claire’s knowledge of the mind/gut and her detox workshop was wonderful. Many things came up for processing and I enjoyed the space she created for that. Her classes are equally helpful and knowledgeable.”

“I attended Claire’s yoga classes and her technique and manner in which she held class was nothing more than amazing. I am a woman over fifty and she was always aware of my ability or limitations. I enjoyed all the yoga classes.”

“I’ve just completed my second, back-to-back series of prenatal yoga classes with Claire. My goals heading into these classes were to connect more with my own body and with my baby as well as to relax and keep active as my pregnancy progressed. The classes have ticked all those boxes as well as providing a welcome opportunity to share and laugh with other mums-to-be.

Claire was so understanding and accommodating of our growing bodies and changing abilities, sharing many techniques that have helped me throughout pregnancy (and that will hopefully assist in birth too!).

I particularly enjoyed the private setting, small class size and Claire’s gentle and adaptive approach to teaching. Whatever your skill level (even if you’re a complete beginner) I highly recommend these classes.”

“Claire is a truly incredible yoga instructor. I have been fortunate enough to attend Claire’s yoga workshops and classes and couldn’t recommend her more.

She is very connected to what the class needs on a particular day and will intuitively modify the class style based on the feel of the room. She has a beautiful teaching style and you will always leave the class feeling renewed and motivated.

Through her workshops in particular, Claire conveys her vast knowledge of yoga and our connection with our bodies, mind and external environment in a way that is easily understood by first timers and experienced yogis. You won’t be disappointed!”
