It was an incredible protest yesterday, attended by over half a million people 🇵🇸✊🕊️ That’s hundreds of thousands not the tens of thousands mainstream news channel reported.
As ever ours was a peaceful movement. So emotionally charged as there have been 2 years of genocide during which time over 67 000 Palestinian men women and children. Entire Families have been wiped out. 67 000. Over 18 000 of which were children. The world has been watching. And the movement for peace and justice and the call for an end to oppression building.
Walking with my own family, I am relieved that we are a family of love, daring to look outside our cosy bubble of relative safety and to walk in solidarity with those who are not afforded the same privilege.
Ben Jamal of said
‘Tomorrow, Palestinian parents may feel they do not have to write the names of their children upon their arms, so that if they are blown to pieces some part of them will be recognisable for burial.’ 😢💔
It is unimaginable. The western world has to wake up. And it is.
He also shared these poignant words ‘we know that an injustice anywhere to anyone, is an injustice everywhere to everyone.’
What can we do? We can educate ourselves, we can actively engage in making the world a kinder place, we can boycott. We can continue to have the awkward conversations with family and friends.
There were three miles of protest for humanity yesterday. And those three miles aren’t going away.
Proud, as ever, to walk with and friends and supporter of

✨ Taking good care of each other ✨
This is online only tomorrow night. It is free to join, and any donations are gratefully received for a family in Gaza.
Please do share with your friends and family who would benefit from guided rest.
And one day, just like that, in what might seem like a flash when you look back upon it, motherhood means *seeing your son unpack at uni, again.
(*or replace with what your one’s adventure of their own will be.)
It is truly a privilege to be on this ride.
My prenatal yoga prepared me exceptionally well for my birth a lot of years ago. I hope I get to share this with you too.
The next 6 week prenatal yoga course begins this Sunday ✨ It is such a great way of preparing your body and mind for your birth experience, to help support you through your pregnancy, and to offer insight into how you might care for yourself this into this motherhood.
We will build a sense of strength and stability within your changing body. We will meet lots of work with breath to offer peace, calm, strength and present moment awareness. There will be opportunity to adjust the physical practice to suit your own unique experience, and there will be plenty of time for a deep rest at the end of practice.
Please reach out with any questions.
I have space for a couple more of you.
I will pop the booking link in my bio, or please message me to request to join 🙏💕✨
I wish to add that it is unthinkable that the safety and well-being of mothers and families and birthing and babies is not respected around the globe. And my prayers as always are with people in Gaza especially.
Free Palestine. 🇵🇸🕊️

A 6 week Prenatal yoga group begins this Sunday ✨
Teaching prenatal yoga is a passion of mine. It is such a great way of preparing your body and mind for your birth experience, to help support you through your pregnancy, and to offer insight into how you might care for yourself this into this motherhood.
We will build a sense of strength and stability within your changing body. We will meet lots of work with breath to offer peace, calm, strength and present moment awareness. There will be opportunity to adjust the physical practice to suit your own unique experience, and there will be plenty of time for a deep rest at the end of practice.
I hope to meet you there.
If you are unable to make all dates please contact me claire@yogafeet.co.uk and let me know those you can attend.
Prenatal yoga begins this Sunday, and I have space for you to join.
Please do share with your pregnant friends and family.
We gather as a relatively small group, and the intention of the practices are to help support you through your pregnancy, to help prepare for your birth (body, mind and breath awareness), and to meet some useful tools that you may remember during this new motherhood.
It is always such a pleasure to meet you on this journey.
Please reach out if you have any questions at all.
This weekend, I am so happy to be offering this opportunity to rest and recharge in the stunning setting of the_living_theatre in Whitwell.
I am joined by two beautiful souls ; Suzanne offering cacao and Claire bathing you in sound. We will begin in our circle with a quiet moment, before a ceremony of cacao. We close with an opportunity to rest, to lay down and receive a beautiful, gentle sound bath.
Sandwiched between the two we will practice a heart focused yoga practice including possibility for both movement and stillness, guided by me.
I look forward to seeing you all so much.
What a perfect end to the summer at this magical place. Message me if you have any questions at all claire@yogafeet.co.uk.
In case you are wondering…
Please bring a small mug, your yoga mat and blanket and cushion.
It’s a beautiful walk up to the event, and there is a new compost toilet onsite!

