Claire Staunton
I was introduced to yoga in my late teens due to my scoliosis and found it to be hugely beneficial back then.The years passed on and I began a love affair with Bikram yoga 8 years ago. I went on to do Bikram training in LA 2012. I then started a regular vinyasa practice (which became my new love ) I followed it with the Barken vinyasa training in Florida 2014. I then decided to supplement my knowledge on core based movement and I completed Pilates training with the NTC in 2015.
I had always wanted to travel to India and study yoga, so in 2015 I travelled to Kolkata in India and studied yoga therapy with Ghosh Yoga College. This was indeed a life changing experience and solidified my belief in the healing powers of yoga. I enjoy immensely guiding people through a yoga practice and assisting them in exploring the deepest part of themselves.
