Our vinyasa flow class is a mixed level dynamic class that synchronises movement and breath in a continuous flow of asanas (postures) including Sun Salutations. These classes are creative and fun, linking breath and movement together improving strength with flexibility while allowing individuals find alignment that works in their bodies. Classes are taught based on themes with backgrounds rooted in either Traditional Chinese Medicine or around the seasonal cycles of the Celtic wheel or around the Myths & Philosophies of the Ancient Indian principles. Weaving in elements from various styles of yoga and other mixed movement practices these classes focus on strengthening, building stamina, stability and bringing balance to the body & mind. Through this powerful connection of body & mind, these classes can help lower stress levels, promote health, flexibility & strength, and a feeling of well-being.

If you are pregnant, have a medical condition or a recent injury, it can be challenging to do certain types of yoga, specific poses, or breathing techniques so we recommended consulting with your doctor before beginning yoga.

Yin Yoga combines the physical with the mental and is designed to calm a busy mind. It's a meditative practice where you just surrender to stillness and allow your body to soften and be supported by cushions and blankets on the floor, where you consciously let go of the mind chatter and the inner critic. This class is all levels and suitable for complete beginners.

Yin yoga is one of the best practises you can do to improve flexibility & restore range of motion in your joints and it is the style of yoga that helps us to really wind down and tune inwards as we settle into postures for a few minutes at a time.

Holding postures for a few minutes at a time can be surprisingly challenging. It's confronting and it challenges you slow down and to let go. Sometimes it feels boring, sometimes uncomfortable, other times blissful and then....little by little this hour of self care helps you develop flexibility and inner strength leaving you feeling balanced both physically and energetically.

A mindfulness class incorporating gentle movement, breathing techniques and guided meditation to help calm the mind, reduce anxiety and feel more at ease in life. We incorporate a variety of styles and meditation techniques each week using mantra, mudra, gentle movement, poetry, visualisation, yoga nidra and relaxation.

The intention of meditation practices is to develop clarity and to cultivate a quieter and more peaceful state of mind. In addition to helping us find calmness, these meditations also help improve feelings of well-being, happiness, and connection. Meditating is not all about stilling the mind and many people struggle with this concept. This is the biggest reason people think they can never enjoy the benefits of meditation. We will help you overcome this by breaking down these meditations into more manageable segments to help you begin to have a more enjoyable practice.

We arrive for practice in a quiet way and get settled in our seats. There will be time after class to discuss the meditation or to ask questions. Meditation props are provided however you may want to bring a blanket and wear cosy socks. These community classes are *free of charge and will be led by Niamh, Liam and guest teachers. *donations are welcome on the day which will go towards our local Saltmills & St.Kearns Community Group for community projects.

For me, Yoga is a practice of empowerment. My teaching focuses on empowering people to feel into their own bodies, sense into their mind and connect deeply with spirit.

I am an experienced teacher, teaching in studios, community, corporate and privately since 2014. I am a dedicated practitioner, as well extensive training with some of the most established and renowned teachers in the world (Sadhguru, Ana Forrest, Jambo Dragon, Finlay Wilson), I continue to practice and build on thousands of hours of self practice and study.

All of my classes are taught from experience and from the heart. I use intelligent sequencing and mindful focused themes so students can leave a class with something new to think about or something new to feel!
