Welcome to Yogi Claire Hatha Yoga…a gentle, non-intimidating approach to yoga.

Classes are mixed ability and beginners are especially welcome.

I’m Claire Pickin, I teach affordable Hatha Yoga and Chair Yoga in Sale and online.  I’ve been teaching yoga since 2007 and practicing yoga with my yoga teaching Mum since I was a child.

If  you want to improve your mobility, build strength or need tools to manage stress or anxiety by learning to regulate your nervous system, my classes could help you. Sessions encompass most aspects of yogic practice, not just postures.  Yogic philosophy is included in the sessions, which makes your experience more complete.  I teach sensitively with virtually no hands on assists, simply offering advice on ways to listen to your body to practice intuitively.

I have had extensive training in the neuroscience of yoga and of how slow and mindful movements and subtle breathwork can bring healing and positivity into your life.

I have completed courses in CBT, NLP, Hypnotherapy, Kinesiology and Counselling. Studying these modalities has greatly improved my communication and teaching skills. (See the ‘Info and links’ Tab for my qualifications and ongoing training information.)

My teaching style allows students to feel and experience the postures safely, without pressure to go deeper if that is not appropriate.  Safety is always the priority.

I work one day per week at The Nerve Injury Clinic – Brooklands, offering rehabilitation yoga sessions to patients there.

See information below to check how to book/pay for your class place.

Useful Information to know prior to attending a class:

• Relaxation at the end is done with lights off, it is dark in the room during evening classes in the darker months.  If this is an issue, then please let me know and I can ensure you are located in the part of the room where there is more light.  Feeling safe is of utmost importance.
• You will be asked about any injuries or health information.
• Bring your own mat and wear something comfortable.

How to book your place...

Class places need to be booked in advance, your place needs to be pre-paid a week in advance where possible (with exception of chair yoga)  I try my utmost to allocate places fairly, with class members who have credit with me in the form of class pass bundles, getting first options on places.

Message/text to check availability, before making payment. Cancellations happen so you can text me on the day of the class to see if there is a last minute place – in these cases, cash can be paid in class.

**Cancellation Policy (for in-person classes): If you cancel your pre-paid place more than 48 hours before the class, I can carry the payment forward to your next class.  If cancellation is less than 48 hours before the class and I can’t fill the place – I cannot carry the payment forward. This is to ensure my costs are covered and to discourage people from booking places and failing to attend.

Price Information.

‘IN PERSON’ CLASSES & ZOOM:  £8 per session except the chair yoga class which is £6 per session (other payment options available for the chair yoga class).

There are several payment options for your convenience. Class passes are popular – you can pay for as many classes as you wish and use the class pass up any time as long as it is within 12 months of purchase. This can be done by PayPal (see link below) or bank transfer – message me for details.

An additional 10 videos each month are uploaded to provide you with regular additional content.

90+ videos are already on my Patreon and available to view for a subscription fee of £7 per month, this affordable price reflects the fact that some of these videos are now a few years old. All the payment is done on the Patreon platform and is secure.
