“I found Claire’s wonderful prenatal class about 6 months into my pregnancy and it has been absolutely one of the best parts of my journey into motherhood. I instantly felt connected to Claire and the other pregnant women in the class, it is such a safe and welcoming space. This is so much more than just a yoga class, it gives you space to breathe, an opportunity to share your experiences with other women and a time to truly switch off in what can be an overwhelming period. I have felt so much more empowered and confident in my body and my abilities to birth my baby since practicing with Claire. My baby will be here any day and I know already I will miss Claire’s class.”

About Claire…

Claire first stepped onto the path of yoga during her own pregnancy over 20 years ago, and has been curious about many styles and been taught by many teachers since then; aware that this is a path that she will remain on in the role of student as well as teacher.

Since 2017 Claire’s main trainings have been in vinyasa, pregnancy and yin yoga.

Her class styles, whatever their nature, is that of nurturing the soul, inviting you to connect inwardly as she holds a kind and loving space for you to explore your practice within.

She has been working closely with pregnant women for over ten years now, originally through her role as a reflexologist. She is happy to treat reflexology pre-conceptually as well as throughout pregnancy, and it naturally expands into her yoga teachings in more recent years. Claire believes that both yoga and reflexology can support you - both physically and emotionally - not only throughout your pregnancy but onwards into motherhood.
