Five years today since I first taught yoga in this city! 💫✨💫

Thank you to every person who has supported me in teaching yoga during this time! The best thing I ever did was do my yoga teacher training before moving back to Derry. It has allowed me to connect with so many amazing people who I would have otherwise never met.

At the minute I have a young family so I am only teaching one class a week, which is currently in Echo Echo Dance Studio (first photo). Every week after I teach I really feel like I have filled up my cup, so thank you to all of you ❤️🙏🏼

Over the past five years I have grown to love bringing people together, and thinking of new ways to come together is a pastime of mine 🤣

Today I have been reflecting on all of the events we have done in this time; from the retreats in Donegal to festivals in Glasgow, wellness days and yoga brunches, and countless beach yogas all across Derry and Donegal. I tend to curate events that I would like to attend myself, and love to have a hand in every aspect of them, from the wellness side of things to the cooking, workshops, movement classes and of course, creating the perfect space and environment for you all to relax.

Since first training in Astanga Vinyasa yoga in my 200hr training 5 years ago I have undertaken further studies in pre and post natal yoga, meditation, Celtic wheel embodiment and yin yoga. My style of teaching has evolved, became more relaxed, and reflects elements of all of these trainings. I guess it’s a bit of a blended approach; perhaps not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s ok too!

So many happy memories, adventure, lessons, and friendships. With a few events in the pipeline, I am excited to see what the next five year brings ❤️🙏🏼🫶🏼

Activism begins with a seed of intention, embedded in our breath, words, actions. 🙏🏼Thank you for coming together in solidarity for Gaza on Sunday. Together we raised £600 for ❤️ check out the work they do.

Thank you to for generously providing delicious coffee, tea and pastries…the best as always 🫶🏼🫶🏼

It is so important that we continue to stand in solidarity with eachother for peace for ALL. Witnessing the atrocities of genocide live as they happen has changed us. We can no longer live within the confines of our own comfortable experience of life. I’m so proud of every person using their space here to speak up for Palestine and for Peace

YOGA to UNITE sold out

14th January 10am-12pm

The past two months we have seen the most horrific images we will probably ever see in our lives. The devastation is Gaza is utterly heartbreaking 💔

It can be overwhelming and feel hopeless at times, however witnessing how we can unite through social media in global protest for peace, and to amplify those voices that need it the most feels powerful and hopeful. 💪🏽 Yoga is Union; through our personal practice and as a community. 🫶🏼

I’m offering a grounding yoga practice in January to unite in community, and to raise some money for who are on the ground in Gaza. Please have a look at the work that they do! will be providing batch brews and pastries, and Destined have let the space to us at no cost so every penny will be donated.

This will be a slow movement practice with breathwork and meditation. It is open to everyone. 🫶🏼 Registration will be through a direct message to me to avoid any additional fees. Please send me your email also 😊❤️

Yesterday’s morning sky. What a privilege to be able to look out at stillness, peace.

My heart is broken with what is going on in the world right now, as I am sure yours is too. I’ve had to take a step back from social media/information/world news as it has been so upsetting. I can’t believe my eyes. As I hug my son, I can’t get my head around the loss of one innocent child’s life in the name of power/religion/control/revenge or anything else never mind comprehending the fact that thousands of poor innocent children/people have lost their lives. It is a true living nightmare. I keep thinking about those in Gaza who cannot leave; the sick, elderly, injured, and pregnant women. Those lives lost in yesterday’s attack, and those who live in fear and trauma as bombs are dropped around them and on them. 💔 How could this ever be justified. And for those who have left, how will the world respond to help them? What will become of them? There has been little to no international outrage, refugee schemes, opening of homes etc. It’s so heartbreaking. I will never understand, and I will never understand the world’s response.

Social media is a scary place. We are all fed different things. I read a quote yesterday ‘ if you are desensitised to the loss of an innocent life because they are from a particular side, that is propaganda working’

As the endless terrible news rolls in, I’m feeling pain for every person unable to hug a loved one this morning. And every person living through this hell, with no voice. How can we make our governments hear that we do not support violence in any form whether it is war, state terrorism/terrorism, hate, ‘an eye for an eye’, everything?!

💔💞😢 Every single human life is sacred. Is that not the most simple law to live by?! How can our ‘leaders’ not support this simple fact.

I feel so angry but trying my best to stay educated, hopeful and open. Sharing some posts/pages.

I’m on a mission to turn this baby around! He’s having a nice time with his head up under my rib cage and kicking his wee feet down on my bladder 🙈😂

Plenty of time yet, maybe a few minutes of headstand every day might do the trick!! Any tips most welcome?!!❤️💫
