This Friday, 20th March is the Spring Equinox, midway between the winter and summer solstices. Day and night hang in perfect balance and then, hurrah! We can really start to notice the days lengthening and the season turning as we officially enter astrological Spring.

So expect a little Spring focused activity in class this week. Perhaps a gentle growth and the odd challenge or two, as the energies of Spring really start to take hold.

This month, expect yoga classes that
FLOW - awakening and hydrating those joints,
MOVE - stimulating body and mind
BALANCE - your body and reset your mind.

Join me for your energising spring class here:

Are you up for a challenge? Yoga in midlife and beyond.

So I've been playing around this afternoon with the idea of what it means to get a little older. Because between you and me, mostly my brain doesn't feel much older than it did forty years ago!

But I can feel that my physical body hasn't quite got the memo. What I do know is that getting older is a privilege and yes, it is possible to increase your strength, balance and confidence as you reach midlife and beyond.

So I've written a bit of a blog about it (no AI, no Chat GPT just me). Follow the link and let me know what you think.

Have a fab weekend.

It isn’t just a midlife crisis.

Did you know that we don’t age in a straight line. Science tells us that we experience aging in two major bursts. The first happens in our mid-forties, and affects our metabolism, immunity, and cardiovascular health.

Losing strength, balance and energy at midlife isn’t just menopause. It happens to men too.

True strength doesn’t come from pushing harder. It comes from care.

A gentle stretch. That’s strength
Resting without guilt. Strength.
Listening and responding to our bodies. Strength.

Kindness is not weakness. It is the foundation of lasting energy.
Midlife isn’t something to conquer. It’s a season to support. And support, given wisely and consistently, is what makes us truly strong.

Join me for kind, supportive, strengthening yoga. www.yogabyclare.co.uk/book-a-class/

id you know… you don’t age in a straight line?

Research shows we tend to age in noticeable bursts — around 44 and again after 60. Suddenly your body feels different. Your energy shifts. Recovery takes longer. Things that used to feel easy… don’t.

But the good news is that you can support your body exactly where it is right now.

Staying strong matters.
Strong muscles protect your mobility and balance, reduce the risk of falls, help control blood sugar, lower inflammation, and make everyday life feel easier.

Staying balanced matters.
Balance isn’t just about not falling. It sends powerful signals to your brain that you are safe, helping to lower anxiety and keep your mind clear for the fun stuff in life.

Staying flexible matters.
Flexibility improves circulation, posture and energy, reduces aches and pains, and lowers the risk of injury. Strong and flexible is the winning combination.

The best part?
You don’t have to think about any of this.

My classes are designed to build strength, balance and flexibility in a way that supports the body you have now — not the one you had at 25.

By this time of year, even I look out of my window at the rain and find it hard to motivate myself and get going. Yep! And I’m the original ‘no such thing as bad weather, just the wrong clothes’ kinda girl.

The endless damp wet weather makes my joints ache, and my heart feel a little weary.

But do you know what? As I’m typing this, there’s a little brightness outside, not quite sunshine but a lifting of the grey cloud and a little brightness.

Just the way I feel when I’m planning my yoga classes.

Gentle yoga soothes and oils your joints. This month’s herb, cinnamon, is warming, uplifting, nurturing. Just like my yoga. Good for your heart and soul.

Join me. Your joints and heart will thank you.

Been feeling tired lately?

Me too! When it's grey and foggy outside, it’s hard to feel strong and resilient. Especially when we are busy or when those winter bugs come knocking.

Resilience isn’t about feeling amazing all the time - if only! It is about bouncing back more quickly: sleeping better, handling day to day stress without feeling worn out and staying well.

Join my warm, friendly yoga classes. Slow, supported movement and gentle breath helps to ease stress and restore your energy this winter.

Kind, consistent practice that quietly builds resilience.

Message me on info@yogabyclare.co.uk or book your spot at www.yogabyclare.co.uk/book-a-class/

I can’t wait to meet you on a mat soon.

Stay supple and strong all winter.

Crikey! It’s been cold! Never mind the risk of slipping over, we’ve also had to contend with dry skin, creaky joints and sore, tight muscles.

My gentle nourishing yoga can help you stay comfortable and mobile stretching tight muscles and easing your joints so that you feel supple and strong.

Look after yourself this winter. Join my joint friendly yoga classes help to keep you moving comfortably throughout the season.

And if you’ve never tried yoga before, you’ll find a warm welcome. All classes suitable for every body and every level.

Supporting your New Year Resolutions
Well What a cold snap we’re having!! Time for a little warmth and winter wisdom..

Winter invites us to slow down. Ease the pace. Move gently. Nourish ourselves inside and out. And yet, traditionally, we set our resolutions at this time, and challenge ourselves to be busy, motivated, better.

Whether you want to get more active, ease those joints, lose weight, manage your stress better or simply relax and make new friends, my yoga classes can help.

In my yoga classes this month, we’re practising abhyasa — slow, consistent movement that quietly builds strength and resilience. This regular steady practice is the kind that makes those resolutions happen.

And if you’ve never tried yoga before, you’ll find a warm welcome. All my classes are suitable for every body and every level.

As we have a new larger practice space, there are now mat spaces available for my popular Tuesday morning class.

Blessings for 2026.

It must be another New Year! The traditional "I'm out flyering" photo.

Only this year Mr H is with me and we're in Chester Green, not Spondon. (Don't worry Spondon. Your turn will come!)

So if you do fancy a spot of gentle yoga, join me at www.yogabyclare.co.uk

or if having a lot of a laugh is more your thing, why not try Mr H's 6 week Derby based course in Improvised Comedy? No previous experience required. No need to be funny, just be yourself.
www.improvwithadam.com

Whatever your choice 2026 is going to be a great year!

See you on a mat or for a laugh soon
much love
Clare Xx
