In just 5 weeks, I'll be closing the doors of the studio & passing the keys on for the last time. It's been an amazing 6 years & I'm truly blessed to have such wonderful clients!

As I close one door, I open another to a brand new business, operating between Ireland and Galicia, Spain.

Esta Vida - meaning "this life" will offer guided Camino walks & refreshing chilled out retreats (a bit of Pilates, Yoga, Hiking, Hot Thermal Springs, beautiful Spanish towns & great food and wine) - if you would like to keep in touch & follow the journey - please do like & follow the page below I'd love to have you onboard

Following up on yesterday's post, I would like to introduce the new team of teachers who will be helping Elizabeth run the studio. More information & bookings links for their classes (September/October) will be available next week - watch this space!

Firstly Siobhan
- "I’m a qualified Pilates teacher, Critical Care Nurse, PT, breathwork facilitator, and Co-Founder of Abode Wellness.

My love for health and fitness began from a young age, growing up playing GAA, which shaped my passion for movement and well-being.

My classes combine strength, mindfulness, and community—creating a supportive space for both physical and mental connection.

To me, Pilates is the link between strength & stability, but also between movement and presence.

I’m here to guide you through movement that feels good in your body and helps you build confidence & strength from the inside out.

Looking forward to seeing you all on the Mat."

And Suzie
"My name is Suzie Kilcommons, and I am delighted to be joining Liz as she continues to develop her business. I currently work part-time as a Special Needs Assistant in a local school as well as running my own business, Soul Balance: Yoga and Mindfulness for Everyone. I work with all ages and abilities and believe "if you can breathe, you can do yoga".
I have a Diploma in Teaching Mindfulness, Meditation, and Positive Psychology and am a 300-hour qualified, registered yoga teacher.
My decision to train as a yoga teacher came from the huge benefits I found to my personal wellbeing from the practice of yoga.
My classes are about slowing down, turning inwards, and connecting to our body's needs. These classes of mindful movement are designed to still our minds, calm our bodies and enhance our overall wellbeing.
I have a passion for learning and love sharing techniques that enable you to meet and look after your own wellbeing.
Namaste, Suzie."

Again, I'm delighted to be leaving the studio in such good hands!

Exciting News from The Workshop Castlerea
We’re starting a brand new chapter!
From Tuesday, 16th September, Elizabeth Cummins will be the proud new owner of The Workshop Castlerea. I am beyond delighted to be leaving you all in such capable hands. Here's a little bit about Elizabeth

Introducing Elizabeth Cummins – New Owner of Workshop

Hi everyone! I’m Elizabeth Cummins, though many of you from Castlerea may know me as Lizzie Nolan (yes, from CCS or working in the hub gym many moons ago!). It’s an absolute honor to take over The Workshop from Sheila, who has built an incredible community of loyal, like-minded clients. I’m truly excited to continue her work and bring my own passion into this space.

For those who don’t know me yet, I’m the owner of Enhanced Motion Injury & Wellness Clinic in Ballaghaderreen, where I work as a Neuromuscular Therapist (NMT), Pilates Instructor, Personal Trainer, Integrated Energy Therapy (IET) practitioner, and Qi Gong Instructor. I have a deep passion for movement, the mind-body connection, and making sure we enjoy the craic while we move!

As a busy mother of three, I fully understand the demands of life and how hard it can be to find that work-life balance. My goal is to meet you exactly where you’re at—physically, mentally, and energetically. Whether you’re looking for a gentle stretch, to build strength, or simply to take time for yourself, you’ll be welcomed and supported here.

I’m passionate about building a community of people who are proactive in living longer, stronger, and who are ready to prioritise their own health and well-being.

From gentle Pilates, Yoga, and Circuits to the mindful practice of Qi Gong, my focus is on creating classes that support you in moving better, feeling stronger, and improving your quality of life—at a pace that suits you. Whether you're new to exercise, returning after a break, or simply looking for a welcoming space to prioritise your well-being, you’ll be met with understanding, encouragement, and plenty of laughs along the way.

Of course, I’m only one woman, and to achieve these goals, I am lucky to have the support of two amazing instructors, each bringing their own unique skills, experience, and energy to the team. Together, we’re here to guide, support, and help you feel your very best.

Thank you for trusting in me and the team. I can’t wait to meet you all and get moving together.

See you in class soon!

Elizabeth & her team's classes for September/October will be available to book from next week!
