Akirayoga – Claire Green
Welcome yoga friends; I’m Claire, a yoga teacher, yoga therapist & a passionate Yin yogi. I offer Yin Yoga teacher training & Vinyasa/Yin Yoga teacher training in Bali, & online Yin yoga teacher training, seasonal self-care courses & YouTube classes.
All my teacher training has been designed to teach you fundamental philosophy & meridian theory principles & will guide you on how to tangibly use these concepts in the practical application of the Yin yoga practice. Therefore, providing a space where you can turn your knowledge into action & apply these principles to yourself before teaching others.
The authentic experience of Yin yoga is an inside to outside job. The Yin yoga asana is merely a reflection of our inner awareness, our intention, & our attitude. By applying fundamental concepts, my aim is for you to become empowered as your own teacher.
Anatomy is also so essential, & so is learning to both understand & still the mind. Therefore, each training also places high importance on functional yoga anatomy & skeletal differences & provides pranayama & meditation progressive programs, together with contemplative practices to build emotional resilience.
With essential teaching tools & opportunities for you to practice teaching in a supportive way, as a Yoga Alliance school, I offer you professional learning at the highest standard, which is integral to this accreditation.
My Background
I started practicing yoga 22 years ago following having sciatica & pelvic pain. Also suffering from anxiety & a high alert state as a young adult, self-medication was a habitual pattern in numerous ways. Yoga entered my life after stumbling across a yoga video at a yard sale. Due to social anxiety, it was very much a self-taught personal practice, not entering a class for two years. As an empathetic individual, yoga enabled a tapping into skills to help others rather than feeling disconnected from the world.
Prior experience in psychology & criminology, working with the National Probation Service, proceeding to a yoga program manager role for the Adult Education Service in England. Residing now in Bali, my offerings are inclusive, holistic & therapeutic, finding equal emphasis on strength building of the mind, body & soul & graceful acceptance. Akira in Sanskrit means ‘graceful strength’.
“Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self.”
–The Bhagavad Gita

Yin Yoga Self Care
Both seasonal attributions & elements can be found within human existence & provide a blueprint that shows how nature interacts with the body. Seasonal Yin Yoga Self-care is how we can cope better with daily stressors & includes everything related to staying physically healthy, nutrition, & interactions with others. Taking time out to check in with how we are taking care of our health & well-being & allowing ourselves to reflect on how we’re doing can provide space to listen to what our body & mind needs.
These five separate Yin yoga seasonal self-care short courses will gently connect you back with nature. You will learn how we relate to both the seasons & elements & how to incorporate Yin yoga & Chinese medicine tools to create wellness. By paying attention to how our bodies work & understanding the connectivity of the emotional with the physical & with nature, we can find a better balance in our bodies & lives.
