POP UP SATURDAY CLASS ⭐️✨✨
Join me this coming Saturday 8th November - 09:30am-11:30am, for an extended 2 hour class ✨

After so many of you telling me how much you miss the fun and challenging Saturday morning Fire & Earth yoga classes we used to do, I’ve decided to start offering some pop-up extended Fire and earth sessions.
It is my intention to try to run these on a monthly basis where possible.
Our first session will run this Saturday, 8 November in Abthorpe at the old school. 09:30-11:30.

we will be combining the elements of Fire and earth to strengthen, clear, cleanse, soothe, soften and harmonize body and mind.

FIRE 🔥

We begin with a strong, 90 minute yoga class to really get things moving and grooving.
This will raise the heart rate to be a little more challenging than the weekday classes, with some optional advanced asana playtime.

EARTH 🌎 we will spend the final 30 minutes, comfortably resting on the ground with guided breath work and a deeply, relaxing, guided Shivasana..

These sessions are intended to set us up perfectly for the weekend 💕

You can book this session here!

⭐️✨ the first of these magical evenings is happening this Thursday 30th October in Abthorpe⭐️✨
Spooky season is bringing all the softness my loves…

back by popular demand
✨✨the Cosmic candlelit evening sessions✨✨

Blissful evenings to sprinkle some magic into the darker seasons.

These events have been so popular over the last 3 years, that this year, I have released 5 dates in total, to breathe some moments of sweet magic into the darker months.

Each will be a deeply relaxing, immersive evening of sensory delight, as you are welcomed into a warm and cosy studio, twinkling with candlelight and projected lights, soft soothing music and soft calming aroma..

what does a Cosmic candlelit evening session consist of?

• We begin by landing softly together, with a carefully curated and deeply soothing nervine tonic, in form of a herbal & floral tea (my blue magic dream tea blend is well known in my community, gentle breath will prepare us for the rest of the evening.

•We then move into soft and gentle Yoga, followed with the exquisite moving meditation of Qigong.

•Making our way onto the ground, we will take a purifying pranayama breath practice, before cosying down with blankets and cushions (feel free to bring your duvet) to receive the cosmic healing vibration of a sound bath. (crystal singing bowls, gong and more).

•Clearing our energy and soothing our nervous systems with this distillation of gentle practices, these deeply restorative evenings are designed to lull you into the arms of profound relaxation.

So if you follow me here, you probably all know I got struck down last Friday with some unholy virus which had me firmly laid up for most of the week.

I’m getting better slowly, not as quickly as I’d like but there lays the practice of acceptance and dialled in self care.

I’ve been humbled my the love received from my community, the soothing coos of “don’t worry about us, just get well” have been a balm to my fear panicked brain.

Gratitude amplified daily by knowing I’m cared for and looked after well at home.

But if you follow my stories you’ve already heard all this… and that’s not really what this post is about.

This mornings soft, slow, and soooo needed stretch out really reminded me how often we’re not fully present in our practice.
How we do the things, say the prayers, breathe the breath, take the asanas, but sometimes with a sense of ticking things off a list.

This mornings practice was super simple.
I listened to my body - “ok, we’re strong enough be up and about for a bit and we sure could use a stretch”

Being conscious of not pushing myself, really made this the most sweet and Intentional practice I’ve had in a while.

Maybe it was the sheer relief of being back in the mat, or maybe the fact that I was so tuned in to my body focused on nurturing, that made this practice so delicious, or more than likely a mixture of both.

Either way a sweet reminder of how I could definitely stand to be more present in my practices 💕💕

Happy Saturday loves 🙏

⭐️Wild Harmony Yoga & Qigong retreat 2026⭐️
https://www.claireodriscoll.co.uk/wild-harmony-2026

🌻We have very exciting news!!
(hint..long weekend in Cornwall anyone??)

🌻I have found an incredible new venue for our Summer Soltice retreat 2026!

🌻on a Magical private Peninsula in Cornwall..

🌻Friday 19th June 2026 -
Monday 22nd June 2026.

🌻We will gather to step away from the everyday hustle, for a deliciously healing, long weekend of Yoga, Qigong, Meditation, Breathwork, Sound healing, hiking, wild swimming, sunrises, sunsets, delicious food and more..

🌻Allowing ourselves a long weekend of profound relaxation.

🌻Some of you will already know, that the beautiful venue we were using before, is no longer available as a retreat space, and I’ve been searching all over the UK for a replacement, but nothing has really felt like a full bodied yes.

🌻until a few day ago, when the stars aligned and I found the most whimsical & wonderful place, cocooned very privately, in calm secluded quiet, the magic of incredible unspoilt lands, nature, Earth, Sea & sky, and cloaked in a comfortable blanket of inviting luxury.
With a deep focus on nature and regenerative land keeping, we will be breathing the “cleanest air possible”

🌻This will be a weekend cloaked in the magic of ceremony and celebration
as we attune to and immerse ourselves in the sacred energy of the Summer Solstice

🌻drenched in the magic of Ocean, earth and Sky, we will attune to the ancient rhythms of Mother Earth as we celebrate the fire energy of the Sun over this auspicious weekend,
We will practice Yoga, Qigong, Meditation, Breathwork,
we will sit in ceremony with cacao, sunrise and Sound healing.

🌻If the weather agrees, expect magnificent sunrise and Sunset practices - we have some incredible spaces to practice and to just be..

⭐️⭐️Payment plan available for this to help things feel more tasteful.⭐️⭐️

✨YOGA & QIGONG CLASSES✨
Hi Everyone 👋 I’m Claire, a local Yoga & Qigong teacher.

I’ve been teaching locally for the past 4 years and for the past 2-3 years chiefly in the beautiful village of Abthorpe just outside Towcester.

I currently have space for some new faces in my in-studio classes, our yoga community is wonderful, warm, welcoming & fun.

All levels are welcome to my classes, from complete beginner to seasoned yogi - it’s important to me that these incredible practices feel accessible and safe, never elite, always welcoming, and a space for you to carve out time for yourself.

I have been a Yoga practitioner for 30+ years and Qigong for 6 years, both of these practices have been of immense help to me personally and this is why I share them.

Expect classes to begin with soothing breath work and meditation to help us to drop into our bodies and out of the busy mind, before we move in a way which honours the body exactly where it’s at.

Expect improved strength, mobility, stamina, breathing, clarity, calm & a clearer connection to ignore peace.

Oh and friendships forged within the yoga community ☺️

Please feel free to reach out with questions or you can find all info on my website below 🙏
