# Vicara Yoga & Personal Training
Vicara Yoga & Personal Training, based in Chatham, specialises in supporting women navigating midlife through a holistic approach combining strength training, yoga and nutrition guidance. Founded by a 53-year-old practitioner who understands perimenopause and menopause firsthand, the business addresses the genuine challenges women face during this life stage—from hot flushes and brain fog to joint discomfort and energy fluctuations.
The business stands apart by rejecting the punitive fitness culture that dominates the industry. Rather than promoting gruelling workouts or restrictive diets, Vicara emphasises sustainable, enjoyable movement that women can maintain long-term. The owner coaches clients privately in their own homes, eliminating barriers to consistency and creating a comfortable, personalised environment.
Services combine strength training to support bone health and metabolism with calming yoga practices designed to ease stress and maintain flexibility. Nutrition support cuts through conflicting advice to provide practical guidance suited to hormonal changes. The philosophy centres on helping clients step into their "next self"—stronger, more focused and confident—rather than chasing an impossible return to their former selves.
Weekly classes include both Yin Yoga for meditation and stillness, and Vinyasa Yoga for building strength and stamina. All classes accommodate varying experience levels. By integrating movement, breathwork and nutritional awareness, Vicara empowers women to reclaim control over their bodies and minds during midlife transitions, transforming what can feel unsettling into an opportunity for genuine wellbeing.
