Yoga 7

I have been attending Claire's Yoga 7 Sessions now for more than four years. I believe that she offers a more integrated & methodical approach to the subject than most other practitioners in the way in which she structures each session. She pracitises three disinct techniques, each of which targets a different area of the body, viz - Breathing, Active Postures & Controlled Relaxation. I have found that "Breathing" helps to calm the mind & reduce any anxieties brought about by living in today's world. I would honestly say that this technique was instrumental in helping maintain my Mental Health during the recent pandemic - when classes were organised remotely. "Active Postures" is probably the technique that comes to mind when people consider Yoga & it is a major activity which attemps to maintain suppleness wthin the body. Claire does have a full grasp of all of the postures involved & she is able to demonstrate them more than adequately, whilst making sure that students are performing them correctly & not struggling outside their capabilities.Due to her knowledge of her subject she is able to vary sessions to seamlessly introduce different postures to maintain the freshness & motivation of students. "Controlled Relaxation" is the final segment & basically involves "closing down" areas of the body using the power of "Auto Suggestion" to "chill out". This allows the results of the session to flow into the physical form. I firmly believe in the practise of Yoga & have great respect for Claire & her strong beliefs, which also extend into Holistic Medical Practices - which I have also satsfactorily sampled & am no longer sceptical about. As a long time student,I can thoroughly recommend Yoga 7, which has consistently been ranked highly for Yoga practises in Worcester since 2014 & continues to attract new members.

I have recently returned to Claires yoga class after the pandemic and am thoroughly enjoying it. Claire guides us through breathing exercises, active movement and relaxation at exactly the right pace for me. By the end of the class I am refreshed, relaxed and ready for another busy week. I also run and the two contrasting types of exercise compliment each other really well. I noticed an improvement in my running and flexibility by the third week of doing yoga. Thank you Claire.

Claire is a great instructor, she offers clarity and understanding of how to carry out poses, stretch & breathe effectively to people from differing levels of ability. Particularly, our University Rugby team enjoyed a stretch & relax session that focused on unwinding and uniting the mind and body through breath work. Would highly recommend!!

I have been attending Claire's classes for several months now and enjoy every aspect of them. I can feel real improvements in my strength, stamina and balance thanks to regular practice of the asanas I have learnt here. The breathing techniques at the beginning, and the guided relaxation at the end of each yoga session makes for a fully rounded experience that nurtures both body and soul. Claire is a very thorough teacher and always takes the time to remind you of the correct alignment details for each pose. Variations from beginner to advanced are offered up where appropriate so that everyone can join in no matter what level they are at
