Yoga with Louise George

Teacher at Douglas Yoga Centre, Cork
Qualified as Yoga Teacher YTTC (Cork) - 2010
Certified Kids Y My classes are suitable for all ages and abilities.

My yoga journey began in England in 1999 when I first attended Ashtanga Yoga classes to supplement a general fitness regime. Having worked for many years as a Counsellor in an Eating Disorders Service I have always had a keen interest in holistic approaches to promoting and enhancing mental and emotional wellbeing. However, it was only after I moved to Ireland with my family in 2007 that I brought

these two interests together and began to explore the immense healing benefits that yoga has on the mind, body, and soul. I was soon hooked, and went on to complete a Yoga Teaching Diploma with the YTTC in Cork. I believe that everyone can benefit from yoga whatever their age or ability. Yoga helps us to cope with daily emotional and physical challenges. It releases tension from the body and mind, and in doing so promotes deep states of relaxation and increased wellbeing. I teach classical Hatha, incorporating breath work and relaxation which I believe maximise the holistic healing that a yoga class can bring. Classes are aimed at building strength and flexibility, increasing body awareness, and relieving the stresses and tensions of everyday life. Timetable for classes @ Douglas Yoga Centre, Cork:

Monday - 8.15pm-9.30pm : Hatha Yoga

Tuesday - 9.45am-11am : Hatha Yoga Mixed Ability

Tuesday -8.15pm-9.30pm : Hatha Yoga Mixed Ability

Thursday - 9.45am-11am : Hatha Yoga Mixed Ability

Thursday - 8.15pm-9.30pm : Hatha Yoga

Saturday - 10.15am-11.30 : Hatha Yoga

One-to-One Sessions: I am available for one-to-one Yoga sessions and have particular interest in Yoga for Anxiety and Yoga for Eating Disorders. Corporate Yoga : Gather a group of at least 8 work colleagues together and I will come to your work place (providing there is enough space) to take you through yoga postures, meditation, breathing techniques and relaxation.

One of my favourite poems and the one I read in my classes last week.

She Let Go
by Safire Rose

I’m on a mission to take charge of my health, and getting to know my fatty acid profile is going to provide me with some valuable insights.

This test is designed to help me understand my body’s metabolic health and the balance between the processes that create inflammation and those that help to manage it.

It’s the balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in our diet that’s one of the main things to significantly impact our body’s inflammatory response. We all eat way too much omega 6 oil (like seed oils and palm oil) and not enough omega 3.

And if inflammation is responsible for all the things that I really don’t want - like heart disease, cancer, diabetes 2 and Alzheimer’s - then I’d much rather know what’s going on in my body than not know!! 😅

Fatty acids are also involved in the synthesis of all of the hormones that regulate functions like blood pressure, blood clotting, and immune function.
So it’s super important to get this balance right!

I’ll let you know when the results are in!

LIPOEDEMA UPDATE:

This past year since my lipoedema diagnosis has been something of a revelation.

I am gradually fitting the pieces of my life and my health struggles together and it’s all starting to make so much sense!

This is a list of the issues I’ve been experiencing over the years that I now know are all lipoedema related in one way or another.

Thank you too to the amazing for helping me put a few more pieces into place 🙏

I’m off next to get my veins checked out with a doppler ultrasound scan by a vascular surgeon.

The journey continues!
I will keep you posted!

A Women’s Day by the Sea – March 8th

I’m hosting a small women’s day in a beautiful space overlooking the sea.

Just 15 women, so it stays intimate and gentle.

The day will include:
- a welcoming circle
- gentle yin movement
- quiet reflection and journaling
- a long break for lunch
- guided visualisation
- deep relaxation
- tea and sweet treats

It’s not therapy and it’s not a yoga workshop.
It’s simply a day to pause, connect, and be human together.

All ages welcome. No experience needed.
Nothing to fix. Nothing to perform.

Saturday March 8th, 10–4.30pm
- cost €80

If you’d like to come, message me or follow the booking link in my bio 🤍

My LIPOEDEMA story…

(I want to keep putting this message out there because I’m watching a vast sea of women beginning to realise this is their story too, and if we want to get help then we have to keep talking!)

