Claire Ferry Yoga

Yoga for....all! Often perceived as a 'female' trend, yoga is for all. There is a good proportion of men attending my evening classes, although the morning classes are currently predominantly female. I don't collect data on people's gender identity or sexual orientation. Yoga is for all people as far as I'm concerned, everyone welcome.

Nervous about whether yoga is for you? Please do feel free to contact me [email protected] 😊

All classes held at Maitri Studio Belfast

Can't get to the floor? No problem. I have a chair-based yoga class on Tuesdays 11.30am (ground floor room) and I also adapt the Thursday 10am class the same way (first floor with stairs, no lift).

No need to let your concerns about whether you are flexible or not stop you practice yoga. There are all sorts of folks attending this class - dodgy knees, backs, fibromyalgia, neurological conditions, arthritis and more - and everyone can do something.

Curious? Email me [email protected] or call 07743 841415 if you would like to ask more. I'm happy to help.

I'm a runner too! Or at least getting there as I train for the London marathon in April 2027. Yoga is brilliant for single leg balance, helping ankle, knee and hip flexibility and strength, and let's not forget the breathing either.

Check out my schedule https://maitristudio.net/team/claire-ferry or message me if you want further information.

Yoga can help you build strength by weight bearing and isometric positions (where you hold the joints / muscles in static forms). Learn step-by-step with what your body is ready for, and perhaps surprise yourself!

Class options through the week mornings & evenings. Commit to a block of classes, or fit drop-in as and when you can. Some yoga is better than no yoga 😊

Yoga for....holiday people! Still on school hols? Can't commit to every week, or find it hard to stick to a routine class? Never mind. Drop-in always available. No need to go to the same class each week. Do one that suits. Some yoga is better than no yoga 😊

Well, it's official now. I've a charity place to run the London marathon in 2027 for ! So as well as taking a break from yoga teaching this next fortnight I'll be starting to plan more training (including LOTS of yoga) and then my fundraising.

You can expect to hear about how yoga is helping my running from now on!! Off to go and re-read the Iyengar Yoga for Sports book...

I already know yoga helps me with running - posture, flexible and strong feet & legs, breathing and mindset. Now I need to keep at it!

LAST CLASSES - until 27th July!

It's nearly time for me to take a break for some downtime - hopefully swimming (if the jellyfish stay away), more running training for the London marathon (oooo), life & work admin inevitably, but I also hope some time for relaxation and personal yoga practice 😊

After that your Iyengar yoga option is Thursdays 6pm with Annamarie Yoga until my classes start back at Maitri Studio Belfast on Monday 27th July.
