Overview

Claire Martin Luxton teaches Functional Yoga, specialising in Restorative Yoga, Yin Yoga, Slow Flow and Mindfulness. Encouraging body awareness, she helps her students to embrace and support their unique physical structure and get the most out of each practice to gently strengthen, challenge and stretch the body safely, whilst at the same time relieving tightness and tension. 

Mindfulness is at the heart of each class to calm and ground the mind, balance and help settle underlying mental and emotional stresses and anxiety.

Through her group classes and one-to-one sessions, Claire provides her students space to safely access the healing benefits of a functional yoga practice. By learning to move with the body and not against it, and learning to give space to mind and emotion, the overall experience provides for more freedom, shifting from resistance to acceptance, and finding a natural flow and balance for body, mind and soul.  

Claire trained with Esther Ekhart who is her core teacher in yoga. She is also greatly influenced by the teachings of Tracey Uber Cook, Paul Grilley, Jose de Groot and Judith Hansen Lassater.

    Yoga with Claire feels like a treat, like going for an indulgent massage. Her approach is gentle and informed and supportive. She cares about her students getting the most out of their practice. I feel very lucky to be able to attend her weekly classes.

    I absolutely feel my whole being shift during and after a session with Claire. I begsn sleeping a full night after class, I became more grounded, connected and relaxed in myself. I would highly recommend sessions with Claire as she speaks to gently and confidently guides each person through individual needs, helping to restore energy and awareness of self care.

    teacher review

    I highly recommend Claire as a teacher and her yoga classes. In 2019 I joined Claire's Restorative Yoga class having never heard of it previously and was hooked! Under Claire's excellent guidance the practice has helped me both physically and mentally. More recently, I have joined her Yin classes and find them hugely beneficial. The classes have helped ease tightness in my body giving me a lighter feeling. The practice has helped me in developing awareness and mindfulness. Claire's approach is very encouraging with gentleness and kindness. She has a deep knowledge of the practice and the body and mind. Claire is extremely generous in sharing this knowledge, her time and is very responsive to any query and always willing to give advice. Throughout the past year, living with lockdowns, fear and uncertainty due to Covid 19, Claire has helped hugely in managing stress and anxiety. I'm so thrilled I decided to try yoga classes with Claire and now it's part of my life.
