Qualifications: London Pilates Academy Certified, LYT Yoga Method Training

Hi, my name is Clare, and I’m a dedicated yoga and Pilates teacher with a deep passion for movement, wellbeing, and self-discovery. I began teaching yoga in 2016 in California, where I fell in love with the practice and its ability to transform both body and mind. Since then, I’ve completed over 1,000 hours of training, always seeking to deepen my knowledge and refine my approach.

A pivotal moment in my teaching journey was completing the LYT Yoga Method training—a physio-led, functional movement system that continues to inspire and inform my classes today. I’m endlessly fascinated by how intelligent movement can restore strength, balance, and function to the body.

My curiosity for movement naturally led me to discover Pilates, and I’ve been teaching it ever since. After experiencing the incredible benefits of reformer Pilates firsthand while rehabbing CrossFit injuries, I knew I wanted to bring this practice to my clients.

Outside the studio, I’m a proud husky mum to two beautiful dogs who keep me active and outdoors. I’m a true movement junkie—I love weightlifting, yoga, Pilates, swimming, surfing, and snowboarding. You’ll often find me on the beach in winter enjoying a cold dip or at my art class, as creating art is another one of my passions.

I’m also currently training to become a psychodynamic counsellor, inspired by the self-enquiry journey that yoga led me on. My aim is to support not only my clients’ physical wellbeing but also their mental and emotional health, helping them connect more deeply with themselves in all aspects of life.
