8PetalsYoga Shala welcomes all who are curious about Yoga and meditation.

Classes are based on the approach of deepening our knowledge of Yoga through self-practice, with the humble guidance of an experienced teacher. 

The teachings are based on the principle that Yoga should meet you where you are, and serve as a tool to support you in your daily life. 

About Claire

 

I have been exploring yoga, nutrition and holistic lifestyle for about 20 years, and continues to do so.

 

My time and energy has mainly been directed towards studying and practicing Yoga over the last 20 years. 
However my curiosity to understanding myself and my environment has allowed me to also study Industrial Design Engineering (MSc), Ayurveda, Nutrition and I am currently studying Herbalism. 

 

I have always been deeply curious about Yoga and spirituality and I am a dedicated student of Raja Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga.

I have had the honour to assist multiple teachers in their Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga Mysore programs and I have completed a 3 year Hatha Yoga education. Beyond the physical practice I am very passionate about exploring all the paths of Yoga including devotional, energetic and meditational practices. I have been teaching yoga for more than 15 years. 

 

I am very blessed with the teachers that I have met along the way and  I have had the opportunity to study with some of them over longer periods of time. I consider myself mainly as a student of Yoga and continue to practice under the guidance of my teachers on a regular basis.

My focus and priority lies in continuously exploring the depths of my Self and deepen my practice to be able to help and guide others from a place of personal experience and knowledge.

 

 

Through the years I have come to realize that food is one of our direct and most intimate connections with nature. This lead me to study Ayurveda and different ‘western’ nutrition & food cultures. I have taught vegan and vegetarian cooking classes & workshops for many years and I can spend hours in the kitchen. I am currently deepening my knowledge of plants and herbs. 

 

I love meeting new people and students and will try to help, guide or just accompany you in any way I can.
