Ciara Barron

Ciara moved to London in 2011 and it was there, she started her exploration into the world of yoga, sampling the variety of disciplines and wonderful teaching styles available in the capital. The more she practiced, the more she learned, the more she wanted to learn and so her passion grew and yoga became cemented in her life. While living and working in Nicaragua, Central America, she had the opportunity to complete her Hatha yoga, teacher training with the internationally recognised Peter Sterios, ERYT500, founder of Manduka and yoga teacher at the White House, whose four decades of teaching helped transform her relationship with her practice and her life. During this training, the talented James G. Bailey imparted a vast body of Ayurvedic knowledge which then set Ciara up with the foundations she needed to continue her yoga journey.

Ciara applies creativity and authenticity to her style of teaching with the aim of helping students connect to their bodies and minds, making them feel at ease in doing so but most importantly, enjoying each step along the way. She continues to study, explore and discover more about yoga and herself each day.
