I loved this course! The content was so interesting and the training was well planned with a mix of theory and asana labs. I loved having the yoga classes to start and end the day with. You can see that Claire is very knowledgable and passionate on these topics so it was a great learning experience

This course and place are truly outstanding. I 100% recommend this experience. If you’re genuinely interested in TCM and Yin Yoga, I would say Claire is one of the most experienced teachers in this field. The depth and dedication she brings to both TCM and Yoga — and her ability to weave them together — allows her to teach the practice and benefits of Yin Yoga with great care and attention to detail. It’s truly impactful. Claire offers a strong theoretical framework while holding a space of trust and safety for the emotions that naturally arise throughout the process. It becomes an art of observing and being part of the experience. Just to add, the location where the course is held is beautiful. The island of Nusa Lembongan is both comfortable and a true reflection of the authenticity and calmness of Balinese life. The Yoga Garden is absolutely stunning — built in bamboo, immersed in nature — the perfect space, with an incredible staff that supports deep relaxation and nervous system regulation. A big shoutout to the teachers and staff who supported us through this journey, especially Thia Moana and the wonderful Pin!

I really enjoyed Akira Yoga Yin and TCM 11 day course with Claire. She is a wonderful teacher who is so knowledgeable, I learned so much throughout the course I would have gave 5 stars however the accommodation listed on her website wasn’t up to par. This is no fault of Akira yoga but did put a bit of dampener on my Bali experience. Claire was very supportive and tried her best to help support my situation anyway she could. Claire’s supporting teacher Thia was excellent I looked forward to her early morning class daily and always felt refreshed afterwards. My favourite part of the training was Claire’s evening 90 minute yin class. I would literally melt into bed directly afterwards. I would recommend this course to anyone who would like to study yin yoga and traditional Chinese medicine. God willing I will be able to return in the future to further my training. The Yoga Shala is stunning and a perfect environment for this course. Thank you to all the team at Akira Yoga, a truly amazing place that will always have a special place in my heart ❤️ Namaste 🙏

Such a great experience in a beautiful space. This course has activated power inside me and has provided me with the tools to invite healing to myself and to others. Thank you!
