About me

Hi, I’m Claudia.

I run welcoming, down-to-earth yoga classes in Haughley, Woolpit, and Bury St Edmunds, and my entire teaching philosophy comes down to one simple rule: Function and feeling over form. Always.

I know firsthand how intimidating the yoga world can feel. The wellness industry often makes it look like you need to be perfectly zen and incredibly flexible just to unroll a mat. That is exactly why I created Yogadia to be completely different.

In my classes, you will notice a few things right away:

There is no "back of the class." I always set our mats up in a welcoming semi-circle.
We love our props. We don't force our bodies into uncomfortable shapes. Instead, we use blocks, bricks, and straps to bring the floor up to meet you.
Wobbles are highly encouraged. We move to build strength, find softness, and reset our nervous systems, but we never take ourselves too seriously.

My Journey & The Real "Balance"

I have been practicing yoga for over 10 years and I'm a 200-hour Yoga Alliance Professionals (YAP) accredited teacher. I am deeply passionate about the physical and mental benefits of this practice, but I am definitely not your stereotypical yoga guru!

To me, true balance means enjoying a strong, fiery flow, and then happily enjoying a really good local doughnut afterwards. When I'm practicing at home, you'll usually find me trying to hold a balance while my two dogs actively try to steal my yoga blocks.

Whether you are craving a sweaty Rocket flow, a gentle restorative stretch, or just 60 minutes of quiet away from your busy life, I have a mat waiting for you. Come exactly as you are.

Claudia
