NoeleenTyrrell Yoga Hi, I’m Noeleen, a certified Anusara Yoga teacher, trainer, therapist, and coach.

🌟 Don't miss out on my upcoming events! tinyurl.com/noeleentyrrell

I’m honoured to be the founder of Ard Nahoo Yoga School in Ireland, where I’m devoted to yoga education and supporting the growth of my students. With over 30 years of experience in yoga and natural health, I’ve been fortunate to train in the US, UK, Europe, and Ireland. I’m a Certified Yoga Therapist with IAYT and also hold certifications in massage and craniosacral therapy. My teaching style is

intuitive, helping students experience meaningful transformations and health benefits. I’ve had the privilege of training many wonderful yoga teachers and, as a coach, I aim to assist others in finding their own paths and wisdom. My journey with yoga began in Rush, Co. Dublin, but it was in San Francisco that I truly fell in love with the practice. Yoga has been a grounding force for me, aiding in various life challenges like back problems, home births, and managing a busy clinic and studio. I initially practised Iyengar Yoga, but discovering Anusara Yoga in 2010 was a turning point that profoundly shaped my practice and teaching. I’m deeply grateful to all my teachers and continue to learn and grow. In 2001, I founded Ard Nahoo Eco Retreat in County Leitrim, which received global recognition as one of the top retreats. In 2022, I decided to move on from the eco retreat, and now Ard Nahoo Yoga School travels with me, offering retreats, workshops, and trainings both locally and internationally.

Meditation is often left to the side in modern yoga. Something we mean to return to, but rarely give proper time to.

And yet, it is the part of the practice that steadies everything else.

Awakening the Heart is an online course that brings the focus back to this centre. A space to develop a clear, consistent meditation practice and to understand how to guide it with structure and confidence.

This is not about adding more. It is about refining what is essential. Learning how to sit, how to observe, and how to remain present with greater steadiness.

For teachers, it offers a way to bring meditation into your classes in a way that is grounded and accessible. For practitioners, it is an opportunity to deepen your own experience in a meaningful way.

This is a return to the core of yoga. Quiet, direct, and transformative over time.

If this is something you have been meaning to explore more fully, you are welcome to join.

After more than 25 years of teaching, a few things have become very clear.

Abhyasa - Consistency/Repetition matters more than intensity.

Jnana - Understanding matters more than performance.

Vairagya - Knowing when to back off - deeper is not always better.

Developing an Intelligent approach that may slow things down but take you much further in the long run.

Over time, I have seen that people don’t struggle because they are not capable. They struggle because they have not been shown how to work with their body in a way that makes sense.

They’ve never been taught the ‘why’ behind the how’.

When that begins to change, everything else follows. The practice becomes more personal, more interesting.

I’m seeing this happen now with the current cohort of Immersion students (who are absolutely fabulous).

I’m watching the alchemy of study, theory, practice and community alive in each individual and in the group as a whole.

Yoga stops being something you’re instructed to do and becomes something that organically arises from within the mind-heart.

This is the kind of work that underpins all of my classes and trainings.

If you are looking to build a practice that is steady and sustainable, educational and fun, you are very welcome to join.

Meditation is not an optional extra in yoga. It is the centre that everything else returns to.

This online course is a call to come back to that centre. Not as an idea, but as a lived and steady practice.

Rooted in the wisdom traditions of yoga, this training offers a clear and practical approach to meditation. You will deepen your own practice while also learning how to guide others with structure, clarity and confidence.

We work with foundational techniques, simple teaching frameworks, and ways to integrate meditation into classes so that it becomes a natural and consistent part of practice.

This journey combines personal growth with teaching excellence.

Resilience is often misunderstood as the ability to keep going no matter what.

In practice, it looks different. It is the capacity to stay steady when things feel uncertain, to remain present without becoming overwhelmed, and to respond with clarity rather than reactivity.

This is where yoga becomes a practical tool. Not as an escape, but as a way of working with what is actually happening.

Through movement, breath, and attention, you begin to regulate your system. You learn how to stay with experience without being pulled too far in any one direction. Over time, this creates a different kind of stability.

It is not dramatic. It is built gradually, through consistent practice.
This is the kind of work we explore across classes, workshops and retreats.

If you would like to experience it for yourself, you are welcome to join.

Patañjali defines yoga as:

Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations of the mind. (Yoga Sutra 1.2)

When the noise begins to settle, something important becomes clearer.

We start to recognise that the source of our experience isn’t outside us — it arises from the light of our own consciousness, and ultimately from the light of Universal Consciousness itself.

Meditation is the invitation to move inward towards that light.

And like any path, the more often we walk it, the more familiar the territory becomes.

Over time we begin to build a relationship with something deeper than the thinking mind — what yoga calls the Self. That connection changes everything:

our relationship with the inner critic
our clarity as teachers
our steadiness in relationships
our starting point as human beings

Even the non-dual ta***ic understanding of Oneness begins to make sense in an embodied way — not just as philosophy, but as lived experience.

Meditation is simple.

But it isn’t always easy.

If you’d like to strengthen your meditation practice, start small:

Set a timer for 5 minutes
Sit at the beginning or end of your practice
Do that every day for a week

Then try 10 minutes the following week.

Gradually build towards 20 minutes — once a day, or even better, twice a day.

Like all practice, consistency matters more than duration.

And for yoga teachers especially, meditation changes the way we teach. It gives us somewhere real to speak from. It brings clarity, steadiness, and depth into the room — often without us needing to say very much at all.

