Clare, your yoga teacher

Clare travelled widely throughout Africa settling in Livingstone, Zambia where she immersed herself teaching yoga in the community, in 5* hotels and on retreats. Clare taught nutrition in the local college, provided nutrition consultations in Zambian lodges and hotels, and taught english to local children.

This Yoga Safari is inspired by a desire to share the magic of this country along with the healing and restorative qualities of yoga.
