Why Little Yoga Tree

About Me

I am Claire, the founder of Little Yoga Tree, a Mummy, and a passionate yogi.

I gained my 200hr Teacher Training in New York and fell even deeper in love with the practice throughout this time. Having seen how beneficial yoga can be for Children, I have since specialised in Children’s yoga, gaining a Children Yoga teaching qualification and most recently taken a specialist course in Tweens / Teens, also in NYC.

I am a member of the Yoga Alliance UK, fully insured and have had First Aid training with the Red Cross.

My Story

Having worked in corporate organisations for a very long time, I have taken the BIG life changing step to do something I am passionate about... Yoga and teaching children.  A few things have happened in my life to make me realise we are not on this planet for long enough to spend time doing what we don’t enjoy.

So here are a few facts about me….

  • I really dislike snow… hence our families return from NYC! 
  • My favourite place in the world would be a quiet secluded beach
  • I meditate for 10 minutes every morning and it gets me through the school run without shouting (usually)
  • I wanted to be a Mummy for a very long time and still can’t believe I am.  I often stare at him sleeping in utter amazement
  • We love animals & are on the lookout for the perfect addition to our family

I feel incredibly lucky to be able to share my knowledge, passion and sense of fun by teaching Children’s yoga in Berkshire, Oxfordshire and beyond!

KB Teacher

Claire’s yoga class helped calm even the most energetic of kids.  Such a relaxing experience at the end of a tiring day, the lesson was planned so well to meet the kid’s needs.

-KB, Teacher (aged 9-11 years)

Gregory Pre-school teacher

The children loved the imaginative experiences, such an interesting way to keep the children engaged and teach them some yoga poses.  An interesting twist to capture the right audience. Highly recommend this fun and relaxing activity for young children

-Gregory, Pre-school teacher

Maddie Camp Leader

The children keep asking “when are we going back to yoga?!”  Claire was so patient and cooperative with them, listening to their suggestions and making it more enjoyable.  A great mix of fun activities and relaxing at the end

-Maddie, Camp Leader (aged 7-9 years)

Miss Rose Teaching Assistant

Claire’s has been teaching yoga to the children for a while and I can really see a difference in their behaviour.  She has taught them some useful breathing skills and ways to calm their mind when they get worried. We often talk about these skills in our classroom throughout the week.  

-Miss Rose, Teaching Assistant

KD Camp Leader

The children kept begging to go back! Those who normally struggle to engage and participate were fully in to it. Their involvement in activities after the yoga class increased as well.

-KD, Camp Leader (aged 3-6 year olds)

Highly Recommended

Claire led two fantastic sessions for our preschoolers aged 2-4.  All the children were engaged throughout and thoroughly enjoyed learning yoga in such a fun and age appropriate way. We cant wait to have Claire back. Highly recommend.

- Jess, Pre-school teacher
