I was lucky to discover yoga under Claire's kind and inspiring guidance. Her ability to weave a deep connection between body and mind is remarkable.
Each yoga session goes far beyond a simple physical practice. She guides us with grace and wisdom through an inner journey, helping us to explore our own bodies, emotions and minds. She encourages us to cultivate mindfulness and deep connection with ourselves.

Her ability to create an environment of serenity, trust and compassion, her soothing voice and inspiring words enable us to immerse ourselves deeply in our practice, to let go and find harmony.
Claire amazes me with her ability to adapt to all levels of practitioner. She encourages each of us to push our limits while respecting our own needs and abilities.

I'm deeply grateful to have crossed her path. Thank you !

I had the immense opportunity to follow yoga classes with Claire, who’s a one of kind teacher.
Claire is kind, positive and calm and she helped me evolve at my rythm in my yoga journey! You can really feel that she teaches from the heart. I’ve had the chance to experience different type of breathing exercices and flows in her classes : all of them were energizing, uplifting and joyful.

If you’re seeking an inspiring, grounding and creative experience, you should definitely take one of Claire’s class !!

I decided to go on this retreat because I was struggling with self-love, and it was affecting my self-confidence and different aspects of my life, including my energy, motivation, self-awareness, feelings, and how I related to others. 
I chose this retreat because it was focused on self-love, reconnecting with oneself, self-care, and included yoga in a natural and beautiful setting, and it was exclusively for women.  I loved the place, the food, the yoga, and all the workshops and activities. But what I liked the most about it was being surrounded by women from different backgrounds and ages. It made the experience unique as we easily connected and created a strong bond.
Attending this retreat brought about significant positive changes in my life. I felt more free, more in peace with my inner self, more grounded, and more connected to myself and others. I also developed a stronger sense of self-love that was simply beautiful to experience.
I want to emphasize that Angela, Anabelle, and Claire, the organizers of the retreat, are incredible women who treated me with respect, listened to me, and showed a lot of love throughout the retreat.
Their expertise and passion for yoga, meditation, energy work, and astrology were evident in the thoughtful planning and execution of the retreat, making it a truly transformative and enriching experience.

I took a 200h Yoga Training in Ecuador (one of the best decisions I made in my life), and I was fortunate to have Claire and Anabelle as teachers. I think that besides learning about yoga, it is very important the human quality with which a discipline that crosses us in many ways is transmitted. It is not only physical, but mental, emotional and spiritual.

In this sense Claire has been a balm for my heart, I’m grateful for her tenderness to teach and at the same time her firmness to support processes. During her classes you float in harmony and at the same time you connect with the discipline of effort, but from the loving support towards oneself that she teaches you to embody.
"Strong back, soft skin and indomitable heart".

She also knows so much, you don’t have enough time to learn all that she has to give. She is always ready to listen and create a safe space for everyone everyone.

And as if that wasn't enough, at the same time I met Anabelle, a wonderful person who radiates light and joy. Her classes were healing, a space to connect with oneself in an authentic way, to allow ourselves to be. Her gaze is deep and she is able to see with the heart, I believe that makes her sensitive to the needs of the group. She has been able to read us very well and give us the kind of class we needed after so much work and internal mobilization during the YTT. In short, both of them together, offering their wisdom to a group, I can only wish to be able to participate.
Both are magical.

What a great first yoga experience! I'm a novice and this was my very first time. Claire is pedagogical and patient. Her instructions are adapted for beginners who don't necessarily know all the yoga wording. Great experience. I highly recommend :).

Thanks again Claire !

— Eudes, Paris, France

You can tell that Claire, Anabelle, and Angie truly live what they are teaching. It’s not just a physical practice with them, but a wholesome experience that runs through every vein and touches the heart.

It’s truly an unique experience, I cannot recommend it too much!!

Keep shining and sharing your light girl !

I had several yoga classes with Claire and they were AMAZING ! She takes the time to explain the how and the why, which gives you keys to understand better your body and its needs. We began with a 15 minutes breathing session, a great time for relaxation and letting go. Claire guides you through dynamic classes where you can feel the work out and all the benefits of yoga. Thank you Claire, can’t wait for our next session together !

