🌳This Afternoon's Woodland Yoga Retreat Between Ashby and Moira🌳

Watching the shadow of the trees 'dance' above the canopy of the bell tent was so relaxing. No blue light, no artificial light, just natural sunlight creating shapes above us, improving our internal focus and sense of wakeful relaxation. Within the circle of trees we breathed in the fresh air, we moved with grace and ease and felt the peace of the forest. We felt the strength of the spirit of the wood, and opened our hearts to it all.

It was an afternoon of complete relaxation and connection with nature, none of us wanted to leave the bell tent, or 'Belle' as I am calling her. She deserves a name, she's providing so much relief and healing over the Summer.

I'm down the woods again tomorrow, 25th August at 2pm and next Sunday 30th at 2pm, to lead some more peaceful retreats. If you want an afternoon to leave behind the noise, the rush, the busyness of life, please message me, it really is a beautiful experience for the soul.

I guess I'm lucky, I never feel lonely in life, even though I live alone and I'm self employed. I guess I've become so self sufficient over the years, I never really think about it, I enjoy the peace. But, and this is a big but, when my big sister came to my woodland retreat today, and she lay her mat next to mine, it made me feel such comfort. She's got my back through and through, and I've got hers, and you just know that some things in life will never change. It was just so great to have her there. I'm very lucky to have a sister like Emma. She'll kill me for writing this! 🤣♥️

💚 Woodland Yoga Sessions Next Week, Between Ashby and Moira 💚

If you would like to experience something a little bit different and even more relaxing than your usual weekly yoga class, come and try woodland yoga in a bell tent. I am so pleased that I went ahead and set this up, as the feedback I am continuing to get is wonderful. Practising yoga outside in the woods combines physical exercise with the healing power of nature. It deeply reduces stress, soothes the nervous system and boosts your immune system. The sights, sounds, smells and the fresh air of a forest, create a calming environment, that is hard to find in a normal yoga studio.

I will be holding two events again this week, Monday 24th and Sunday 30th August, it will be a deeply restorative and relaxing afternoon session.

🌳Woodland Yoga Retreat🌳

Date: Monday 24th August
& Sunday 30th August
Time: 2pm - 3.30pm
Cost: £22.50
What to bring: Yoga mat, blanket

A restorative and relaxing afternoon of heart opening and grounding yoga sequences, mindfulness, breathwork, meditation, deep relaxation and poetry. Similarly it will encourage you to connect with Mother Nature but on a much deeper level, so that you feel a sense of strength and support from the woodland itself. It will also offer insight into our ancient connection with the natural world and how our nervous systems respond to being outdoors in the open countryside. You will feel truly touched by peace.

If you would like to join me this week, please message me. There are 10 spaces available for each session and as soon as payment is received, your space will be reserved and I will send out further details of where to find the bell tent, it is very easy to find. 😊

I am so very very happy to be offering this to you. It really is such a peaceful, beautiful experience for your soul. 🙏

I am so pleased to hear the great feedback of the outdoor yoga events I'm holding this Summer in a bell tent, deep within a woodland setting. Here are examples of the feedback...

💚 I felt so focussed.
💚 I had the best night's sleep.
💚 I loved hearing the birds and the breeze in the trees, so soothing.
💚 I usually suffer with restless legs in bed, but no restlessness that night.
💚 The peace was magical.
💚 A deeper level of relaxation.

Practising yoga outside in the woods combines physical exercise with the healing power of nature. It deeply reduces stress, soothes the nervous system and boosts your immune system. The sights, sounds and fresh air of a forest, create a calming environment, that is hard to find in a normal yoga studio.

💚Mental Health Benefits 💚

Less stress: being around trees, lowers stress hormones (like cortisol) and naturally helps you feel more relaxed.

Better mood: the sounds of birds and the wind act as natural therapy which helps lower anxiety and depression. We have owls and buzzards in this woodland.

Deeper focus: surrounded by nature, it is much easier to let go of distractions and be completely present in the moment.

💚 Physical Benefits 💚

Fresh oxygen: clean woodland air is rich in oxygen which improves your breathing and lung capacity.

Vitamin D: doing yoga outside, exposes you more to sunlight, giving you a vitamin D boost.

My next event is this Sunday 23rd, which is fully booked. I will be holding weekly sessions, so follow me if you would like to experience this heartwarming space. 🙏

💚 Bell Tent Yoga This Week - Love Yoga With Claire 💚

Following the beautiful opening night of the bell tent on Saturday, and the wonderful feedback I have received, I will be holding two yoga events this week in a beautiful bell tent, located between Moira and Ashby de la Zouch. The sessions offer healing yoga practises, completely surrounded and sheltered by the wood and the bell tent herself, it truly is a cosy haven.

🌳 Gentle Woodland Flow with Yoga Nidra 🌳

Time: 6.45pm - 8pm
Cost: £15
What to bring: Yoga mat, blanket

This will be a gentle flow practise, synchronising the moment with the breath, the practise will invite you to connect with the natural world. stepping away from your everyday life allowing you to feel lighter, brighter, refreshed and restored. The relaxation will be a Yoga Nidra practise, or yogic sleep, which brings you to a state of conscious relaxation between wakefulness and sleep. While your body rests deeply and your breathing slows down, your mind remains softly aware, allowing you to release stress and heal. The sessions are nature inspired and very much encourage you to feel part of Mother Nature.

