Welcome to Hummingbird Yoga

Hello and welcome! I’m Clare and I’m the owner and founder of Hummingbird Yoga. I am passionate about teaching yoga to people of all ages from bumps, mums & little ones, children, teens and adults on the beautiful Isle of Man and I’m excited to share this journey with you.

My journey with yoga started over 20 years ago with 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 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. 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 teacher training. Once I started teaching yoga I loved it and knew it was something I wanted to continue as my career so I then went on to complete additional teacher training in a number of different areas.

To tell you a little bit about myself outside of yoga, I love spending time with my husband Simon and our cocker spaniel Ziggy, together we like long walks in the beautiful Manx countryside and Ziggy is especially fond of the rivers! I also love sea swimming, having done some Wim Hof training last year I have learnt to embrace cold water although I do love a sauna afterwards if I can! I love to travel and we have been lucky enough to visit many places all around the world, I have also had the opportunity to do yoga in lots of these places as well!

Another thing about me to know is that I have a keen interest in astrology and the planets. I am an Aquarius and as such I chose today, Tuesday 19th November 2024, to launch my website www.hummingbirdyoga.im, as it is the day Pluto makes its permanent transition into Aquarius for the next 19 years, meaning the new age of Aquarius begins. This age should bring about peace, harmony, equality and thoughtfulness, all of which play an important part in our yoga practice.

My teaching style is focused on creating a welcoming, inclusive environment that is suitable for both beginners and those with an established practice. I offer classes in Hatha, Yin, Children’s, Teens, Pregnancy, Postnatal Mum & Baby and Parent & Toddler yoga and love to incorporate breath work, movement and relaxation into all of my classes.

I would love to have you join me for a class…

Please note the Pregnancy, Yin and Childrens 4-7 years classes are currently full but please contact me to join the waitlist.

We have a mini festive retreat coming up on Sunday November 24th, this is already full but if you would like to join a waitlist or are interested in future events please get in touch.

I am also thrilled to be working with the Comis Hotel to offer yoga retreats at Comis Spa, with the next date coming up in January 2025. If you are interested please contact the Comis Spa directly.

Namaste, Clare
