ABOUT CLAIRE
Claire Berghorst has been teaching yoga on a full time basis since 2008, and has completed several teacher trainings both locally and internationally. Always a student first, she continues to practise and study with her teachers on a regular basis, allowing her experiences and learnings on the mat to feedback into her teachings; openly sharing her own stumblings and learnings along the way. She has completed the Ashtanga 3rd & 4th series, a challenging practice that balances strength and grace in equal measure,
Claire’s passion for yoga is readily experienced in her classes, where she welcomes students of all abilities. She believes that the practice should be supportive and adaptable to the individual, creating a sustainable practice. She passionately believes in empowering students to develop a nurturing regular practice. Her teaching style is open and supportive of the individual.
For Claire, yoga is an internal exploration of self discovery that should be kind and honest, yet fun. She enjoys finding that perfect balance between strength, flexibility and a steady mind. This balance translates into her own life, where her passion for family, health, wellness and abundance merge.
