Claudio Astuto is a London-based Ashtanga Yoga, Yoga for Sports, and movement teacher. A former basketball player, Claudio turned to yoga to support his athletic training and rehabilitate a back injury. He teaches Ashtanga in a non-dogmatic, accessible way, adapting the practice to his students’ individual needs. His teaching is inspired by his own teacher, Hamish Hendry, with whom he has practised for over 10 years.

Claudio’s aim is to create an environment where everyone can explore and find their own relationship to the practice. With a background in sports massage, he integrates anatomy knowledge into his classes, making them safe, bio-mechanically relevant and functional.
