As we're heading towards August, we are saying hello to a few new faces and welcome back to regular teachers!

From Sunday the 3rd of August, classes resume every Sunday morning (with the odd events in the afternoon and evening) ✨

So welcome to who is starting a Sunday morning hatha class to stretch the body and soothe the mind. Join her every Sunday, 11am-12pm! ⭐

And welcome back to who is teaching the 9-10.30am Iyengar Yoga class on some Sunday mornings (in rotation with other Iyengar teachers) ⭐

Have a look at our full timetable which is constantly edited with new classes and dates and see you in the studio for a little bit of self care and slowing down ✨

Are you a teacher or a facilitator and would you like a little bit of support? 🫶

We have a few wonderful people at Maitri Studio who can help with that!

Claire Ferry - - runs monthly workshops aimed at teachers, trainees and long term practitioners (not necessarily from the Iyengar tradition!) and her next one is on the 30th of July, 10am-1pm! ✨

Aisling Gurke - - is another senior teacher who comes from Dublin a few times a year to offer her knowledge during longer workshops, her dates for the rest of the year are all on our website! ✨

And finally, our studio manager, has set up a WhatsApp community group for NI based teachers and facilitators through which you can connect with a diverse range of teachers from different traditions, age and background , ask professional questions and share experiences! Message her if you would like to be added - you don't have to be a yoga teacher but might be working in somatic movement, meditation, holistic therapies etc. ✨

Let's keep supporting each other because teaching shouldn't feel lonely! 🫶

Meet the team behind Maitri Studio! 🫶

Claire and Geoff are the founders and directors of Maitri and dare we say, the loveliest people you will ever meet? Whilst you might have seen Claire about in the studio or you might have attended Iyengar Yoga classes with her, Geoff does a lot of remote background work and is the tech brain of the team. A perfect pair to run Maitri diligently and kindly 🫶

Lucie has been studio manager for close to two years and is responsible for most of social media (yes I'm writing this!), as well as general cleanliness, maintenance and running of the studio on a weekly basis. She also teaches regular classes at Maitri and around Belfast and organises intimate music events on her spare time 🫶

Kate is our trusted admin queen, she loves a spreadsheet or two and we couldn't do without her experience and professionalism! Running a yoga studio involves a lot of admin, accounts, invoicing, emailing and she does it all so well. Here is a picture of her on her holibobs, have fun Kate 🫶

If you have some spare time this summer, come visit us! ☀

yes really!
As well as learning more about your favourite sinuous reptile, why not practice , cobra pose?

Many of us spend hours each day hunched over a desk or slumped in a chair, rounding the spine forwards. This is a wonderful pose to wake up the back of the spine and improve flexibility, strength and range of motion in the spine. It can be helpful (when taught by suitably qualified person) for those who suffer from disc issues too.

Claire Ferry Yoga will introduce poses like this in her new beginners series starting next week Wednesday 23rd July. Interested? Check our website or contact us!

National Simplicity Day is celebrated on July 12th each year ✨

It was established to honor the birth of Henry David Thoreau, an American philosopher and writer known for his advocacy of simple living. The day encourages people to disconnect from the complexities of modern life and embrace a more minimalist and mindful approach.

We do this every day at Maitri as you might have noticed that our rooms are quite bare to encourage less distractions and more connections ✨

As much as we believe that we can practice yoga everywhere, we also appreciate having a quiet, clean and empty space to welcome students and facilitate classes and events. We think that our surroundings are important and the energy that a place holds definitely matters.

Do you feel a sense of calm when you step into the studio?
We hope you do! 😊

Rose Campbell offers two Nia, Moving to Heal classes weekly at Maitri!
