Claire Ruffley

Lifelong yoga student, yoga teacher and Yoga Trapeze® instructor. I look forward to seeing you on the mat or in the Yoga Trapeze®, where I hope you find yoga as beneficial as I have. It’s always yoga o’clock somewhere!

Based in Cambridgeshire, UK, I began practicing yoga in 2004 to learn breathing and relaxation techniques. It soon became essential for my physical and mental well-being and I was inspired to develop my own daily practice. Completing my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) in 2020 gave me something positive to focus on during uncertain times and I have since completed my 300hr YTT, additional certifications in chair, restorative & yin yoga, plus Yoga Trapeze®. As a lifelong asthmatic, I have a specific interest in breathing techniques and mindfulness, using the breath to focus awareness on the present moment. I look forward to seeing you on the mat, or in the Yoga Trapeze®, where I hope you find yoga as beneficial as I have.
