your yoga journey from seed to branch
The way I have offered support and guidance for others through yoga is by an invitation to join me on a journey. For over 20 years the majority of participants in my in person classes have enrolled for a 10 session term. This has given us the opportunity to experience the richness of exploring an overarching theme. Feedback over the years has affirmed that this is valuable and helpful so I am inviting you to our ongoing journey in this mode of online recordings.
Each 3 month period offers within it one or two overarching themes that provide a focus for our practice together (to see what has been offered since autumn 2020 please scroll down).
You can join the current journey (seed) and add as much additional content as you would like. Some of the previous yoga journey themes are also offered as courses so feel free to check those out also.
Clare offers a unique yoga experience through her themed sessions. Each class builds on the one before, and we are guided on a delightful journey of unfolding and expanding. On this journey Clare invites us to deepen our exploration of the qualities of the heart, to discover and embody essential alignment principles, to contemplate yoga’s rich philosophical tradition, and to be inspired by the world around and within us.

weeks 1 – 5: S.T.O.R.Y
We are by nature meaning makers and meaning seekers, puzzle makers and puzzle solvers, story tellers and story listeners. This series has been inspired by my pondering of the importance of story. Sessions are informed by my recent re-introduction to Joseph Campbell’s ‘The Hero’s Journey’.
S = Spacious … notice the background story … make room for the unexpected
T = Telling is creating. What story are we telling ourselves? … and how does it effect our physiology
O = Open … to being surprised. We are more than we think. We have greater capacity than we think. Let me tell you a story about a monkey-god who leapt over the sun
R = Refresh. Like refresh on your computer takes care of assumptions it makes we need to refresh ourselves. What are we missing? A cautionary and celebratory tale about underestimating a many limbed goddess.
Y = You. You are every character and every characteristic in the story.
weeks 6 – 10: Fascia wellness
Stability & Freedom
Fluidity
Sensory Refinement
Elasticity
Connection & Separation