'Belle' has been christened tonight, and I do believe she is everything that I was expecting and more. ♥️ The woodland certainly worked her magic and we were spellbound. We surrendered, we softened, we slowed right down and tuned in to the slow pace and rhythm of Mother Nature. The sights, the sounds and smells of the woodland helped us to feel refreshed and revived. As we practised, we opened our hearts to the peace of the woodland, and grounded and anchored ourselves into the woodland floor, helping our nervous systems to feel soothed. I encouraged everyone to feel the strong spirit and energy of the woodland, with its unconstrained growth towards the light, and unstoppable deep roots branching beneath the earth. The deep relaxation towards the end of the practise inspired everyone to 'think like a tree,' and to allow their life and soul to grow in whatever direction their authentic self takes them. The peace felt by everyone was incredible, so at the very end of the practise we honoured the woodland and 'Belle,' as both provided shelter and protection for us to feel deeply relaxed and at ease. The practise was completed with a wise old owl hooting, it was as though it was waiting for us to finish, such good timing.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me to make this happen. ♥️

🌳Woodland Yoga Retreat🌳

As some of you are aware, it has been a mission of mine to provide yoga and meditation in a woodland setting for a very long time. Yoga in a woodland, helps us to heal and be soothed on so many levels, Mother Nature provides a soothing 'healing balm' for the mind, body, spirit and soul, and as we practise, we begin to soak up the calm and stillness which is always present in a woodland.

To provide a really cosy, comfortable and sheltered space, I have erected a beautiful bell tent, it has four doors and windows, so that we can see and feel connected to the surrounding woodland. There is a thick ground sheet and dense matting on the bell tent floor so that we can fully relax into the woodland floor beneath. The pathway down to the bell tent will be lit with fairy lights and there is a tea light chandelier which I will hang in the doorway to provide even more comfort and magic.

This Saturday, I am holding an opening event, to christen the bell tent. The bell tent is large and will easily accommodate 10 people, with ample room to stretch out fully. The event will be a Woodland Yoga Retreat, combining yoga sequences, breath work, meditation and relaxation, surrounded by beautiful woodland, I often hear the sound of a buzzard calling in the distance which always warms my heart. The narrative that I will use throughout the session will encourage everyone to connect with the peace held within the wood, and it will inspire each person to remember our roots and our ancient connection with the natural world. Poetry and soulful music will be shared and it will be a deeply restorative and relaxing experience, set deep within a wood, a ‘Woodland Yoga Retreat.'

Date: 8th August
Time: 7pm - 8.30pm
Location: Woodland between Moira and Ashby
Cost: £22.00
What to bring: Yoga mat and blanket, a pillow or cushion

If you would like to join me this Saturday, please let me know. Once payment is received, your space will be reserved and I will give the full address of where to find the magic. Hope to see you there. 🌳🙏

My sunset yogis. 🌞♥️

Tonight's session was all about the Sun and how we should never take the sun for granted. In natural sunlight we get a boost of vitamin D which helps absorb calcium and phosphates so prevents brittle bones, it lowers blood pressure, gives our immune system a boost, and supports our circadian rhythm, or internal body clock or wake/sleep cycle. Watching a sun set, can give you a feeling of awe, and when we experience an 'awe' feeling, it makes our worries and troubles seem far less overwhelming, in the grand scheme of things. The sun will still rise in the morning whatever is going on in your life. ♥️

I wanted everyone to really connect with the strength and power of the sun, and to consider all that it gives to us, which we perhaps take for granted. It supports us and sustains our health and sense of well being every single day that it burns.

If we get outside as often as we can throughout the day, our circadian rhythm or internal body clock will work more effectively, and as the sun sets, our bodies produce higher levels of melatonin, which helps us to sleep, and our cortisol levels start to lower, which is a stress hormone.

I could see in everyone's faces tonight, as the sun started to wane, that their circadian rhythm was in sync with the sun setting. I am sure everyone will have a sound sleep tonight. I'm tucked up now, and all I'm thinking about is that beautiful hormone melatonin. Night night. 😘

🌞🌳Sunset Yoga, The Golden Hour: Secluded natural open space and woodland between Ashby de la Zouch and Moira🌞🌳

🌳 Thursday 23rd July
🌳 7pm - 8.15pm
🌳 £12

Did you know there are so many benefits to watching and feeling a part of the sun waning and setting? I will share with you, as we practise together, the powerful effects of the Sun setting, and how it helps our natural daily rhythm, and can help to induce relaxation and sleep towards the end of the day. By practising yoga during the golden hour, we can meet ourselves with softness and use the natural waning sunlight to sync our circadian rhythm and regulate our nervous system.

A summer flow of yoga sequences and breathwork, followed by a lakeside meditation, as we bask in the waning Sun, and we finish with a deep relaxation.

Come join me, the buzzards, the hares, and the dragonflies at the golden hour, in this beautiful, magical location. If you decide to book a place, I will give full details of the address and what to bring, so please send me a message if you would like to be part of this. 🙏🌞

I wanted everyone to let go of the constant need to push and rush in modern day life, and to connect with the sense of ease and hush, that the natural world constantly gives, if you open your heart to it. Our hearts felt it all, we felt nature's embrace, we slowed right down to nature's rhythm, and surrendered fully to the healing power of Mother Nature. This is where we can feel most at ease, away from artificial, synthetic urban and modern lifestyles. The natural world is where we came from, we sometimes forget we're natural beings, and it's where we will always feel we belong. When I'm in nature, I am home. 🙏♥️🌳
