I'm Clare Gent - a yoga teacher, a mum, an expat living here in Spain, and yes, a total nut butter addict… shhh!
Like many high-achieving women, I spent years trapped in the relentless cycle of doing more, achieving more, and constantly pushing through exhaustion. My alarm was always set for 6 AM, and no matter how drained I felt, I’d force myself through a high-intensity workout. Slowing down wasn’t an option. I genuinely believed that rest was a sign of weakness, and productivity was the only true measure of my worth.
Eventually, the pressure became too much, and burnout hit me hard. My mind was always racing, my body felt perpetually overstimulated, and I felt utterly disconnected from myself, from what truly mattered. That’s when yoga started to shift from something I did reluctantly to something I desperately needed. At first, it was just an hour of precious escape time to breathe, to pause, to simply feel. But over time, it became a powerful way of life. Yoga taught me that I didn’t have to keep running, that I didn’t have to believe that relentless inner voice telling me I wasn’t enough. It finally gave me the space to just be.
After practising for over seven years, I finally took the plunge into yoga teacher training, focusing on hatha, vinyasa, and yin. My mission became crystal clear: to guide other women, especially high-achieving mums, who feel stuck in the very same cycle I was in, showing them there’s another way to live - one where ambition and inner peace can beautifully coexist.
Fast forward to today: I’ve been teaching on and off for four years, moved from London to Barcelona and then to the stunning Pyrenees. Then came the ultimate adventure - becoming a mum. Navigating new motherhood as an expat in a foreign country, often isolated while my partner travelled for work, brought a whole new level of chaos and challenge, including battling undiagnosed postnatal depression. Through all of this, through every demanding phase and unexpected turn, yoga has been my unwavering anchor.
Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to teach in the Philippines, a truly life-changing experience that deepened my appreciation for yoga’s profound ability to bring people together, no matter their background or circumstances. This journey has only reinforced my passion for sharing embodied vinyasa and yin yoga - helping people, especially busy mums, shift out of their racing minds and into their bodies, to rediscover the quiet beauty of simply being present in their own lives.
No matter where you are in your journey as a mum and a woman, my goal is to support you in the best way possible. I'm here to help you reconnect with yourself, reclaim your energy, and find genuine balance amidst the beautiful, often overwhelming, noise of your life.
When I’m not on the mat, you can find me:
Hiking up a mountain, catching up with my fellow mum community, and soaking up quality family time.
Some simple pleasures of mine:
Hanging upside down in my aerial silks class, cooking for my loved ones, and getting lost in a good book.
My happy place:
Jumping in the van, driving up the mountains for an incredible view, lighting the fire, and cuddling up with friends and family.
