Nourish & Restore

Yoga can involve making shapes, but there is so much more to this beautiful practice.

Since my first class in 1991 yoga has been a source of support, especially during times of change. I now love sharing the benefits of yoga with others.  My relationship with the practice has not been without bumps in the road; I understand how self-care can be challenging at times, often when we need it most!  Self-acceptance and compassion are an important part of my yoga journey, and I aim to invite this ever-evolving process for all when I teach.

Breath led movement, fluidity and stillness, interwoven with a little yoga philosophy and poetry, are all ingredients in my classes. I encourage self-enquiry and deep listening: the opportunity to tune in and respond to what you need.

Yoga for All

I aim to provide accessible yoga classes which welcome diversity.

However you are feeling on the day; tired or energised, creaky or fluid, I give lots of options so that you can meet yourself where you are.  Rest is always an option!  

Other offerings include; yoga for Off the Record, a mental health movement by and for young people, wellbeing projects for children and staff in schools, yoga for young performers at Bath Theatre Academy

I also offer one-to-ones, and menopause workshops for the workplace. 

"Claudia was extremely supportive and kind and immediately identified several things that would make downward dog accessible rather than torture!

I would highly recommend her to anyone that wants to improve their practice, with a focus on holistic support, and delightful imagery to describe asana." - Rebecca

Please email me to discuss how I may be able to support you or your organisation.

About Me

Iyengar yoga was my inspiration for many years, later discovering enjoyment of more fluid approaches, training in Krama Vinyasa Tantra (250 hr IYN certified), with Sarah Harlow and Sam Burkey at Yogasara, Bristol.  Other trainings include Menopause Yoga, Yoga Therapy Foundation, Yoga Nidra and Yoga for Female Creativity and Sexuality.   I am grateful for many wonderful and wise teachers; Caroline Pick, Charlie Worthington, Ayala Gill, Uma Dinsmore-Tuli, Tias Little, Melanie Cooper, Josie Harrington, the Chanchanis in India, and Judy Hirsh Sampath, to name some.  

I have a background in performance with an MA in Applied Theatre and love dance, language, and being outside in fields, forests, lakes and the sea! 

If you have any questions I’d love to hear from you.

Mindful Hatha Yoga

A focus on creating balance and relaxation, with lots of connection to breath. The class responds to the needs of the group, and the energy of different seasons or moon cycles.
