My name is Claire Hall, eternal yoga student and teacher. The Hatha Yoga I teach is truthful, honest and respects the human body in all its greatness. Yoga helps me to negotiate life, which allows me to continue to clean my bathroom floor on my hands and knees and get up without making an oomph sound! It allows me to tackle stressful situations in a less involved way, it just takes the edge of life a bit and it allows me to see the truth of who I actually am.

My Yoga journey started about eleven years ago with my teacher Bridget Rowan here at Om Yoga Works. I qualified with a Level Four Diploma in Teaching Yoga with The British Wheel of Yoga in 2020. Training doesn’t just end once you become a teacher and I continue to learn and grow through the guidance of respected teachers such as Peter Blackaby, Monica Voss, Lesley Dike, Judy Hirsh-Sampath, Philip Xerri, the work of Jivana Heyman and Susanna Barkataki and the teachers from the Mandala Yoga Ashram in Wales. An area of interest for me is the philosophy and history of Yoga and I have completed studies in Sanskrit and this is something I wish to continue into the future. I am the West Yorkshire Representative for The British Wheel in Yorkshire organising events for British Wheel members in the Yorkshire Area. I am also a Foundation Course Tutor for The British Wheel, offering a 10 month course going deeper into Yoga, details can be found here…

I have a particular interest in maintaining the natural functioning of the body, keeping our bodies healthy and strong so we can physically move through life in the best way possible. I also have a deep interest in the philosophy of Yoga and how the ideas and concepts can work for us as we navigate the choppy waters of life.

I also enjoy writing about Yoga ideas and philosophies and some of my writing can be found here…
