I consciously chose Yin Yoga because I am more of a yang person by nature. This week with Claire as well as the visit to Bali was an initiation for my further yoga path, today I am in the middle of a 200h yoga training and can classify the techniques learned at that time much better. Claire is a very experienced teacher who imparts her many years of knowledge of Yin and Chinese medicine in a well-founded and conscientious manner. Nevertheless, one must of course mention the wonderful island of Nusa Lembongan. That rounded off the week for me, it’s a Bali you dream of that got lost on the main island at times. Thank you Claire for your passion and knowledge.

I completed claire’s 55 hr yin YTT and traditional Chinese medicine as my first yoga training and had the best experience. Claire is so passionate about yin it’s contagious! I left with an abundance of deep knowledge and was so grateful. The focus in traditional Chinese medicine was really ideal because the philosophy had a distinct focus. Claire designed the course so beautifully that class flowed perfectly everyday. She was also willing to make adjustments to suit our individual needs. As a person Claire is awesome, fun, smart, and definitely someone I want to be more like. She makes an amazing spiritual mentor and role model. I think this course is really unique and would recommend claire as a yoga instructor to anyone interested in yin.

Claire’s knowledge and passion for all things yin is apparent in her methods of teaching. Claire holds space for all her students and guides you through the training with kindness confidence and compassion.

Claire’s 55hr yin yoga + TCM course was fantastic and very well structured. Her knowledge and experience (especially in traditional Chinese medicine) really inspired me, and it showed that she truly practices what she preaches. Whatever questions you have for her, she’d give very in-depth (yet simple) explanations, and even if she doesn’t know the answers on the spot, she’d put in the effort to find the answers for you quickly. Claire also put in a lot of effort to take care of us during the training to facilitate a positive and nurturing experience for us. After the training, I felt very well equiped with the tools to confidently teach yin yoga classes, but also to incorporate those tools into my own lifestyle.
For anyone interested either to teach yin yoga, deepen their practice, or simply just to live a healthy and nourishing lifestyle, I would highly recommend this training course.

Thank you so much for the fantastic the 100hr Yin yoga TTC!
I loved the balance between classes, lectures and asana labs. You’re such a wonderful and lovely teacher, creating and holding space for all of us, especially when it comes to overwhelming emotions. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge and putting all your heart and passion into adapting the course to the needs of the group. It was such an amazing experience of learning all about yin philosophy paired with self reflection and personal growth. By the end of the training we’ve all managed to be confident in teaching by having you encouraging each one of us to trust in ourselves which enabled us to show our unique personalities while teaching. I am so grateful for your YINspiration! Can’t wait to start my own yin journey! Sending love and hugs!

Completed my 55hr Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Claire last week and the lessons and teachings I got from this week are still unfolding in my life right now.
What a week! Everyday I felt I learnt a big “life lesson”, that went so much further for me than just being about what happens on the yoga mat, priceless information, so grateful.
Clare goes above and beyond for her students, teaching in ways that cater to different forms of learning – which for me was great, as I much more of a visual/practical learner.
The week was structured perfectly and this made it easy to digest all the wonderful Information we were being given.
Clare truly knows her stuff, and you can see it’s an embodied learning journey she has gone on, to now be able to share it with our lucky selves.
Couldn’t suggest this course and Clare any higher, I will be coming back to do my 200hr teacher training with Clare as soon as I can!
Thank you for a life changing week, truly

I took Claire’s 50 hour online yin yoga teacher training and Chinese medicine course (Yoga Alliance CEU). Claire’s calm and approachable manner invites you to learn and explore this fascinating course, and the attention to detail and thorough explanations of the concepts made them easy to understand and apply to my teaching. I was so impressed by Claire that I signed up for all her classes!!

I just completed the Yin Yoga, Myofascial Release and Acupressure points Online Course with Akira Yoga. Claire is very clear, sweet and calm, and the information provided is very much like her I have been teaching Yoga for 11 years and I have learnt a lot of new interesting things that my students are going to love. I recommend this course to all other Teachers out there who are looking to improve themselves and improve the quality of their yoga classes. Thank you Claire.

