“Yoga for All”
About Clare
Hi, I’m Clare Roberts and I’m the owner and founder of Hummingbird Yoga here in the beautiful Isle of Man!
I’m an experienced, passionate and fun-loving yoga teacher, who thrives on introducing people to yoga.
I teach adults and children of all ages and abilities, and I thoroughly enjoy sharing the light of yoga with everyone.
In particular I am passionate about helping women navigate their journey, from pregnancy yoga, through the postnatal recovery period where little ones join in the fun, right through to yoga for menopause which I am excited to offer soon!
My Yoga Journey
I was introduced to yoga over 20 years ago by a fabulous local yoga teacher. Having previously not really enjoyed physical activities and exercise, I quickly realised I had found my thing! During a busy career training young people with the Merchant Navy, I always returned to yoga as both a physical practice, and also to support my mental health, keeping me calm and reducing my anxiety. It was also a practice I was able to take with me when I travelled all over the world.
In 2016 I decided to deepen my yoga knowledge and completed the British Wheel of Yoga introduction course with Sue Wooley which reinforced my love for yoga.
Having been encouraged for many years to complete my yoga teacher training, when I was made redundant in 2018 I took the opportunity and completed my Yoga Alliance 200 hour teacher training with Shine Om Yoga Studio.
Once I started teaching yoga I loved it and knew it was something I wanted to continue as my career. One element of my previous role I did miss was the interaction with young people so I made the decision to complete my childrens yoga teacher training with Children Do Yoga in 2019. I then took the opportunity during lockdown in 2021 to do my Teen Yoga teacher training.
In 2023 I undertook my Pregnancy Yoga teacher training with Amy Jones, and went on to also complete my Postnatal Mum and Baby yoga, and my Parent and Toddler teacher training with Amy as well. I am thrilled to now be able to add these new classes to my timetable.
I hope to see you soon at one of my fun & inclusive yoga sessions,
Clare x