If you’d like to support building your own meditation practice and learning how to include meditation more confidently in your classes, my online training Awakening the Heart – Meditation Teacher Training begins in May.

It’s designed for yoga teachers, trainees, and committed practitioners who want to deepen their understanding of meditation and learn how to share it naturally within their teaching.

You’d be very welcome to join us.

Teaching Insight from the Simply Greece Retreat (for yoga teachers)
I’ve led well over a hundred retreats over the past 25 years, and every time I do, I learn something new — or I see something familiar from a slightly different angle.

One of the real responsibilities of leading a retreat is working with the wide range of expectations people arrive with.

On our recent Simply Greece retreat, we had two women in their 70s (one of them 79 and both absolutely remarkable), some participants who mainly practice yoga when they come on retreat, and three Anusara Yoga teachers who were there for inspiration and depth.

This is the reality of retreat teaching — and very often class teaching too.

When we accept students onto retreat, we are agreeing to teach the group that is actually in front of us, not the group we imagined when we were planning the week.

That takes skill.
But mostly it takes presence.

It also asks us to sit steadily in the seat of the teacher.

And something that is sometimes forgotten in modern yoga culture is that studentship matters too.

In the tradition of yoga we speak about adhikāra — readiness and responsibility in the student. Teaching is a shared path. There is discipline on both sides of the relationship.

As teachers:

we set the parameters of practice
we hold the container
we observe discipline ourselves and we teach discipline — what yoga calls tapas

Our role is not just to instruct, but to teach. And sometimes that means not being swayed by the subtle social pressure to make everything easy or comfortable all the time.

A simple example from the week:

On the first morning I realised I had forgotten to introduce one of my favourite retreat practices — arriving into the yoga room in silence before class.

After that first lively morning (!), I explained how we would do things going forward:

come in quietly
sit or lie down
allow the space to settle before practice begins

Silence creates a different quality of attention in the room. It helps establish a shared sacred practice space rather than a social space.

For some people this felt unfamiliar at first. That’s completely natural.

Part of our role as teachers is not to remove every moment of discomfort, but to help students understand why something is being asked of them.

When students understand the intention behind a structure, they engage more deeply. The practice becomes clearer. The learning becomes their own.

Holding that line — with clarity and warmth — is part of the work of teaching.

And retreat teaching gives us a beautiful opportunity to practice exactly that.

Bring on the next retreat! TBA next week.

Meditation is not an optional extra in yoga. It is the steady centre.

In a time when attention is constantly pulled outward and teaching can become overly focused on physical practice, meditation brings us back to what is essential. Presence. Clarity. And the ability to stay open without becoming overwhelmed.

This online immersion is a return to the living core of yoga. Not as theory, but as a lived and embodied practice. Together we explore meditation in a way that is practical, structured, and directly applicable to both personal practice and teaching.

We look at how to establish a consistent meditation practice, how to deepen your own experience, and how to guide others with clarity and confidence. Simple frameworks and clear language support you in bringing meditation into your classes in a way that feels natural and grounded.

This is for yoga teachers, trainees, and dedicated practitioners who want to deepen their own practice and learn how to share meditation in a meaningful way.

The Align and Awaken workshops return this April in Cavan.

These weekend workshops at Align Yoga Studio offer a space to build a strong and intelligent practice that is both educational and inspiring.

As part of the 100 Hour Anusara Yoga Immersion, there is time and space to slow down and explore why we do what we do in practice. This deeper enquiry changes the way you understand movement and supports your practice beyond the studio.

Anusara Yoga is rooted in embodied philosophy. It is structured, thoughtful, and at the same time very accessible in its experience. Over time, it becomes less about following instruction and more about understanding from within.

This is for those who want to engage more fully, refine their practice, and develop greater steadiness and clarity in how they move.

The workshops take place on 25th to 26th April, 11am to 1pm.

You can join for a single day, the full weekend, or as part of the wider immersion.

Not suitable for absolute beginners.

Ground and Grow begins tomorrow.

This class has been part of my teaching week for a long time now, and it continues to be a space where people come to work steadily and consistently with their practice. It is always good to see it begin again.

It is a dynamic and progressive class. One where you are invited to move with awareness and to understand what you are doing, rather than simply following along.

Using the Universal Principles of Alignment, the practice becomes something that supports you not only physically, but in how you relate to yourself more broadly. There is a sense of being more grounded, more connected, and more able to meet what is in front of you.

This is not a beginner’s class, but it is a space for those who are ready to explore their practice in a more engaged and thoughtful way.

The term begins tomorrow and runs for 7 weeks. Drop ins are also welcome.

Yoga for Wellness begins on 23rd April.
Learn to work with your body in a way that is steady, clear and supportive.

Over time, you begin to build strength, improve mobility, and develop a more grounded relationship with your body and breath.

It is suitable for a wide range of people. Those returning to practice, those who feel out of rhythm, or those who simply want to feel better in themselves.

With the start date approaching, it is a good time to commit and give yourself something consistent to work with over the coming weeks.

Ground and Grow begins again next week.

This is a long standing class and a space where people come to work steadily and consistently with their practice. It is progressive and dynamic, and over time it builds both strength and understanding.

Using the Universal Principles of Alignment, you begin to feel how the practice supports you not only physically, but in how you meet yourself more broadly. There is a growing sense of stability, clarity and connection.

This is not a beginner’s class. It is for those who are ready to engage a little more deeply and work in a more focused way.

Places are filling, and with the term starting soon, this is a good time to commit.
