Claire holds regular classes on Wednesdays at the Deeper Balance Studio, South Horrington, Wells. Her sessions consist of Qigong’s meditative movements, positive intentions and calming breath work. Each class finishes with a guided meditation and provides quality ‘you’ time to nourish the body, mind and spirit.
Claire also teaches Qigong to a local Dementia Group and to staff at a local school, and she is a certified Mental Health Health First Aider. She is passionate about supporting people’s mental health and overall wellbeing, and her friendly, relaxing classes are accessible to all.
“Having experienced Qigong’s positive health benefits for myself, I had a strong desire to become a teacher so that I could share this meaningful experience with others. I have been practising and studying Qigong since 2014 to develop my knowledge and to apply its inspirational teachings in my everyday life. I would love to hear from anyone who would be interested in finding out more about how Qigong could make a difference in their life ” Claire

Testimonials
“A real oasis of calm in a busy weekly routine. This friendly class is very well led and encouragement to achieve only what you feel comfortable doing creates a genuinely enjoyable non-pressured environment. I’ve noticed definite improvements in flexibility and concentration but also find the classes both fun and incredibly relaxing.“
