 Just wanted to sat thank you for  these beautiful days of yoga you gave to us.  I feel so enriched by every moment of it and delighted I’ll have your recording. A. F, USA

 Your yoga sessions have been the most enjoyable and rewarding classes.  Although I was familiar with several poses, your additions of philosophy and the history of yoga added so much- especially Yoga Nidra, the most relaxing of all!

Thank you for the week of yoga Claire! It was the perfect reintroduction tot he world of yoga.  Your classes were very warm and welcoming and your guidance reassuring.  After only a week, I can feel a noticible openness in my shoulders. Thanks! Ryan, Australia

Although, I’ve practised yoga weekly for many years, Claires’ weeklong series (morning and evening) was my first intensive yoga course.  I would highly recommend Claires’ classes.  I found her to be a thoughtful, knowledgeable and supportive instruction who gave insight and background to the yoga practice while gently guiding us into increasingly challenging postures.  Claire was inspiring!  I look forward to taking classes with her in the future.

Thank you, Claire again and again for your beautiful positive energy that u brought to every exercise. I wish to have this kind of experience more often. I hope for another week like this with u very soon. Lucia, Slovakia

 

Yoga and the Planets Weekend Intensive, Belguim

 My name is Tom Scharre, and I am a 23 year-old motivated yoga-practioner, aspiring to become a teacher myself in the nearby future. I have travellePlanetwendbelguimposterd across the country, and had to make a lot of sacrifices in order to be able to attend Claire’s Yoga course ‘Yoga and the Planets’. During the last year, I have had several yoga classes from Claire, and I am every time eagerly waiting for the next one. Claire is a yoga-teacher who has all the qualities of a good yoga-teacher. She performs the asana’s perfectly herself and is able to correct people.  She prepares her classes in great detail, is always very cheerful and happy and transforms this energy in every class and she teaches with great concern to her students. I personally believe that these are without a doubt the most important characteristics that any yoga-teacher should have. Therefore I fully recommend Claire as a teacher.
Tom Scharre, Belguim

This was definitely one of the best yoga workshops I’ve been to. I’ve been doing yoga before and I also have some knowledge about planets and their influence on us, but in my mind and in practice – I could never connect these two. And that is what you Claire did in this workshop. You connected yoga asana with the energy of the planets in such natural and clear way and you made me more aware not only of my body but also of the fact that everything and everybody in this Universe is interconnected. Thank you so much for that. I also have to mention how much I appreciate your gentle mood and approach which made everybody on workshop feel very nice and pleasant.

Hi after this wonderful weekend, I feel better in my practice. I liked Claire’s sympathy, the rhythm between asana and knowledge, the intervention of musicians, the old stories of India, and to learn about the planets. I feel more in unity all my encouragements and that can profit at lot of persons. Thanks il y a quelques secondes J’aime

´You are a real yoga teacher.  I was impressed with all your knowledge of the planets and the way you combined the planets with the asanas and also the combinations of the asanas and their stories.´

Massages

Hallo zusammen, ich durfte Claire und ihre Massage in der Yoga-Woche in der Slowakei genießen. Es war wunderbar. Die Massage ist sehr sanft und nicht so intensiv, trotzdem hatte ich das Gefühl, dass sich mein ganze Körper voll entspannt. Ihre Hände sind einfach “magic”. So wie sie die Massage durchführt und natürlich ihre positive Energie und Persönlichkeit sind einfach heillend. Ich war danach einfach wie ein neugeborene Mensch. Vielen Dank liebe Claire und ich freue mich jetzt schon auf das nächster Mal. Miri, Germany

Ma Chere Claire. Merci de nouveau pour cette belle semaine de yoga que nous avons tous passe ensemble.Ue semaine de pur bonheur.Le soleil, la nature, les balades et en plus ton massages relaxent de la tete ou shiatsu. thank you again. Lucia, Paris

I had the opportunity to get a post yoga massage from Claire and I was very impressed. I have not had this type of massage before, and what I really love is even though it feels light and wonderful, it works very deep. I have left feeling less tensed and relaxed, its like my body has released a lot and this feeling stayed with me for a very long time.

It simply feels like its not just the technique Claire is using, but there is a magic in her hands. She has also very beautiful energy and her presence felt so comforting. I will definitely be back for the next one!

Ja som mala moznost mat masaz od Claire a naozaj som bola velmi milo prekvapena. Tento typ masaze som nikdy nemala predtym, a co sa mi velmi pacilo je ze napriek tomu ze ta masaz nie je intentizna, citim ze pracovala hlboko. Cele telo sa zrelaxovala, a ja som odisla uvolnena, a tento krasny pocit ostal so mnou este dlho.

Citit ze Claire nielen ze ma dobru techiku ale jej ruky su carovne a jej energia velmi krasna, Cize len byt v jej blizkosti a clovek sa uvolni. Urcite sa tesim na dalsiu masaz,. L, Slovakia

After this experience, I am so refreshed and calm.  I feel the energy flowing through my whole body.  Your hands with the combination with the sea and nature are real heaven.  Thanks you a lot, it was absolutely divine. Brana, Serbia
