We are Clare & Jonathan, currently based in Cheshire, after a stint in London, and elsewhere. Jonny is Greater Manchester born and raised, and I’m from Leicestershire.

I have enjoyed yoga on and off for 20 years. I completed my 200hr training with My Vinyasa Practice, and am a registered yoga teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance. I’m also certified in Yoga Nidra Meditation, and Trauma-Informed Yoga, and I am a Certified Mindfulness Coach.

I am now training in my 300hr YTT and for further certifications in Pranayama (Breathwork) & Ayurvedic Nutrition.

Like many, I first found yoga as a form of exercise. But something happened in that very first vinyasa class. I walked out with an unusual feeling of knowing I’d physically worked out, but instead of feeling tired, I felt energised, and strangely calm, at the same time. That feeling always drew me back. Fast forward a couple of decades, and I now understand the physiological and philosophical reasons behind the change of state. Yoga is far more than what is practiced on the mat, and has for me, become increasingly more a way of life. Personally, it is as much to do with the mind, as the body. Allowing me to quieten my chattering thoughts and be aware in the present. I hope to share that experience with others, and help them feel the benefits both on, and off, the mat.

Jonny has a lifelong passion for music, recording and playing live as a band member over the years. He found meditation a few years ago, after a period of personal upheavals and subsequent self-study, and is now a Certified Meditation Teacher. He’s undertaken further studies in non-dual and other related meditation practices.

On experiencing his first gong bath, his love of music and meditation found a shared home, and he has explored this passion since.
