CLARE
NICHOLLS

Clare's interest in yoga was ignited as a child when she was introduced to the Mahabharata; she fell in love with the stories and the philosophies woven throughout. Since 2001 Clare has practiced asana and views the physical process as a way of undoing the habits we hold in our bodies and releasing the past to create space for the future.
Clare began teaching in 2005 with a British Wheel of Yoga Diploma, in 2011 she qualified to teach Jivamukti Yoga, becoming advanced certified in 2017.
In 2014 and 2015 Clare travelled around India, experiencing many sites of pilgrimage and integrating an understanding of the philosophies into her life, practice and teaching.
In 2016-2017 she spent 10 months in Mysore chanting the yoga sutras under guidance of the wonderful Dr M.A Jayashree and appreciating the detail of their philosophical themes through studying with Professor Narasimhan. She continues to study with them and is currently undertaking a translation of the Devi Mahatmaya. She has the blessing of her teachers Dr Jayashree and
 
Professor Narasimhan to share her love of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the philosophy they contain.
From 2018 Clare was blessed to have the opportunity to move to Bern where until 2021 she taught at Jivamukti Yoga Bern. When that space closed Clare decided to stay in Switzerland and is currently curating a community-run Yoga Shala called Hrdayam (the heart).