Teacher Claire’s teaching style, her communication skills, her mastery of the training materials & the subjects she teaches are amazing & the class environment is amazing, comfortable & clean. Claire’s teaching materials are professionally thought out & of value that you won’t find anywhere else. Thank you Audrey who arranged all the learning conditions with us, Tia who taught the morning lesson in accordance with Claire’s theory & Tia who sings beautifully. Yin Yoga is closely related to ancient Chinese traditional medicine & it’s amazing how the human mind & body are connected. Loved that many good results could be achieved by practicing no force, no violence, no pain Yin Yoga poses. Our school team, classmates & all the students came from different countries. I think that after participating in a 100 h Yin Yoga teacher course, I invariably incorporate the rhythm of the Yin side into myself and my lessons.

I learnt so much not only about teaching but also about my own practice, met so many amazing people including Audrey, Pilu and Claire who run the course, and got to live on the beautiful island of Nusa Lembongan for a month. If you’re thinking about signing up for teacher training do it, you won’t regret it!

Had a great week with Claire and a small group of yogis on Gili Air. The 55 hr yin training was a great introduction for me into teacher training, taoism, anatomy, meridians and all things yin. Claire is a fantastic teacher and all round human who’s attentive, compassionate, understanding and flexible. She genuinely does her best to make sure the group has the best possible experience and adapts to accommodate the groups needs. Everyone walked away with the knowledge to understand, practice, create and teach thoughtful yin classes. Thanks Claire! x

Just completed the Yin Yoga Teaching course with Claire. I thoroughly enjoyed the week, loved it actually!! Claire is a very accomplished Teacher in all aspects of Yoga. Her passion shines though with every word and action. The group of strangers were from all across the globe and by the end of the week were warm friends united by Yin. I highly recommend Claire’s course for Yoga teachers and anyone wanting to learn more about Yin for their own practice.
Jess Williams Dec 2019 Akirayoga Facebook Review
I recently completed my yin yoga teacher training curse with Claire. Claire is a fantastic teacher: very professional but always maintains a sense of fun. Claire demonstrated very thorough theoretical and practical knowledge of yin yoga. In just a week she was able to help me listen to my own body and intuitively respond to what my body needs in yin yoga shapes more so than any other yin yoga teacher has before. As I am someone who is already naturally quite flexible, a lot of yin yoga teachers “give up” on me as they find it difficult to offer variations – but Claire offered me guidance that helped me get deeper into my body. Claire is also very affable and supported team bonding – by the end of the week, all of us attending the yin yoga training group were good friends. I was really happy with my experience – well worth the time and money.

I recently completed Claire’s Yin Yoga online. The timing for this wonderful self-study invitation has overlapped perfectly with where I’ve been lately in my journey of growing and healing. Thank you Akirayoga for the beautiful space you created and held. I appreciated the ways you modeled the power of silence and going inward—of listening with our entire body. I love that it included Taoism, dharma, Chinese medicine. this course uncovered the answers I was searching for. It opened the door to the experiences I needed in order to find my next step. Namaste!

I had the most amazing time learning from Claire in the yin yoga teacher training. She has a great knowledge of yoga in general and especially in yin yoga. She has a great way to provide her knowledge and to bring the theory into practice. I even learned a lot of things to integrate into my yang hours and personal practice. Out of the many ttc I have already done, I probably enjoyed this one the most. I would def come back to Claire if I want to deepen my yin knowledge and teachings.

I had an amazing week of Yin yoga training from Claire. She is not just only a knowledgeable and experienced teacher, but also a caring and compassionate life mentor. As english isn’t my mother language plus this is my first yoga training, at the beginning I was kind of scared of getting understand on all the lessons. However, her consistent encouragement and passionate truly inspiring me. The knowledge I’ve learnt from this training is more than I expected. Now I feel more confident to practice Yin on my own with awareness of what’s for me. Thanks Claire for sharing all those amazing moments with me. We will def see each other again for my 200 hrs training.

I recently completed a Yin yoga teacher training with Claire at H20 yoga in Gili Air. It was an awesome course with great content. Claire gave us a deep immersion into the feeling of Yin yoga within our own bodies which becomes the foundation we are able to go on and teach from. Claire delivered great content on Taoism, meridians and the theoretical background of Yin yoga. Claire is brilliant at holding space, facilitating, caring for the well being of students and also testing our understanding of the teaching points she is delivering. If you get a chance to do a training with Claire go for it. I hope our paths cross again sometime.

