Meet our Founder

Hello! I’m Clare . . .

I was only 23 when I found yoga and trained as a teacher. I was lucky. I had found my passion and loved it! A few years later in 2006 I found out I was expecting. It was a huge surprise. I needed yoga more than ever to help me cope with all the changes happening in my life and in my body!

I put everything into practice; breathing, movement, relaxations and mindfulness to help me each day. I was using all these techniques to prepare for birth and what was to come. After having my son, I wanted to share these amazing practices to help others and so, when he was only 6 months old, I returned to teaching and LushTums was born!

Nearly 20 years on, you’ll still find me teaching in my favourite studio in the heart of Brighton’s North Laines. Seeing how much my classes were helping people, I decided to train others to share LT far and wide! So far I’ve trained over 100 teachers since 2013 so now you’ll find LushTums classes all over the UK and around the world.

Welcome to ‘other’ Clair!!

Having done so much on my own, in 2019 I welcomed Clair McGill as my business partner. I had trained Clair too, a few years previously, and she was already busy and set up as a LushTums teacher in Bristol. Together we have continued to grow and nurture LushTums to where we are today.

Now pregnant women & new mums can enjoy all our signature practices via our online yoga and birth prep Digital Pack too as we want to make our empowering and much loved LushTums practices, accessible to everyone from anywhere in the world!

We hope to welcome you to a class soon,

Much love,

Clare & Clair
