What trainees say about Clare

I met Clare as one of the Tutors on the Teacher Training Yoga course that I attended 2019/2020.  I signed up for this course full of fear and full of I can’t do this, the Imposter syndrome was rife in me. I had woke up 7yrs previously and had wanted to do the yoga training but had been held back by my negative  thinking. I had learnt the Sun Salutation and the 5Tibetan Rites many years before and that was the extent of my yoga knowledge, so in terms of yoga or Asana terminology I was a beginner, so I was scared that I had jumped in . Clare is a very knowledgeable and nurturing yoga teacher who takes you through the pose bit by bit, over and over so that you know what your body can and can’t do . Clare takes care to explain how to adapt postures so that you do not injure or further aggravate existing problems. Clare is a well of knowledge on Yoga Philosophy adding this into the experience,  bringing home the idea that yoga is more than the Asanas.

At one point I was full of fear that I wasn’t good enough and I was uptight and nervous and Clare calmly said ,”Ann so what if you get it wrong, you can do it again”, I just needed that reassurance that “if at first you don’t succeed you try, try and try again”, that’s the essence of yoga in a nutshell. Clare teaches that is not a competition, it’s at your pace, at your level, at your ability and that it’s a gift to have the space on the mat for yourself.

Thank you Clare for reminding me that “I am worth it and to keep coming back to the mat, even to sit and just be with me”. I hope that you will stay long enough to experience the calm you will find through attending Clare’s classes and how the body with gentle care releases tension and moves easier into position’s. Enjoy discovering you.

Ann Herkes, Yoga teacher

 

 I count myself lucky to have had Clare Bassett as my trainer on a number of Yoga and Meditation trainings I’ve completed.

Clare is a generous and accomplished teacher, warm, supportive, grounded, inclusive and inspiring. She is passionate about Yoga and Meditation and her deep knowledge and experience shine through in her teaching. Clare teaches with crystal clarity and makes everything really accessible and understandable. Her training style places strong emphasis on making Yoga & Meditation accessible, safe and enjoyable for her trainees and their students.

I’ve trained with many great teachers from around the world and Clare is up there as one of my favourite and most respected. You’ll come awake from her courses with a smile on your face, joy in your heart, and feeling competent and confident in the skills she has taught you. More than that, you’ll come away knowing you’ve made a new friend and trusted mentor.

Thank you Clare
