Santosha is a sanskrit word meaning contentment.
We are surrounded by so many messages which encourage us to feel discontented. We are constantly searching for and chasing
after the next desire. Contentment is to be happy right now with whom we are and what we have, and to playfully explore our
limits and boundaries, accepting what we find and knowing that tomorrow may bring something new.
The studio offers Classical Pilates and Anusara Yoga through group classes (see timetable for details) or private tuition.
The studio is located in Monkton Park. There is ample free on-street parking in the neighbourhood.
The Santosha Studio is owned and operated by Claire Murphy. While living in the US, Claire took up Yoga as a hobby which
quickly became an obsession and then a way of life. Claire focused her practice on the Anusara style because of its unique
focus on bio-mechanics and its heart-centred qualities. She is one of only 2 certified Anusara teachers in the UK today.
Claire is available to assist, lead and develop workshops, immersions and trainings throughout the UK.
Claire then undertook intensive training and has become a fully qualified Classical Pilates teacher, specialising in the
full range of Pilates apparatus. Classical Pilates encompasses the full spectrum of students from top athletes to those requiring
rehabilitation exercises. In the UK, Pilates apparatus is only taught in London and a handful of other major cities. Chippenham
can now boast this honour too!
