About

Hi, I’m Clare Hudson, and I’m a yoga and meditation teacher based in Putney, London. I specialise in 1-1 and small group yoga and meditation sessions — tailored for you and your life.

I first tried yoga in 2001, after practising gymnastics for six years. What started as a more physical and fitness orientated practice as a teenager, led me later on to explore yoga on a deeper level and develop a regular meditation practice.

Over the years, I’ve tried a variety of different styles of yoga which include Sivananda, Ashtanga Vinyasa, and more restorative styles of yoga. I’ve also been to India multiple times over the last decade to practise and study yoga in Kerala, a Sivananda yoga ashram in Tamil Nadu and more recently, the holy town of Rishikesh, to complete my  500 hour Yoga Alliance accredited teacher training.

I’m passionate about providing yoga sessions that allow you to find your own journey with yoga where you can explore who you are in the moment without judgment.

Far too often in life, we’re on a constant mission to be somewhere else or we’re striving to reach the next milestone. I certainly relate to this. Yoga, for me is the perfect opportunity to connect back to where you are in this moment, practising kindness and not  judging others or yourself for who you are or how you’re feeling right now.

What else am I interested in?

In addition to yoga, I enjoy writing, I have a degree in Fine Art, and I’m the co-owner along with my Mum, of the Etsy shop, Yoga Spirit Art, where we design and sell yoga and nature inspired art prints.
