CLAIRE SCHAFER, YOGA INSTRUCTOR
Claire has been a student of yoga for more than 25 years and completed her formal yoga teacher training in February 2007, under the tutelage of Kale Leaf at the Fremantle Yoga Centre. For Claire, yoga is a pathway to greater presence, grounding and awareness in everyday life. Yoga supports her in balancing her many roles, including being a mum and studying Teaching at University. Claire practices in the Hatha and Iyengar yoga traditions, with an emphasis on mindfulness. She also has training and a special interest in pre-natal yoga, and yin and restorative yoga. Her classes are infused with a sense of mindfulness, providing students with time to explore and self-reflect. Students are encouraged to be present; to cultivate an awareness of the breath and the body; and to work within their limits, without pushing or pain.
Claire has been teaching at the Centre for Movement Studies & Yoga Moves since 2008. Her classes invite students to develop a deeper understanding of their own bodies, noticing sensations, limits, and strengths, and to take an active role in shaping their personal yoga practice. Through thoughtful, creative sequencing, time spent holding poses, and the supportive use of props such as blocks, straps, blankets, and bolsters, students are encouraged to explore what feels right for them. This approach makes the practice accessible and beneficial for all students. Each class concludes with a 15-minute guided relaxation or meditation, offering space to rest, integrate, and reconnect.
Thursday morning classes (Beyond Beginners) are not suitable for absolute beginners.
