Kings Heath Yoga With Yogi Claire

I have practiced yoga for 20+ years and Claire is the best teacher I have ever been to. She puts so much thought and feeling into each and every class, making it such a rich and empowering experience. She doesn't place an emphasis and levels or advancements, more encourages you to go at your own pace, making the classes incredibly inclusive and not at all intimidating like many other studios I have tried in the area. I won't go anywhere else now! xxx

Yoga classes with Claire are brilliantly structured, starting with an immediately relaxing introduction which puts you at ease, a considered build up of postures which progressively push your balance and stamina, and a relaxing wind-down - which encourages you to reflect upon your practice and feel good about your accomplishments that day, regardless of skill. Claire considers multiple posture options - which caters for beginners like me, as well as experienced Yogis. Each class is filled with careful explanations and reasons for each posture, coupled with insight into the history and benefits of Yoga practice as a whole. There is a strong focus on the breath throughout the practice, which both helps improve focus and stamina, but also relaxation. I always leave classes with Claire feeling relaxed and refreshed - brilliant classes!
