WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SESSION
The yoga Marie-Claire teaches is principally based in Hatha-Yoga and focuses on careful body alignment and breath awareness in a flowing manner. During a class she will refer to the ancient traditions and practices of yoga as well as having emphasis on the anatomy and physiology of a pose or movement. The constant theme is to never force anything and always listen to the body. The aim of MC's classes is to allow students to develop self-awareness, rejuvenate the body and deepen their knowledge of this ancient practice, in a friendly, safe and comfortable environment.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing there is a field. I'll meet you there"
