About Me

I’m Claire, yogini and tantrika, and I’ve been on a wellness and spiritual journey since my late teens when I stumbled upon my first yoga class through curiosity. Since then, I’ve had many wonderful life experiences which have led me to my calling. I can safely say that I’m passionate about helping people to connect to their authentic, ecstatic radiance and well-being. For me, it is what the planet needs right now more than ever – radiant, connected, ecstatic women, full of health and wellness.

It was at university when studying for a business degree that I became interested in exercise and nutrition, but most importantly, it was the connection that I had made between how great I could feel when exercising and eating healthy foods, compared to when I wasn’t.

In 2005 I decided to make the leap and train to be a personal trainer.  After qualifying, I began teaching as a group fitness instructor and personal trainer in some of London’s top gyms.

I suffered a back injury in 2006 which led me to practise yoga consistently.  Back then, I practised as a way of improving my flexibility from all of the group fitness classes I was teaching and healing my back injury, as well as managing the stresses and strains of being a solopreneur running my own business.  I did not know it at the time, but this was just the tip of the iceberg of what yoga had to offer.

In 2009 I travelled to Goa India to study Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga at The Ayurvedic Natural Health Centre, where I completed my first 200HR training.  This paved the way for me to teach yoga classes as well as one-and-one session and run my wellness practice and business online from Muswell Hill London.  I also mentor newly qualified yoga teachers.

I consider myself a lifelong student – I’m currently studying Tantra which is setting my soul on fire.  I also have a passion for sharing my knowledge of Ayurveda and plant-based cooking/lifestyle.

I’m particularly enthused by assisting women.  Once we’ve removed the stresses and strains, I love seeing her authentic natural radiance shine through.  I’d love to meet and work with you one day too and help you with your transformation.
