About Claire

From a very early age, I was interested in what made a person a happy person.

What made a person cause suffering for others?

And what could one do to inoculate oneself from pain?

My journey took me from London to New York and then to Los Angeles. I picked up a husband and a daughter and a yoga studio along the way.

And found out you cannot inoculate yourself from pain, no matter how much yoga or meditating you do.

But…I did uncover some pretty incredible tools along the way that can help us live with less pain, more freedom and definitely more joy. That there are ways to gain more steadiness and hold onto to more ease.

Are you someone that feels stiff, immobile, or that just walking up a flight of stairs reveals every ache and pain in your body? Or is your mind constantly jumping from one thing to another, never settling and you’re exhausted at the end of the day even though you haven’t really moved? Or perhaps, stress is constant companion, so much so that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to be easy and breezy? Then you need to practice Yoga. Slowly you will uncover yourself again and again. It is a coming home. Connect with me to find the right class and the right teacher. Life is too short not to feel good in your body, heart and mind.

Occasionally there is a pain or a movement that just won’t let up, no matter what you do. This is the time for NeuroKinetic Therapy. It feels like an open secret, this marvelous technique that tracks down pain patterns and reverses them. For good.

How do you breath? Do you know that there is a wrong way and a right way to breathe? That perhaps your breathing patterns are creating and keeping you in longer stress cycles than necessary. Buteyko breathing method has been an incredible journey into realizing that even me, yogi for 20 plus years still had some work to do on her breath pattern. While mine was not of the stress related kind, I opened my mouth after about 10 minutes of cardiovascular work to breathe.

This feeds into how do you think? I can see that all of the above pain feeds like a loop into how we think about ourselves and the world. They are inter-connected and by being kind to ourselves and taking the time to address the layers of the Self we can ease up on the negative loops we all get caught up in.

And last but not least, I train yoga students to become yoga teachers. If you’re interested in become a teacher or are one already but feels they need more skills, reach out. I’d love to help you get you on a path to expressing your love of yoga and gifting it to others.
