Yoga by Clare

Clare is my 4th yoga teacher, in over some 30 years. She instills a level of calmness, of tranquility into her yoga classes that I've never experienced before. Her method? Keeping it simple: so that we students can concentrate on our breathing – it feels as if the class lasts for just one breath. In-breath; a stillness in practice; and out-breath; end of the class. Trouble is…time just whisks by far too quickly, though Clare inspires us with such an energy that it remains for days. Thank you dear Clare. Namaste. Kit

Great beginners course to Yoga-Clare is friendly and a great teacher. Overall a great introduction to Yoga for a total beginner!

Lovely classes for anyone of all abilities. Nothing too strenuous and was a very welcoming group. Clare took the time to speak to everyone who attended personally before and after, and I honestly felt so comfortable which normally can be hard when you first join classes.

Clare's classes are so welcoming and I look forward to them every week. Clare explains the yoga shapes and breathing patterns in such a friendly way that's always easy to follow. Her guided meditation at the end of each class is always beautiful, creating a feeling of total comfort and true relaxation.

Arriving to my first class in January completely new to Yoga, I couldn't have asked for a better guide into the world of Yoga than Clare. She creates a perfect balance by teaching the history of yoga, anatomy and of course the poses and how they flow together. All in a supportive, engaging and easy to follow teaching environment, carefully crafted to be fully inclusive of all abilities and learning rates.I can honestly say no matter what mood or physical aches and pains I arrive to Clare's practice in, I always leave energised, centered and looking forward to the next class.Truly grateful for all the work Clare clearly puts into her teaching practice.I couldn't rate her highly enough!

Clare classes are informative, relaxing and really enjoyable. Clare makes everyone feel at ease andreally plans the class to suit your needs. You come away feeling stronger, more flexible and relaxed.

Excellent Vinyasa Flow yoga beginners class with a warm & welcoming teacher. I've just completed the first 6 week block of beginners yoga with Clare, at Ashbrook Centre, Borrowash and highly recommend it. Clare is extremely organised and sends out detailed & informative lesson plans each week which are very interesting and useful. She explains things clearly and is very friendly and approachable. Clare is an excellent teacher and takes time to speak to you personally and she explains clearly what we do each lesson. The venue is also very good, clean, parking spaces and has a loo! I'm continuing the yoga course with Clare because I feel comfortable and happy with her. I'd highly recommend Clare's yoga class to anyone.

Practicing yoga with Clare both on a Friday evening and in her Yin Yoga class, is a wonderful experience that has changed my life. Clares classes are beautiful movement, stillness, mindfulness and acceptance. She encourages you in understanding and listening to your body, bringing you greater flexibility and a calming energy.

Clare is a wonderfully warm and gentle yoga teacher. She's a natural working with children, knowing how to put them at ease while also respecting and understanding their own individual needs and pace. Her children's yoga classes are fun and brought to life by her storytelling and funnycharacters. A lovely calming hour in a busy world.

From the moment I spoke to Clare, I knew I'd found something special. She took the time to listen to, and understand, what I hoped to experience from yoga.  Her warmth and kindness filled me with the confidence to try, and I am so glad I did!It is such a welcoming, supportive and friendly class.  Clare is is extremely knowledgeable, and has a very calm and beautiful way of sharing and teaching in an inclusive and encouraging way.I love everything that yoga brings, and after just a few classes I know this is going to help me in so many ways.I highly recommend Clare's yoga classes.
