WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Mindful Yoga 4 All Student
"I like the way you check out our personal concerns and build that into the practice.
I really like the way you focus on each bit of the body from the toes up."
Anna, Restorative Yoga Student
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.
Louise 1:1 Therapy
This is the one night of the week that I actually sleep soundly and I'm sure it's due to the deep restorative relaxation session Claire-Louise guides us through. I have learnt the most amazing insights into the power of breathing - just breathe and stress goes and the shoulders drop!
