About Claire
MY YOGA PATH
My Hatha yoga studies started during my University years in the 1980’s in Bath, England. A few years later I was introduced to the practice of Sivananda Yoga in New York and Iyengar Yoga in England. On moving to Switzerland I went to my first Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga class with Bruno Dietziker. It felt like coming home! This powerful, dynamic practice challenged me to the core and changed my life in so many positive ways. It was from this time on that I wanted to share my love and enthusiasm for the practice with others and I began teaching at Yoga Works for Bruno and Airyoga.

Experience
MY EDUCATION
In 2005 I successfully completed an International Teacher Training course in Zürich, under the professional guidance of Clive Radda, Glenn Ceresoli and Lance Schuler. In 2013 I completed my 300 hour International Advanced Teacher Training in Airyoga, Zürich. I regularly visit workshops here and abroad with international yogis such as Shiva Rea, Dharma Mittra, Anna Forrest, David Swenson, amongst others, and had the privilege of joining a week’s workshop with Sri Pattabhi Jois in London in 2000.
​
I qualified as a Hypnotherapist in September 2015 and since then have been working with students to help resolve issues that vary from fear of flying, fear of public speaking, anxiety, stress, burnout, depression, general change in life. More about Hypno Therapy
