Claire, the organiser and founder of Greenshoots Yoga, extends a warm invitation to the local sports community. As an experienced teacher with over 20 years in the classroom, Claire has created a yoga studio in Heaton Moor, Stockport, specifically for children and teenagers aged 5-18. The studio offers yoga and mindfulness classes aimed at promoting physical and mental well-being.
At Greenshoots Yoga, Claire focuses on a holistic approach to health. Regular yoga practice not only strengthens the body but also enhances mental resilience, self-confidence, and inner peace. Claire firmly believes that starting yoga at a young age can equip children with valuable tools to face challenges confidently.
Classes are held in Heaton Moor, where a supportive atmosphere prevails, centred on community, respect, and joy. Each session is meticulously designed to deliver messages of courage, compassion, and hope, alongside yoga and mindful breathwork exercises. Children who attend are encouraged to embrace mindfulness and achieve a sense of calm and balance.
Testimonials highlight the positive impact of the classes. Parents have praised the sessions for being a perfect way for children to unwind and for Claire's patience and engaging teaching style. Many have noted improvements in their children's mindfulness practices and overall well-being.
Claire established Greenshoots Yoga in 2017 in response to rising anxiety and stress levels among young people. Drawing from her own extensive yoga practice, she recognised its benefits for children's mental and physical health. Community is a core value, with classes held in her hometown of Heaton Moor. Claire also offers her services in the broader South Manchester and Cheshire areas upon request.
She is fully qualified to teach children up to 18 in yoga and breathwork meditation, affiliated with the Independent Yoga Network, and holds a Level 3 Paediatric First Aid certification. Claire also has an up-to-date Enhanced DBS check, ensuring safety and security for all participants.
