Claire-Louise is a thoughtful, careful, patient and precise #yoga teacher. Her classes in #Bristol rehabilitated, strengthened and educated me. I was out of practice when I first attended Claire-Louise’s classes. Two years previously I had developed sciatica and a slipped disc. There were several contributing factors to the slipped disc but the way I had been practicing yoga had not helped. I had pushed myself without understanding the correct way to hold a pose. I immediately appreciated the benefit of Claire-Louise’s teaching approach. Although the poses were gentle, I was amazed how stretched I felt afterwards. I was intrigued. I attended Claire-Louise’s classes weekly for five years. In a small class setting and also sometimes one-to-one, I learned for the first time how to keep a pose without over-extending. The poses seem simple but they have a powerful effect, and gradually I got stronger and fitter. I now also do a more challenging yoga that I could never have done without Yoga with Claire-Louise. Claire-Louise gives detailed instructions and gentle correction. She pays minute attention to the body’s workings and translates her findings into clear instruction. She also introduces mindfulness exercises which are invaluable for keeping calm in a stressful world. Thank you, Claire-Louise. More...

Yoga sessions that are individually tailored to those in the room. Great mix of mindfulness and yoga by a truly experienced yoga and mindfulness teacher. Lots of offer from adult classes, yoga activities for children and families, 1:1 yoga therapy and mindfulness course to boot! Really recommend claire-louise and mindful lives. More...

I can highly recommend Claire-Louise’s weekly Restorative Yoga sessions that I have recently attended at the Old Library on a Monday.   Claire-Louise patiently eases us all in to “arrive in the space” after we all arrive in differing states of tiredness and stress and takes the time to ask us all how we are feeling and how our weeks have been  …. Then that often frazzled Monday evening feeling gradually melts away as she takes us clearly and step by step through a varied range of  standing/sitting/kneeling/even lying mat routines explaining as we go which  areas of the body will benefit .. and I certainly do feel the benefits in terms of feeling calmer in my mind no matter what may have been on it before coming to class and most of all the next day when I really do feel much more supple, loosened up and energised. Now I am very much looking forward to continuing next term with Claire-Louise’s new Mindfulness class which will incorporate some yoga making it a perfect blend. More...
