Claire Pickin

Claire joined The Nerve Injury Clinic in 2022 and has been a Hatha Yoga teacher since 2007, greatly influenced by her mother who is also a yoga teacher with 40 years teaching experience. 

She is qualified as an Advanced Yoga Teacher with The British School of Yoga and has completed many courses to deepen her understanding of the practice. She is also a member of the Independent Yoga Network.

Her method is very much person-centred and works to bring the whole system into balance through gentle breathwork and slow mindful movements. She has completed many courses focusing on how the postures of yoga influence the nervous system and how we can use the practice for chronic pain, stress and anxiety management and learn to move in a healing and effective way. 

Over the past 15 years Claire has taught yoga to toddlers, school children, seniors, and everyone in between. Her style adapts and adjusts movements and postures for any level. She has been teaching a chair yoga class for 10 years, so is experienced in providing alternative movements and postures to suit most abilities. 

At The Nerve Injury Clinic, Claire sees patients for one to one therapeutic yoga sessions, complimenting their neurological physiotherapy. 

Outside of yoga, Claire enjoys running, walking her dog and completing jigsaws with her family- the harder the better!