I took part in the 55 hour Yin Yoga training with Claire and it was truly a transformational week. Aside from imparting her wealth of knowledge on the group about yin yoga, the meridians energy systems, and theory; Claire made the week about bringing us closer to ourselves, each other, and our practice. Claire was patient and fun and fostered a caring, nurturing environment that I saw the whole group grow from. I could not recommend this experience and Claire enough.

She offers the perfect balance of sound anatomical knowledge, fluid intelligent sequencing, and an intuitive healing presence.

I stayed at H20 a few weeks ago to do the Yin yoga tt. The training was excellent, Claire is a wonderful teacher with great passion and knowledge. Kate led the morning meditation and Yin practice and was also so supportive and an excellent teacher. They make a great team!
The accommodation is basic but lovingly cared for and the staff do their utmost to make your stay memorable. The food is delicious and pool a nice place to relax. It was great to be so close to the yoga Shala when meditation starts at 6am and I would certainly recommend staying at H2O.
Thank you to all the staff and especially Claire for making my visit and training a memory I shall always cherish.

As a qualified teacher I came here to learn more about Yin yoga as i wish to start teaching this style. The Yin Yoga Teacher Training has left me feeling so inspired and motivated to continue this journey. Everything from the structure and knowledge base, to the yoga center on a idyllic island was perfect. Thank you.

The teacher training covered all topics that I expected from a yin yoga training: meridians, sequencing, a lot of practice, personal reflection and personal attention. We got creative with paint, Claire’s lectures are so very clear and systematic, well-accompanied with to-the-point notes on a flip-over and we got to do some aqua yoga, which is the floatiest experience ever! I truely recommend the training to anyone who wants a deep understanding of what yin yoga is, can mean for the body and can trigger in the mind. Powerful tool, thanks everyone!

H20 Yoga & Meditation Centre, Gili Air, Tripadvisor Reviewed May 16, 2018Great yoga, great space, great deep tissue massage!
Firstly, Claire who is a yoga teacher and some kind of massage guru (or maybe sports therapist). My partner and I wanted to practice some yoga bit I had read on here about Claire being great at helping/fixing back problems. At the time I had serval nots in my shoulder and was in agony, with limited movement in my shoulder. Claire took the evening yoga class and I mentioned to her about my shoulder, she did some manipulation during the class – this helped so much!! The following day I went back for some more work on my shoulder and I feel 100% better. Claire taught me some self management techniques as I am traveling around a bit for a few months!
H20 Yoga & Meditation Centre, Gili Air, Tripadvisor Reviewed May 2018 Yoga therapy
I attended private yoga therapy session with lovely instructor Claire from UK. I did not know what to expect but I definitely did not expect that it will be that good and so effective. Our session started with short consultation about my issues. I have had joints and hip “problems”. Claire checked on my body structure and directly knew where all the problems came from. She explained me my physiology (no doctor has ever told me things she did) and what I am supposed to do in order to release the pain in hips and knees. Then we did practice itself – she was very patient and guided me with deep understanding. During the practice she was also pointing out on connections between body and emotions, how certain emotions are stored in particular muscles. Could not be more real. She created ambiance that helped me to center and I could focus on my healing. The exercise she chose for me was very intensive but relaxing in the same time. Under precise instructions from Claire I felt like my body was letting go of everything that did not serve me anymore, my body was softening and the I was not able to hold tears when all the suppressed emotions were released. After session I felt very light and literally ” high”. Following Claire’s instruction I do not experience pain in my hips and knees anymore. I was sad that we were leaving island and I could not meet Claire anymore. It was highlight of my trip in Indonesia. Thank you Claire! Much love!
H20 yoga and Meditation Centre Tripadvisor review.
I came to H2O Yoga to rehab my body and mind after recovering from a number of physical injuries, specifically shoulders and low back. Claire’s class focusing on alignment was a huge eye opener to my yoga practice and I am leaving this place with a deeper understanding of my body. Thanks to Claire, for the first time in three years I put my hands above my head without my arms going numb. The subtle but amazingly effective adjustments that she taught have been incredible and I am eternally grateful for her! Not only that, but she taught an awesome workshop getting down to the fundamentals of the postures which taught me even more and solidified what I learned from her in class. She also taught about the history of yoga and the yamas/niyamas which helped me identify negative patterns in my life and ultimately kickstarted me on an emotional journey I never anticipated going on before this place! Strongly recommend Claire for deepening your practice and self-love!