When the world can feel too much, that there must be too much bad to let the light through, someone amazing reminds you that the light far outweighs the darkness.
When it’s your son it’s even more magical.
So proud of Jack for creating this incredible house and dance event at raising £864.71 for - YES! That much 💥
Together, let’s make the world a better place

Something we can all do.
A call from for us to globally make an Economic impact.
What else can we do but respond to this call? It is simple. Money makes governments listen. We are reminded that we have some power to end this genocide.
It might take some forward planning, so have a good scroll through.
This global strike day doesn’t mean you have to stop working, but to stop the transactions that you make on this one day.
Buying train tickets in advance, changing direct debits, do what you can.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could actually change the world.
And please share widely so that together, we can make our voices heard 🙏✨🇵🇸🕊️

Our cat has a small injury.
But she loves being outside.
So, I bought a cat lead.
We got the hang of it together.
And now each day I practice what I have come to call Cat Mindfulness.
Nothing to do but follow her around.
Nowhere to be but in the garden.
She seems pretty calm too.

Over 80 000 good people on yet another Saturday calling for an end to arms sales to I3r&hell and to stop this genocide we are witnessing daily on our screens.
The heavy rain wasn’t going to put us off. And nor is the attempt to stop our protest and to instil fear into protestors.
Hearing crumbling voice - seeing her humanity oozing through I broke. We heard from so many incredible speakers. The tears flowed. The knowing that we are not alone and that our voices matter and that together we are part of a global movement which is bigger than we can perhaps imagine rang through the speeches. As did the grave thought that things are dark, and will get darker before change comes.
I remember so much of what I heard but this one repeats. ‘No indigenous people bomb their own land. They love their soil.’
People who inspired me and in case you don’t follow them:
This list is not exhaustive.
Seeing good humans amongst good humans.
A brief thank you as I walked past the incredible documenting in pictures this great movement.
A reminder that we must do all we can and that .divestment.sanctions will tell you who to boycott. After all, money matters.
Walking past the ‘counter protest’ (see last few slides 👉) to see a flashing sign letting us know to watch our words made me shout louder 🔥 honestly f**k being silent in the face of a genocide.
This is why. Another imprint from the speakers ‘when you drop your child at school, imagine the whole classroom of 27 children will be killed. And then imagine that happening every single day for almost two years.’
So we must march. We must write to our mps, share with our ‘racist uncle’, wear our keffiyehs.
See you on September 6th next. It’s a wonderful experience. Good people walking with good people.

ABOUT ME:
Yoga has been at my core for a lot of years now, and to be able to share my passion for yoga I took my teacher training with Katy Appleton of appleyoga in 2017. I’m really happy to be offering small classes and individual sessions at my yoga studio - The Lodge.
I started my journey in this field of complementary and alternative health over 7 years ago now, when I trained with Louise Keet at the London School of Reflexology in Regents College. I hold a level 3 diploma in Reflexology. I am a full member of the Association of Reflexologists. My practice has been established for over 6 years now.
My personal belief is that a holistic approach to health can provide a positive benefit to everyone.
A LITTLE ABOUT YOUR REFLEXOLOGY TREATMENT:
Your session will be an hour, with a 45 minute treatment, although please allow a little more time for your first visit when we will have a look at your medical background. We might also discuss some aspects of your lifestyle with you, for me to gain a more holistic view of you so that I can give you the best treatment possible and tailor what I do to your individual need.
All of your details will be treated with complete confidentiality.
The overall sensation is usually a relaxing and soothing one and I will work with you at a pace you feel comfortable with during our treatments. There may be discomfort in some places, which may be an indication of imbalance in the body. You may choose to sleep or rest your eyes during your treatment, or you may wish to talk. It is your time and space, and I want you to be comfortable enough to do whichever you would prefer.
TREATMENT PRICE AND LOCATION
£45 for an hour private yoga
£50 per reflexology session
Gift vouchers available
