for Gaza

Today I donated the proceeds of my yoga class - €650 - to the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) which is partnered with the Irish Red Cross.

The company my husband works for matches the amount donated to designated charities. He put the donation through so our yoga class has generated €1300 for Gaza humanitarian relief!
The PRCS is providing lifesaving assistance across Gaza such as food, shelter, women's dignity kits as well as health services & psychological support.

I'd like to thank the wonderful ladies and gent, Jeremy, for supporting my class and enabling this donation

I'm very proud of what we've been able to achieve.

There is still space in the class - we have 5 more classes left.
Wednesdays at 7 pm in Castletownroche Community Centre. I will donate all monies earned.

Message me to join the class or for more information.

Namaste,
Carmel

🌿 Join me for a 7-Week Yoga Class for Gaza Humanitarian Relief 🌿
Lately, as I watch the news and see the unimaginable suffering in Gaza—the loss of life, the injuries, the hunger, the disease, the grief—I’ve felt so powerless. It’s hard to turn away from such overwhelming devastation, but it’s harder to know what to do that might make a difference.
I want to donate more than just money. I want to give some of my time and my energy.
So, for 7 weeks, I’ll be offering a yoga class series in Castletownroche Community Centre. The money earned will be donated to support humanitarian relief efforts on the ground in Gaza. This is my small way of giving back, of channeling that sense of helplessness into something positive and tangible.
By joining the class, you’re not only taking time for your own well-being but also extending a hand to those in desperate need. Every stretch, breath, and moment of peace we share will ripple outwards, helping to fund medical aid, food, and relief for families affected by the crisis.
📅 Class Details:
Dates: Wednesday 23rd Oct. - Wednesday 11 Dec. (no class on the 30th Oct)
Location: Castletownroche Community Centre
Cost: 70 Euro
Time: 7 - 8 pm
All proceeds will be donated to The Red Cross, who are providing life-saving assistance to the people of Gaza.
I’d be honored to have you join me in this effort. Let’s come together as a community, not just to nurture ourselves but to offer support to those who need it most. Every bit of positive energy and action counts.
Sign up today and help make a difference. 🌿

Wishing all the lovely people who practised Yoga with me in 2023 a very healthy, happy & peaceful New Year 🙏 Thank you so much for supporting my class.

I'm hoping to see you back on your mats when classes resume on Wednesday 31st January for more life-enhancing Yoga throughout 2024, filled with breath work, movement and meditation 🧘‍♀️🕉️

Let your first breath of 2024 be a conscious one, slow and deep, as you welcome in the New Year. Start as you mean to continue: mindful, grateful & in the moment🙏

Here's a lovely sentiment I came across recently and thought I'd share! 🙏🧘‍♀️🕉️

May you attract good people with good intentions who help you become your best version. Who celebrate your growth like their own, who protect your name in your absence and make you feel safe with their presence.

Hello all 👋,

From the 11th of October, I'm hoping to start my Improvers' yoga classes in Castletownroche Community Centre, subject to numbers. So if you've done a class with me before and are signing up again, please spread the word! Please see my flyer and share, share, share!! Thank you 🙏

I'm also hoping to run a Beginners' Class in Killavullen Community Centre. I'm looking at Friday morning from 11 -12.10. I've had some queries about a Saturday morning class. The Beginners' Class would be suitable for complete beginners and those who have done yoga before and simply prefer a slower-paced class. Please get in touch if you are interested in this class and indicate whether Friday or Saturday morning would suit you better. If there's enough interest, I'll proceed with the day that suits the majority.

Happy Friday!

Have a wonderful weekend 😁

Namaste 🙏

Why did the chicken cross the road??

Hello!

It's been quite a while since I've posted anything. That's because I've been practicing so much yoga! 😉

My classes are over for the summer. Since October of last year, I've run two Beginners' courses in Killavullen Community Centre, a Beginners' course in Castletownroche Community Centre, followed by three blocks of Improvers' classes.

I'd like to thank the lovely ladies who supported my classes. Some have done multiple blocks of classes with me. I appreciate you choosing to go on this zen, fun and energetic yoga journey with me! 🙏 I have thoroughly enjoyed your company and got so much out of the experience. I hope you've enjoyed it too 💛. We had our last class yesterday. There were some wonderful balancing tree poses and other balancing variations.

I'll be advertising again in August for a Beginners' course in Killavullen and an Improvers' course in Castletownroche, from September. If you'd like to get your name on the list early, feel free to message me now on WhatsApp or Messenger! I'd be delighted to hear from you and to answer any questions you may have.

If you're reading this post and you haven't done yoga before but think you might be interested, feel free to give me a ring or a text for more information.

Here's a nod to the Summer Solstice: At the time of the Summer Solstice, use the sun symbol as a bhavana, or focus, during an entire yoga practice. Throughout the practice keep bringing an image of the sun symbol into your mind's eye. Observe what effect this has on your practice.
A lovely way to show your gratitude to the sun, on this day, is to perform some beautiful Sun Salutations, moving rhythmically with the breath through each posture. Enjoy 😊🧘‍♀️ 🧘

Happy Easter! 🐣

Easter is associated with new beginnings & rebirth. In keeping with Spring, it promises growth. It is a time to begin again...

A fresh start.

Here is a beautiful poem by Brendan Kennelly that I read again this morning. I hope you enjoy it!

In my practice this morning, I loved Extended Angle Pose and my meditation at the end.

Om...
Shanti, Shanti, Shantihi...
