I had been a yoga student for many years, and having discovered its benefit’s I was eager to deepen my practice and knowledge and train as a yoga teacher. I trained at The Ard Nahoo yoga school in 2012. I continue to update my training and deepen my own yoga practice I teach Hatha yoga, drawing inspiration from both Iyengar (focus on alignment) Anusara (meaning flowing with grace), and Vinyasa (flowing movement).
I love how yoga can have a positive effect on the entire person regardless of where you are in your life and health at any point in time. All you have to do is show up on the mat and let it happen! My classes are enjoyable, nurturing and uplifting. The focus is on bringing the body into good alignment while connecting with the breath, to relieve pain and discomfort and allow the energy to move freely in the body, bringing lightness, balance and ease to mind, body and soul.
A particular passion of mine is yoga as a way to release stress and trauma from the body. Yoga can do this in many ways. Yin, restorative and yoga nidra are particularly powerful practices for this. Anyone who has been to a workshop or retreat with me will have had a generous helping of these practices, and from time to time we bring them into our weekly classes, particularly in the darker months of the year.
Yoga is for everyone, no matter what you size, shape, level of fitness, there is something you can do to start working towards feeling more at home and good in your body.
I have also done further specialized training in Yoga for Pregnancy with Yoga Therapy Ireland. This enables me to safely guide women through a Yoga practice during this very precious time in their life.
I look forward to welcoming you to class.
Namaste. Fiona.
