Spark Yoga with Claire

Check out my post over on Claire Hickson] about my yoga classes starting up again from today.

I'm moving all my social media onto one handle, so follow me on Claire Hickson] to keep up with my classes, my upcoming book and more 🥰💜🌟

Hello lovely people, it's been a while!

I've been busy training in a therapy called Rapid Energy Release with Silent Counselling, plus teaching my busy community classes. Life has also been busy, challenging and hard at times (rollercoaster anyone?? 🎢), so I've needed to retreat a little and take care of me.

I've also been rejigging my social media platforms, because frankly I had too many 😅 I had this one PLUS my Healing Poet page which is where I share my poetic musings and provide bespoke poetry....so I need to just be all of me and pull it all together in one page:

Please follow me on where you can find information on my yoga classes, you can read my poetry, watch out for my Rapid Energy Release sessions coming soon, and join my 'In Light' community private Facebook group.

I won't be updating on here any longer, all comms will go through Claire Hickson so see you there # # #

Flying visit to Italy with - lots of planning, chats, creativity and fun 🤩🙏💫
Very excited to host my first international retreat here June 2023 💃🇮🇹 Intimate, authentic, homely retreat space, fully immersed in the most incredible landscape 💚🤍❤️

Classes resume next week 🤩

Are you ready to get back into your practice, or begin a practice? Come and join my amazing community and feel the energy of a live class, breathing and moving together as one 🙌🌟 receive hands on assists to help deepen your experience of the poses.

Watlington, Great Milton or Cuddesdon....plus an additional venue coming soon.

After a long, hot, busy summer, come and feel connected, grounded and calm heading into Autumn 🍂🍁

Suitable for all levels including beginners, I adapt the classes with modifications and variations.

"Forrest Yoga is not about whether you’re in full splits or have your feet behind your head. Feeling your Spirit in the pose is our primal focus. That changes everything. Then the priority becomes the quality of energy rushing through you—instead of whether you’re bending far enough." - Ana Forrest

Such beautiful weather this week calls for some spontaneous sunset yoga sessions 🤩🙏💃🌟 I've been up in my head and overthinking a LOT these past few weeks and this is the perfect antidote....anyone else feeling similar?
Local friends, come and join me on Thursday, bring a mat and a smile, that's all you need 🥰 💜 let's drop out of the busy mind and connect to our bodies and breath.

Connecting with the element of water or 'jala' 💦 this morning, and the sacral chakra 'svadhistana', associated with emotions, passion, pleasure, creativity, fluidity, and sexuality. When the water element is balanced, you are able to connect easily to others, feel content and calm, let things go, be open to joy and pleasure, and express creativity. We finished with a guided visualisation themed around floating in the ocean, fully held, supported and one with the waves 🌊🌊🌊

Beautiful sweet pea posies from today, they smell heavenly 😍

A nod to both the summer solstice, a special time to focus on what you're ready to leave behind as you step into the sunlight and new beginnings.....and of course, International Yoga Day! 🌞🧘‍♀️

I don't have any pictures of myself practising yoga, but that's OK, because today for me is all about celebrating my beautiful community who I teach every single week - teaching for this past year has been an incredible journey of discovery and joy. It is healing and hugely humbling for me to be of service to others in this way.

So I will continue being open, honest, powerful, real and vulnerable with my clients - heart-felt leadership is my mantra 🌏💥✨

How do you support yourself?
I have found ways to support and nourish my body so that I can teach from the best place. Floating in Epsom salts is definitely high on my list 🙏🤍
This afternoon I felt weightless, formless and forgot I had limbs attached to my body 😆 all my muscles fully relaxed, the only sound was my heartbeat, which was pulsing the water....all else was utterly still, silent, free from distractions.
Highly recommend a float in this beautiful centre, the attention to detail is fantastic 🌟🌟🌟

Feeding and nourishing my skin with this beautiful combination from absolutely love these products 🥰🙏 and equally love supporting other small businesses 🌟🙌
I use the rollerball oils 'savasana', 'Love' and 'Bloom' in my classes for some deeply relaxing hands on assists in savasana too 🤍🤍🤍

Check out and her beautiful creations for our retreat at the weekend. I love supporting and collaborating with other small businesses 🤩🥰 thank you Lindsay 🙏🤍 🌷🌸🌼💐🌺 it's the little extra touches that made our day even more special.
You can find her beautiful bouquets and posies on the flower cart twice a week at the top of the hill in Garsington...just outside the Plough.
