Claire is a yoga instructor, poet, editor, and high school English teacher based in the beautiful Dandenong Ranges, Melbourne.
For Claire, yoga is a powerful, peaceful way to reconnect body and spirit, calm the mind, and reclaim mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing. All too often, stress and anxiety rule our busy modern lives, compromising our ability to be fully present and live with pleasure. Yoga, available to all ages and levels of physical fitness, brings us back into our bodies and creates the opportunity for self-care, or even just a peaceful hour without demands, to-do lists, or glowing screens. Claire's yoga classes are gentle, thoughtful, and accessible to everyone.
Yoga and poetry both ask for careful attention and contemplation of how we are in the world. Both direct us inward to achieve greater self-awareness, authenticity, and empathy. Claire's poetry can be found on Instagram (@clairekleynjans).
