| Me and Claire Missingham |
I have always loved Yoga and I first got to know Claire
Missingham when her DVDs were shown on TV. Needless to say I became a fan of her
Yoga classes. She is a very talented Yoga
teacher based in London who has her own Yoga Teacher Training for those that
want to become a Yoga teacher. Two years
later, to my surprise, while I was browsing the internet I found out she was
coming to Dublin for a weekend in June to teach Yoga workshops. I couldn’t resist
and booked myself a place.
It was all organized by My Yoga Body Studio, a charming sea-view Yoga studio located in a beautiful part of Dun Laoghaire. Both workshops ran for two hours and a half and I couldn’t believe how time flew by! It was such a fun weekend and Claire couldn’t be a better presenter. She is not only a great inspiring teacher who was so nice, kind and open to talk to everybody present, but she also has a great sense of humour making yoga even more joyful.
The first one, called “Sweet and Steady Vinyasa Flow”, involved Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation) sequences, standing and balance asanas used in a fun and precise flow as in a choreography, counterposes, handstands as well as a relaxation part at the end. The second workshop, called “Get Down: Opening Hamstrings and Hips to Balance the Lower Three Chakras”, concentrated on the lower body and also core strength working on the lower three chakras with deep hip openers and reclined asanas among many other yoga positions.
I went to both workshops and I still can’t decide which one I preferred. This was an amazing and fun weekend that made me realise how much I miss having a regular Yoga practice. Many thanks to Claire Missingham for coming to Dublin to deliver such beautiful workshops and to My Yoga Body Studio team for making it happen. I hope there will be many more events like this one in Ireland. If you have the opportunity, don’t miss the chance to go to Claire Missingham’s workshops. I guarantee you will love them.
