My story
I’ve always visited YOGA classes from a young age and always aware of its magic.
But never fully committed to the practice until about 7 years ago in the form of ASTANGA.
Practising this particular style fuelled my passion and hunger for YOGA as it cured my spine, hips neck and shoulders from an injury and tremendous pain along with the bonus of a stronger fitter body and mental clarity.
But never fully committed to the practice until about 7 years ago in the form of ASTANGA.
Practising this particular style fuelled my passion and hunger for YOGA as it cured my spine, hips neck and shoulders from an injury and tremendous pain along with the bonus of a stronger fitter body and mental clarity.
It was five years ago I went to train in northern India at an Ashram(a spiritual school)one of India’s oldest Ashrams
that accepted western students and where the certification is the only one
approved of by the Indian Government, and connected to YOGA ALLIANCE.
What I discovered was not only real life flexibility,
core stabilization but tools to learn how to follow your own wisdom,
intuition and heart. YOGA is right in line with how your body was designed to move and operate. In the western gym world, strength, flexibility, cardiovascular training is separated into components, where as YOGA combines all these components and relaxation via breath work and meditation.
So, essentially you move through your day with more ease, power, agility and grace.You may be pushed to new threshold of physical and mental power but the rewards are tremendous.
In this age of over prescribed medications for depression, quick fix diets, excessive living,
YOGA is the answer as it brings balance into the system from the very first practice,
it is a coping tool for life. Now highly acknowledged and recommended by the medical world. Along with the plague of MUSCULOSKELETAL disorders (MSD), lower back pain, YOGA is a remedy for all of these problems.
Since my certification I have returned to India many times each time attending Teacher top up courses, IYENGAR being one from a world renowned teacher to learn technique and Quantum Yoga about its relationship to Quantum physics,I have trained with Pattabi Jois in Mysore in India, Danny Paradise, Anton (the world's most respected Astanga yoga Masters)
so I can pass on a quality teaching to my students and develop a very deep understanding of the practice. Some of my teachers were in their 80’s and even early nineties,
still teaching up to 70 students per day with a vibrant dynamic energy,
a real testament to the power of yoga.I’ve been teaching in Wicklow town for almost 4years, my class was featured on “The Health Squad” RTE 1.Classes are synchronized to inspiring music in an ambient atmosphere a true escape.
Namaste
