Hi, I'm Clare
I’m a 500 hours qualified yoga teacher, Reiki healer and writer. I teach beginners, gentle flow and yin yoga to people who want to stretch their bodies and their minds, as well as teaching yoga philosophy. I’m also a certified Cosmic Kids Children’s Yoga teacher.
I juggled with bringing up our adopted son, having a stressful full time job, caring for a menagerie of rescued fur babies and losing my Mum to cancer three years ago.
Yoga saved me. I returned to yoga online as a way to release physical stress and knots from my body, and found that it offered me so much more, mindfully and emotionally. My spirit started to settle and I found the courage to release the day job when redundancy beckoned at 54. I trained as a yoga teacher and can honestly say that I have never looked back!
And when I’m not practicing yoga?
- 2 ponies, 1 elderly dog, 1 cat, 2 chickens, 1 cockerel
- 1 husband and 1 son
- Love the great outdoors: walking, mountain biking and occasionally reminding the ponies they have work to do too
- Improvised Theatre performer
- Obsessive reader
- In summary, either on my yoga mat, or covered in mud!
MY YOGA JOURNEY
I’ve practiced yoga off and on ( to be honest, more off at times!) since I was an overweight, shy teenager. I’ve found that I’ve come back to yoga time after time because it always helps when life is difficult and when I just haven’t felt comfortable in my own skin.
It has helped me through career challenges, redundancy, parenthood, illness, bereavement and managing a very stroppy pony!
It has taught me to plant my feet and breathe.
To make peace with myself.
It has brought me strength, calmness and intense joy.
It’s never too late. Since I completed my teacher training in 2022, I have never stopped learning; from my senior yoga teacher training through to learning yoga’s sister science – Ayurveda, starting September 2025.
So here I am! On an incredible journey of learning and discovery. Just like you.
