Claire Connelly is a certified Yin, Vinyasa, Core and Chair Yoga Instructor and Holistic Wellness Coach. Since early 2017 she has been coaching women to explore the benefits of what slowing down feels like in their bodies. Claire’s passion is to create a deeply nourishing environment where self-compassion, self-acceptance and connection can be cultivated through yoga and wellbeing coaching.
Claire’s gentle inclusive nature enables her to make all her students feel comfortable, and the yoga practice very accessible to everyone.
Claire can be found holding yoga classes in her local community and online. When she’s not teaching yoga she is often minding her grand babies, tending to her veggies and cooking wholesome food in her 50’s style kitchen.
Claire entered perimenopause at the same time of burning out in a demanding business that was taking it’s toll, her husband being given a Parkinson’s diagnosis, her kids leaving home and remembers it feeling way too bloody hard.
In this episode, we dive into:
- Claire’s denial and soul-searching after her husband’s diagnosis, and an honest share about the impact her caring role has taken on on her energy and relationship
- Her journey from selling her graphic design business, downsizing her home, pivoting to yoga and well-being coaching and completely overhauling her lifestyle as a result … including how she gave up smoking after “smoking her way around Italy for her 50th birthday!”
- How she has since learnt to listen to her body’s needs, to rest and restore when she is depleted and how the 50 year old version of herself - burnout, losing weight, not sleeping and so unhappy - would not even believe this life + business was possible
- How becoming embodied and the transition to post menopause has opened up more wisdom and a lot more trust for Claire - good news for all of us in the messy middle that is for sure!
