Welcome
My name is Claudia and I am a yoga teacher and soft tissue massage therapist.
I was born and raised in East London and began my movement journey training as a professional dancer and performance artist. After graduating, I began to travel widely, study other movement practices, and complete a yoga teacher training. Following my return to London, I qualified as a Soft Tissue Massage Therapist and began working as a teacher and therapist in my local community, studios and corporate settings, as well as running retreats throughout the UK. I am a qualified postnatal yoga instructor and have experience running sensory baby classes with Adventure Babies. Additionally, I have an MA in Contemporary Dance from London Contemporary Dance School. My thesis focused on injuries and mental health. Now residing in Nottingham, I am delighted to be offering a variety of sessions and events for the whole family.
YOGA CLASSES
ADULTS
Accessible yoga from the heart that allows even beginners to delve into the deepest layers of their physical body, mind, heart, and spirit. My style is reflective of my diverse experiences and bodywork training, and I draw inspiration from various practices. I balance thorough anatomical cues with accessible philosophy for life, all with a human and down-to-earth touch. I also offer plenty of hands-on assists and massage for students who are seeking this guidance.
CHILDREN
Working at a variety of schools, I bring playful energy, stories and the natural world into my classes. In these sessions, kids are free to be in the moment by expressing themselves physically and creatively. I offer plenty of time for sharing, and teach age-appropriate skills in mindfulness, breath work and emotional regulation.
MASSAGE
From the moment we begin, I foster an environment of safety and serenity. I take a thorough case history, encourage feedback, and pride myself on a strong professionalism. This means that you can completely drop into your experience, rather than being stuck in your head. With my friendly nature, carefully curated playlists, and divine oils, I ensure the atmosphere is right too.
My style of working is a combination of deep tissue massage strokes with sports massage techniques, finishing with posture and exercise advice according to your body and needs.
After being on the massage table with me, you will feel a sense of freedom and alignment in your body. I work with people from all walks of life, but specialise in injury, illness and postural rehabilitation.
A FINAL WORD
Whatever I do, I aim to give you the tools to look after yourself once you have left the yoga mat or massage table so that you can feel confident and empowered in your own movement and healing journey.
