The style of yoga I teach is called Flow Yoga or Vinyasa Yoga. Flow yoga is based on Hatha yoga but it is more fast paced and we flow with the breath from one pose (asana) to the next. This flowing movement adds an extra cardiovascular benefit that you don’t often get in traditional Hatha Yoga. Flowing with the breath also makes it easier to bring in a more meditative quality to the practice, giving you more energy, focus and clarity. This style of yoga allows for a lot of variation but almost always includes sun salutations at the beginning of the class and a relaxation (yoga nidra) at the end. Claire Corcoran bio: I began attending yoga classes nearly 12 years ago. I was looking for something that would help ease the back pain and stiffness I had being experiencing over the previous couple of years. I had tried all sorts of exercise classes and none of them worked but I experienced great relief from my very first yoga class and with consistent practice I managed to eliminate my back pain, improve my posture and my breathing After about a year of attending regular classes I began to notice other effects too. I was generally in better health, I dropped down a size in my clothes and more importantly I was finding it easier to relax and was dealing better emotionally with life's up and downs. I decided I wanted to learn more about the meditative aspects of yoga and the philosophy and anatomy behind the practice. I also wanted to develop my own practice at home and so in 2005 I embarked on a two year teacher training diploma with the YTTC (Yoga training and therapy centre). I graduated in 2007 and I am fully certified with Yoga Alliance, the European regulatory body for yoga. I spent a couple of years teaching at various centres around Dublin city before finally setting up as a full time yoga teacher. I was lucky to find I had a strong passion for teaching as well as practicing and I love passing on the wonderful effects of yoga to those who attend my class. This year I am embarking on further training in perinatal yoga with The Elbowroom and I hope to start teaching pre-natal and post-natal yoga classes as soon as I finish that training.
