If you’re stressed, overwhelmed, experiencing persistent physical discomfort, or simply not feeling at ease in your body — you’re in the right place.

My name is Claire Martin Luxton, and I offer simple, gentle, therapeutic practices that help you slow down, breathe again, and reconnect with your body and mind.

Like many of my clients, I once lived life at full speed — working in finance in London and New York, then running my own translation business. Stress was constant, burnout was frequent, and I ignored every warning signal in my body. Yoga and meditation helped me reclaim space, work with my body instead of against it, and move toward a more nourishing way of living.

Now I help others do the same: release stress, ease discomfort, and build a more sustainable relationship with self-care.

My approach draws on Functional and Adaptive Yoga, blending Restorative and Yin practices with mindfulness meditation and anatomical awareness - in a simple, sustainable and supportive way.

It’s all about meeting yourself where you are — with no pressure, performance, or pushing. Just gentle movement, mindful breathing, and space to feel at home in your own skin.

Whether you're new to this way of practising yoga or returning after a break, you're very welcome here.

If you're looking for a more balanced body, calmer mind, or simply a little time to focus on you, private coaching can help. I offer personalised sessions to support flexibility, mobility, back discomfort, anxiety, stress, sleep difficulties and more.

You don’t need any special equipment — just a quiet corner and the willingness to prioritise your wellbeing.

Having someone to guide and support you makes all the difference when it comes to building a sustainable, nourishing practice.

Book a free consultation to explore how I can help you. Sessions are available in-person at my private studio in Amoreira (Óbidos), or online over Zoom.

Feel more like yourself again, one gentle practice at a time.

Enjoy unlimited access to a growing library of over 270 calming, supportive practices designed to ease tension, soothe stress and help you reconnect with your body and breath. You'll find Gentle Flow, Restorative and Yin Yoga, and deeply relaxing guided Mindfulness Meditations — all created with care to nurture your nervous system and bring a sense of calm to your day.

Each week, you'll receive a gentle nudge in your inbox — a thoughtfully curated email with guidance, encouragement and simple practice suggestions to help you feel more grounded, uplifted and supported.

Practise in your own time, in your own space — no need for anything fancy. Just a quiet corner, a few minutes to yourself, and a willingness to pause.

You’ll also be part of a kind-hearted, like-minded community of people who value the peace and flexibility of home practice — just like you.

Acceptance: When The Struggle Becomes Optional

We often carry more tension than the moment truly requires. It's not always the events themselves that weigh us down; it’s the inner struggle against them. We replay what went wrong, anticipate what might go wrong, and try to force outcomes we cannot control. In doing so, we pile stress upon stress, exhausting our energy and fogging up any last remnants of mental clarity.

Acceptance is often misunderstood as passive resignation; as giving up. But what if it were something entirely different?

See if a membership is the right fit for you. Specifically set up for those who enjoy the privacy and comfort of a home practice. There are over 250 supportive practices and tutorials to choose from in the Self-Care Circle, with additional weekly guidance from me. Helping you to ease the stress and tension out of your body and mind.

I currently offer a growing collection of short, free meditations that focus specifically on stress-relief.

This is new since June 2025. I'm trying out the Insight Timer app for a few months, and will continue to record more meditations. So if you have a particular favourite, please review it in the app so that I know what is of benefit to you.
