I had my first one to one appointment with Claire in 2015 to get me started in yoga. I needed help with flexibility, strengthening and was intimidated by the thought of joining a group and holding everyone back. The one to one sessions led me to now where I have been attending yoga once a week until COVID 19 and now twice a week online, all led by Claire. She can give you a very gentle start to ensure you can get started and will work at a pace that's best suited to where you are at that given time. She can keep growing your own ability right up to a very advanced level and lead you further than you ever thought was possible. I continue to grow with Claire's guidance and leadership and use her classes to manage stress and help my physical wellbeing also.

The most important technique I learned in The Silva Method was creative visualization... I found that it was amazingly effective.

When I was sick with cancer and on treatment I would use the Long Relax for total and healing relaxation, adding the Pain Control Technique to minimise the pain. The results were terrific. I was told I was a model patient at the hospital. I now use the techniques mostly on the road to have an uneventful journey and to be moving the traffic along: I set duration for my travel and using the techniques always find that I achieve my goal, arriving safely, relaxed and on time. I use the sleep technique whenever I'm restless to have good quality sleep. Also, I sometimes have to travel long distances to attend meetings so, when I know I'm going to have a very short night sleep I use the Long Relax to improve the quality of sleep in order to be alert whilst driving and during the meeting.

I must be attending yoga 10 years now. Lately on Zoom. I went initially not expecting to do those 10 years. It is a tribute to you Claire, how enjoyable you make the class and the way you encourage us & teach us. I have missed very few classes which are calming and relaxing. We know the asanas, now but it’s easy to get distracted at home. I think it is difficult to describe the total experience until you are doing the yoga. I highly recommend it for anyone who needs a little me time.

It is over 30 years since I first took the Silva Method course and figured I had got value for money. Over the years since I have had experience of a fair few course facilitators in repeat sessions. I have found Claire Lombard to be an excellent and capable instructor of the Silva Method and I have also taken instruction in Yoga and French language from her with positive results.
