Claire Russell Burns

Hi, I’m Claire, a yoga teacher based in Brighton, UK, and I’ve been teaching since 2007.

I became a certified Restore Your Core^® (RYC^®) teacher in 2017, which was a real catalyst in leading me towards specialising in core recovery. I now work mainly with women, supporting them from postnatal recovery to post-menopause.

My own journey began with recovery after childbirth which was soon followed by the transition into menopause. Both experiences left me feeling that I needed more support, but I didn't always know where to find it. So, I searched, I studied, I learnt and, most importantly, I put what I discovered into practice. It made a real difference.

These experiences have shaped my passion for creating a supportive space where women feel informed, encouraged and empowered to care for themselves. I believe that building a circle of support around ourselves as we move through life and age is so important. If I can be part of that circle, offering a little guidance, support and understanding along the way, then that is more than enough to fill my cup — and hopefully help me pass it on.

My teaching style is clear guided instruction blended with creative sequencing that offers space for self-enquiry and exploration. I teach in person group and 1-2-1 classes in Brighton, UK and also support clients 1-2-1 online and in person.