I knew there was something not right about my legs from the age of 5, but it was only as a teen that they really started to bother me.

It was the dimpling, the bruising, the blotchy skin, and the heaviness and swelling.

They were too soft.
Not shapely enough.

I was told they were like tree trunks and that my knees rubbed together when I walked 🙈

I was a normal healthy weight but I didn’t see legs like mine on anyone else.

So I hid them constantly and chose outfits carefully. I can even recall wearing jeans to the beach in Ibiza!!

I carried a constant fear of judgement and rejection which slowly ate away at my self esteem and confidence.

I didn’t talk about it (we weren’t a family that ‘did’ feelings) but I read my mums dieting books and pored over all the latest magazines, & their “lose 10lbs in 2 weeks” promises.

I started to learn about calories and how to burn them.

I told myself “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels”. (Yeah, thanks for that Kate Moss.)

I lost some pounds but my legs didn’t change and so I believed that I was just not trying hard enough.

So I tried harder.
In fact I became an expert in weight loss!

I over-exercised compulsively.
And I restricted, eventually to the point of losing myself and becoming anorexic.

And none of it worked - because what I had wasn’t just weight. It was Lipoedema, a chronic condition that returned as soon as my weight improved.

And although I made friends with my body over the years, through my psychotherapy and yoga work, it still floored me when I was diagnosed with lipoedema at the age of 55!

It was amazing to have an explanation but it made me so sad 😢

All that shame, confusion, and pivotal years of my life lost to self-blame…

I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

That’s why I’m speaking up. Because maybe someone out there will read this and realise:

🩷 You’re not lazy.
🩷 Your pain is real.
🩷 You deserve support—not shame.

I’m planning a women’s day.

Small numbers. Hot tea. A walk by the sea. A long lie-down. Some gentle movement. Some quiet reflection. Some chatting…some not chatting.

Not about fixing anything.

Not about becoming a better version of yourself.

Just a day to pause and be in good company.

All ages welcome. No experience needed.

Details soon. But for now I just wanted to put it into the world. 💖

I asked ChatGPT
“Create a caricature of me and my job based on everything you know about me.” …and this is what I got 🤣

What is a mentor?

“A mentor is someone who offers guidance, support, and wisdom to help another person (the mentee) grow — personally, professionally, or both.

Here’s a breakdown of what that can look like:
• Experience-sharer: A mentor has usually walked a similar path before and shares their insights, mistakes, and lessons learned to help the mentee navigate challenges more smoothly.

• Guide (not a boss): Unlike a teacher or manager, a mentor doesn’t direct or evaluate — they support and encourage.

• Sounding board: They listen, ask thoughtful questions, and help the mentee clarify their own goals and decisions.

• Connector: They might introduce the mentee to useful people, resources, or opportunities.

• Cheerleader: They believe in the mentee’s potential and help build confidence.

In short:

A mentor is a trusted ally who helps you see what’s possible and supports you in becoming your best self — through honest conversation, encouragement, and shared experience.

⭐️ Take your health in your hands this winter! 🙌

I’m so delighted to introduce this talk with my fantastic friend (and personal health advisor!) nutritionist & iridologist Tim Browne.

Tim has over 40 years of experience in the field and his knowledge and insight into all things health and nutrition is endless. His talks are quickly becoming quite legendary in our local area as he has such a colourful and entertaining way of explaining things.

Tim is definitely on a mission to improve the health of as many people as he possibly can in as short a time as possible!!

This talk will be an in-person event on Sunday 5th October at Garryduff Sports Centre from 2-4pm (but keep your eyes peeled for an online event in the near future!)

On the day Tim will be discussing the best ways to protect and support your immune system as we move into the winter months.
In particular he will be explaining how your gut microbiome impacts your brain health, hormone health and your immune system in general.

You will come away with lots of solid takeaways from this talk and some very practical solutions to suit your personal health needs. Handouts will be provided and there will be time for questions and answers at the end.

The cost is €20 on the door (but please also let me know via DM if you’re coming)
