Bikram Yoga

Bikram Yoga is a dynamic style of yoga designed for every body—from absolute beginners to seasoned practitioners with an established yoga practice. This beginner-friendly method offers lifelong benefits and can be continually revisited for deeper progress and healing.

Bikram Yoga follows a fixed sequence of yoga postures and breathing exercises, practiced in a heated room to support flexibility and detoxification. The structure of the sequence allows for measurable progress over time, making it ideal for building a consistent practice.

Through regular practice and proper guidance, Bikram Yoga supports the restoration and maintenance of healthy function across all organs, systems, and joints. Clear and accessible instructions help students adapt the practice to their individual needs, range of motion, and physical condition.

With Claire’s expert instruction, you'll learn how to approach the postures safely and effectively, empowering you to strengthen and heal your body in a sustainable way.

Benefits of Bikram Yoga:

  • Increases strength, flexibility, and balance

  • Supports detoxification and organ function

  • Improves posture, focus, and energy levels

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a deeply meditative and restorative practice that offers a much-needed counterbalance to the fast-paced, yang-dominant lifestyle many of us lead.

This quiet, slow-paced style involves long-held, floor-based poses that gently stress the connective tissues—ligaments, fascia, and joints—helping to improve flexibility, circulation, and energetic flow throughout the body.

Yin Yoga encourages you to be present, to observe physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts without judgment. It’s an opportunity to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and invite deep physical and mental relaxation.

Benefits of Yin Yoga:

  • Enhances joint mobility and flexibility

  • Supports emotional release and mindfulness

  • Improves organ function and energy flow

  • Reduces tension and promotes deep relaxation

This practice complements more active (‘Yang’) styles of yoga and movement, making it a powerful tool for healing, balance, and inner harmony.
