Rane and Jo welcome Claire Holloway back for her second appearance on the Flow Artist Podcast, where she shares her evolving journey as a yoga teacher and activist in Perth, Western Australia.
Since her last visit, Claire has expanded her focus to include perinatal care, home birthing support, and community-based yoga programs. One of her notable achievements has been securing a local council grant to provide subsidised postpartum yoga, making her services more accessible to those who need them most.
The conversation takes a powerful turn when Claire discusses her recent activism work, particularly her involvement in organising "Mothering During a Genocide," an event that amplified Palestinian and Indigenous voices. Her approach to activism is deeply intertwined with her role as a mother, viewing it as a nurturing, long-term commitment to social justice. As she puts it, "Start with a willingness to learn" - a philosophy that guides both her teaching and activism.
The episode also delves into some sobering realities about birthing rights in Australia, with Claire sharing that "one in three people who birth in Australia are experiencing birth trauma." Her work in the home birth community and advocacy for birthing rights demonstrates her commitment to addressing these systemic issues. Throughout the conversation, Claire maintains a balance between acknowledging the gravity of social justice issues while offering hope and practical steps for creating change, emphasising that meaningful impact often starts with small, consistent actions rather than grand gestures.
