Well. It's Monday. So I should be talking yoga but ..... the beautiful Cryssie joined our little herd yesterday. She's a real sweetheart, totally chilled yoga pony and I think I'm in love.

If you do want to join me for yoga this week, I will tear myself away from her long enough to teach - promise!!

Usual times and places guys! www.yogabyclare.co.uk

Much love

First yoga practice in my new garden 'studio'.
So no it's not finished, and no, it's not perfect. It needs decorating and a floor putting down. But you know what? If I waited for it to be perfect, I might never get there.
Yoga helps you to stay flexible and pain free, to stay strong and amazing, now and into later life.
Maybe now is not the PERFECT time to start YOGA. But start anyway. Who knows? It may just be the BEST time.
Yoga Classes at The Old School, Spondon every Friday
9.30 a.m. Morning Flow
6.30 p.m. Wind down for the weekend: Gentle Evening Flow
Use the code START when you book for £5 off your first class.

Ta da! When you resolve your own laptop problems ...

Yoga drum roll for me (even if it did take nearly three hours and a lot of support from a REAL HUMAN at my website host)!

My contact forms are now working, so if you have been trying to get in touch, everything should be working now, so do try again.

We had an interesting discussion about politics and protest at my yoga class this morning, starting with reducing the voting age to 16, the declining right to protest in this country and meandering, as you do through various facets of human rights.

Which leads to the question - do politics and yoga go together, or should we steer clear of politics in yoga classes?

For me, yes, yoga is political.

Every time I teach or attend a class, I am reminded that this gathering, particularly of women, to study and share ideas is a unique privilege. (This morning's class happened to be all female). So many people around the world are denied this right for economic, cultural, religious or political reasons.

Yoga is banned in some countries because of an association with spiritual practice. I am grateful that freedom of belief and expression has not yet been entirely eroded in this country.

I feel so grateful that I have enough to eat, a safe space to live in, a community to share my joy with, that is not under attack. I do not have to worry that my son will be shot for going to buy food. I am lucky that I have enough head space to even consider attending a yoga class.

So yes! Yoga is political. What in life is not?

Om shanti om.
Om peace, peace, peace

Let me know what you think. Do politics and yoga go together?

The Ancient Egyptians believed that we were made from clay, and like pots as we travel through life, our experiences cause chips and cracks.

These cracks represent the hardships we have endured. And they also believed that the cracks let light in. So the more cracks you have, the brighter your light shines.

Love it!

Like it or loathe it, Summer is here and it is HOT!

With temperatures soaring how do you keep cool?

I eat cooling foods -sweet, bitter and astringent tastes. Melon, cucumber, mint, coriander and leafy greens work well in the heat.

Also fresh fruit like pears, berries and pomegranate.

And cooling drinks - add fresh fruit to water for a sugar free treat.

This week's yoga classes are all designed to soothe fiery, pitta energy. Gentle cooling practices.

Just right for the hot days.