I felt so stressed and overworked from life. I needed to find myself and get grounded. This retreat offered a women’s only opportunity to connect with beautiful souls from all walks of life. This retreat offered a chance to connect with nature, women, and the very elements that bring us all together. After spending my time at this yoga retreat I achieved a sense of calm. I felt like I could breathe again. I noticed how much of life goes by without us taking time to really be. This retreat, these teachers, brought me to the present moment. I was ready to take on the world again.
The teachers at this retreat: Angela, Anabelle, and Claire, single-handedly changed my life. I truly had no expectation of what my first yoga retreat would be like, and they far exceeded it. The genuine desire and love these girls have to get to know everyone on the retreat really shows. I felt SEEN after just a few hours of meeting them. Not only are they wonderful, kind, welcoming souls- they are talented yogis!! I learned so much more about the art of yoga through their dedication to practice. I will surely be back for another retreat put on by Mycelium Retreat ! Thank you girls for changing my life!

Just want to say a few reasons why I enjoyed Claire’s yoga class in Mendocino on Sept. 24-28 at the Mycelium Effect Retreat. 

The theme was Fire and we were focusing on the third chakra, the solar plexus. We began with gentle movements to wake up our muscles before launching into the bow pose. Her cues were spot-on and helpful. Her timing was slow enough to transition into the warrior's pose then onto the floor comfortably. I enjoyed her sweet accent and voice. But the best part was practicing Bhastrika and watching her diaphragm move. The sounds helped me get the feeling of bellows as I imitated her breathing. She kept her gaze stable so we avoided hyperventilation. We did fire breathing in the afternoon after writing what we needed to transform in our life and then burning them. 

Claire seems to embody what yoga is all about—a clear, calm presence uniting body and spirit so that we may realize our oneness within us and with everything(body). I really enjoyed her dedication, and concern for us and the sisters Carpenter. What a team they made!

Participating in a yoga retreat was a heart's desire and even though I didn't exactly know what to expect, it was a very beautiful and intense experience.

During the yoga retreat, I learned to detach for a while from the fast-moving world outside and reconnected with myself. It gave me the calmness longtime needed and I enjoyed especially the restorative yin yoga sessions.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who's looking for a timeout and loves yoga.

— Sabrina, Switzerland

A Reiki Session simply WOW!!!!

I can easily remember as if my soul was detached from my body, and at the same time sensations and emotions that are difficult to describe, but that finally left me with great relief, something like having a weight lifted off my shoulders.

Thank you for helping me to get out of those dark and agitated days in which my being was.

Claire is truly a channel of energy that transports you to another world.

My soul is grateful to have had this encounter with such a wonderful being, I know you will be light and guide for so many people in need.

Thank you for so much. 💖

Claire is one big heart of a human. It's quite difficult to describe such a powerful soul in a few lines, but getting to the point, this is what she is. A powerful, big-hearted woman, always holding space for just about anything. Nothing seems too big or too small, too weird, too ridiculous, or too random for her. She takes every matter seriously and always gives her valuable support from a place of honesty and love.

I am honored to have introduced her to the magic of Reiki. It was very quick and natural to witness the power of her hands and being a channel of high vibrational healing energy. We met while traveling, both doing our first yoga teacher training. Since then, we talk and share almost daily, deeply admiring the powers of ancient knowledge and life’s little plays.

I cannot recommend working with Claire too much, she is such an important part of my personal and spiritual path.

Claire’s yin yoga class re-inspired my practice at a time when I felt disconnected and questioning why I practice yoga. Her adjustments reminded me that my body is made to experience pleasure and relaxation. Her depth of knowledge about the physical and energetic bodies, and her loving yet firm presence, allows me to deeply drop into the present moment, not wanting for anything.

— Anabelle, Quito, Ecuador

Yin yoga with Claire leaves me feeling reborn through multiple layers of my energy body. I started the practice from a state of monkey mind, so many scrambling thoughts, mental blocks, and pressure I was unnecessarily putting onto myself. After the class, I was left with a sense of renewal and inner peace. Her class cultivated a state of clarity within me to realize what is truly important and where I can direct my energy from a state of love.The class made me remember why I initially fell in love with the practice of yoga. She effortlessly guides you into postures that deeply stretch your body, deeply increasing flexibility, and also leave you with a sense of mental clarification. My mind felt erased from the many scribbles, conditions, and toxins from life, clean and reset. Claire has so much knowledge, her many hours of experience, training, and background as a nutritionist compliment her teaching style. She listens and makes your requests the priority, and offers extremely helpful and soothing adjustments. I highly recommend anyone to take Claire’s class, it is impossible you will regret it.
