Kate & Claire

We go back a long way, having been at school together !

We didn’t see each other for 35 years, and then reconnected through our love of mantra and chanting on a weekend retreat in 2023 with Deva Premal and Miten in Yorkshire. Since then we’ve taught retreats in Spain and Costa Rica.

Our teaching styles complement each other nicely.

Claire loves teaching dynamic flow yogas, but balances this out beautifully with breathwork.

Claire is passionate about working with the Blind Community, teaching classes for BlindAid, a charity organization that provides support and services to people with visual impairments. As well as offering her clients meditations, sound healing and a variety of day & weekend retreats throughout the year.

Kate has been teaching yoga since 2004, and trained with the British Wheel of Yoga. Kate has undertaken numerous training courses including Yoga for Healthy Lower Backs, Restorative yoga, Yoga Nidra, Vagal Toning and Menopause Yoga.
