Guest Testimonials
Just completed the Yin Yoga Teaching course with Claire. I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 weeks, loved it actually!! Claire is a very accomplished Teacher in all aspects of Yoga. Her passion shines through with every word and action. The group of strangers was from all across the globe and by the end of the 2 weeks were warm friends united by Yin. I highly recommend Claire’s course for Yoga teachers and anyone wanting to learn more about Yin for their own practice.
I recently completed my yin yoga teacher training course with Claire. Claire is a fantastic teacher: very professional but always maintains a sense of fun. Claire demonstrated very thorough theoretical and practical knowledge of yin yoga. In just 2 weeks she was able to help me listen to my own body and intuitively respond to what my body needs in yin yoga shapes more so than any other yin yoga teacher has before. Claire is also very affable and supported team bonding – by the end of the weeks, all of us attending the yin yoga training group were good friends. I was really happy with my experience – well worth the time and money.
