🎙 We teach you about yoga.
Our studio is a community focused yoga space where people can come to learn, connect, explore and experience the many benefits Yoga has to offer. We host weekly classes, workshops, student and teacher trainings and experiences. We also have a small shop and a library. The kettle is always on and there is always a smile to welcome you at the door! Unlike other studios we are run and operated by the teachers. This allows for the student to be at the forefront of the experience, for each teacher to earn a decent wage from sharing their gifts and for the profits to be fairly distributed. Yoga means union, to come together, and so we feel this is the way most in keeping with the yogic philosophy and ethos. Many places teach yoga classes. Hence the word School in the name. If you want to do yoga, come join us. If you want to learn about yoga, come join us. If you want to do both, come join us! We go to great lengths to ensure the energy is protected and nurtured. It is a living space after all. Filled with air purifying plants, featuring a beautiful alter and burning only 100% natural incense you can breathe deep, and breathe clean. The space is cleaned physically and energetically on a regular basis. The energy in the studio has to be experienced to be believed. Fully stocked with an abundance of props we will have you fully supported and sinking into relaxation. The studio was founded by Jeanie Jyanti and the name originated from her understanding of the yoga practice as a holistic and magical process to transform your entire being. As a Chemist by academic training the word Alchemy just made sense. Environmental Statement:
To have the minimum, negative impact possible on the environment in all that we do
To inspire and educate all that visit the space to have the minimum, negative impact on the environment. How?:
– All utilities are supplied by 100% renewable sources.
– The walls are painted with 0% VOC vegetable-based paints, (almost!) safe enough to eat.
– We use only bamboo toilet roll – it even comes in biodegradable wrapping!
– There are ZERO single-use plastics in the studio
– We use packaging free soap
– The props are washed in biodegradable, eco-friendly detergents.
– The mats are cleaned with lemon oil, a natural disinfectant. Our Mission Statement:
Create a safe and open space to encourage self exploration
To provide affordable, authentic and quality yoga classes for a range of demographics
To educate and inspire people on yoga
To build a supportive, inclusive and inspiring community through all that we do
Create a place for the yoga community of Cork to use so they can continue to share their gifts

🧘🏽♀️ Do you treat your Yoga Practice as a choice or a chore?
👌🏽 One thing that has fundamentally changed my life for the better is my self practice. And so I regularly educate, encourage, and motivate my students to have their own.
💪🏽 But I noticed that when we treat it like a chore, the benefits just aren't there. And neither is the motivation.
🪷 But when we treat it like a choice, now that's a different story! We show up with so much more joy, love, and devotion for ourselves and the practice of Yoga. It's a very different energy.
💫 The beauty of Yoga is that it helps build discernment. And so it helps us make better choices for ourselves.
🌀 So know that choosing to practice Yoga, will help you choose to practice Yoga even more!
🙏🏽 This is not another thing to feel guilty about or pack into an already full day. This is something you do for you, to come back to your truest self, so you can then show up for others as a better human in your community.
🤔 How do you treat your self practice? I'd love to know in the comments. 👇🏽
🤔🧘🏽♀️ Things you should know about me as a Yoga Teacher.
👀 What do you look for in a teacher?
Would you practice Yoga with me?
I'd love to know in the comments 👇🏽
1. You'll very rarely see me posting Asana pics. What I teach and share is so much more! There will always be movement though!🤸🏿♀️
2. I'm usually in baggy clothes. And I'm mainly wearing these trousers at the moment. Perfect for Yoga. 👖
3. I've a BSc Hons in Chemistry and Maths. I love understanding how atoms make up the building blocks of life. It's a teeny, tiny Universe. And the more I study it, the more spiritual I become 🙏🏽
4. Im 100% Irish! My family have barely left the South West of Ireland for generations! I love exploring, but this is my home ☘️
5. I do eat meat and drink alcohol when I feel I want to. For years, I was rigid and strict with these things, and it was not good for me! 🍸
6. I'm a "diabhal." It's an Irish word pronounced divil and means someone who is mischievous, fun seeking, and a bit of a rascal. 👹
7. I don't practice Yoga Asana (postures) every day. I have for periods of time but not always. I do live yogically, which is far more of a commitment and has taught me a LOT more. 🌄
8. I'm a peaceful person until there is an injustice taking place. And then my fire emerges, and I'll be shouting! 🤬
Yoga Teachers are humans too!

🤔 Does your teacher have a teacher?
⚠️ And if not are the teachings just being diluted and side tracked?
🙏🏽 Do you deeply respect, connect to and honour the person you're trusting with your time, money and potentially influencing your future?
🪷 A Yoga Teacher Training isn't something to be ticked off the list. It's something to be invested in, researched, and devoted to.
😢 Time and time again, I get messages from people saying, "My 200hr was terrible. I want to do another one" or " I've done a 200hr, but I don't know how to teach."
👌🏽 So if you're even thinking about doing a training, have a really good tune into your reasons why, is it the right one for you, is the teacher right for you and is it the right time?
🤗 Becuase not everyone running a training has your best interests at heart and they may not even be that invested in yoga themselves!
✨️ Not all trainings are created equally.
🤔 What do you think? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below. 👇🏽

🤔 What is the difference between Yin and Restorative Yoga? I get asked this question a LOT!
😊 I say they are the same but completely opposite!
👀 From the outside looking in, they might, at times, appear similar.
😌 But internally, there is a world of difference going on. And that, when guided well by a teacher who understands these differences, is what makes these practices so amazing.
🙃 They are 2 of the most nuanced and advanced practices to teach. But when done well, with inclusivity, accessibility and deep understanding, they can be so powerful.
👨🏫 If you'd like to learn more about the differences and similarities, then we have just 4 spots remaining on our upcoming ✨️ 100hr Yin + Restorative YTT in India this October! ✨️ Guided by @ and myself.
💖 Will you join us?

Would you like to join us?
👍🏽👍🏽
Here's why we feel you should:
🙏🏽 We love sharing authentic Yoga, from the source, direct to you. Whether it's a Yoga Teacher Training or a Retreat, we will help you truly experience Yoga and have so much fun doing it.
🎓 We love what we do, and we love sharing our passion and deep awe for the power of Yoga with you. We regularly get comments from students saying they have fallen back in love with Yoga once they experienced true Yoga on these courses and retreats.
🛌 Most of our experiences are residential, and so it's a deep immersion into Yogic Lifestyle. Once you truly experience Yoga, you can then learn to teach it. Having your food and accommodation tended to, with deep nourishment provided by , all you have to do is be there and enjoy the practices and the theory. It's often referred to as a retreat and a training in one.
😂 We really value play and joy. Yoga can be so serious sometimes. Yes, we deeply honour and respect these teachings, where they've come from and how deeply healing they can be. But we also celebrate life, share in the joy of living and loving,and want to share that with you too!
🏳️🌈+👩🦼 💶 We are dedicated to inclusivity, diversity and access for all to Yoga spaces. Everyone is welcome. And we don't just say that. We do something about it, too. We offer payment plans and scholarships. We respect people's autonomy and choice regarding their identity, sexuality, religion, beliefs a,d status. We are passionate about allowing everyone access to these spaces. Not just a privileged few.
❓️We provide support and guidance long after the experience is finished. Our graduates and guests don't just finish an, we're gone. We have many community spaces where they can ask questions, seek advice, clarify things and,get support. This can be a lonely journey at times but we focus on community.
💖 We are open to any questions, comments, concerns or enquiries about any of these. No matter how small a question. DM us,and we'll get back to you when we can. It really should be the right choice for us all. We love to chat!
✨️ That's right! We are now taking applications for scholarships to our 30hr Pranayama + Yogic Anatomy - more than breathwork YTT in the stunning .ie in Strandhill, Sligo. ✨️
👩🏫 This training is all the things about Yoga that you should have learned on your 200hr, but didn't!

💖 Will you join us?
📚 Closing date for applications is 26th June and the link to apply, as well as more details, is in my Bio.

😵💫 Are you anxious? Or does your body just think you are?
🧠 We now know that so much information goes from our body to our brain and not just the other way around.
☕️ So if youe body is detecting things like elevated heart rate from caffeine, or sluggish digestion from eating too fast or sitting a lot, then it will tell the brain you're anxious.
❓️Does that help explain your anxiety especially if you feel theres no need to be anxious?
☺️ So what can you do? You could try reducing caffeine (do this slowly), move more and breath better!
🤔 What do you think? Is there anything else that helps you? I'd love to know in the comments below 👇🏽

💚 Last March, as I walked towards my room in the ashram, I saw I had a new neighbour. Sitting outside his room was James. A warm and friendly soul who I felt instantly at home with.
🤗 And so I am thrilled to welcome him to Cork for an evening of devotional mantra, sound, connection, community and peace. Thursday 12th June, 8-9.30pm in Ganesha Yoga, Douglas.
🪷 I'm excited for you to experience his sweet nature, beautiful voice and expansive heart.
🎹 What's Kirtan? It's a wonderful, devotional mantra and chanting evening. There is no experience necessary. Just an open heart and mind. You can participate as much or as little as you like and you certainly don't need to be able to sing to come along.
💖 This heart-opening practice is a beautiful way to still the mind, connect to yourself and others, as well as explore a form of Yoga off the mat. No yoga clothes are required. Just whatever you are comfortable in.
🧘🏽♀️ James will be visiting us from London. He has been teaching Yoga and guiding Kirtans for many years. And we are delighted to have him share his wisdom and voice with us.
🔗 Booking required. All details in the !ink in my Bi0. Any questions, DM me.

🧘🏽♀️108 for Palestine 🇵🇸
📣 A call to action.
🕊 Will you join us to gather in peace and solidarity with those in Palestine. We will move, breathe, challenge ourselves and most of all take action to prevent this senseless genocide.
🗓 Sunday 8th June 10am - 1pm, Lee Fields, Cork City. Sign up link in bio
🙏🏽 This is considered the “marathon” of the yoga world in that it takes focus, intention, stamina and determination.
👍🏽 What to expect: 108 Sun Salutations - you're welcome to do all or part, moving freely or in a chair, resting when needed. We will have informative speakers, information stands, petitions, boycott information, and refreshments available. The full 108 will take approx 2.5 hrs, you're welcome for some or all. Come and share space and energy with your fellow Cork Yogis, connect with others calling for change. Take action.
🪷 Why? Funds and aid are not getting through. We need action, not money. So why this practice? 108 is a sacred number in Yogic and Spiritual philosophy. Sun Salutations are a way to energize the body, clear the mind, and connect with a higher purpose, particularly during times of transition. So it’s a perfect practice to do when we are looking to bring about change.
1️⃣0️⃣8️⃣ represents wholeness, infinity, and the relationship between the sun, moon, and the earth. The practice can be infused with intention and purpose, like making a positive impact for peace in the world, especially in Palestine.
🇮🇪 This is part of a nationwide movement from Irish Yogis to call for an end to this Genocide. They will also take place in:
