Saint Brigid is the only female among Ireland’s three patron saints and her bank holiday on Monday is the first Irish public holiday named after a woman - it is about time!

For the first eighteen years of her life, Brigid was an enslaved worker alongside her mother. Already in her youth, she is credited as having performed some miracles. One miracle says that she transformed a lake into beer to serve a l***r colony which had run out of beer, what a woman!

Around 480, Brigid founded a monastery at Kildare. She is often credited as founding a convent, which was the first communal consecrated religious site for women in Ireland. Over the years, Brigid’s site in Kildare became a centre of religion and learning, and Kildare developed into a cathedral city.

Join us on Saturday January 11th for an instructor workshop that will take a deep dive into the art and science of partnering.

Partnering takes on many forms in the studio. We will explore them all and how their use deepens understanding of not only the movement but how the unique power of touch gives us as instructors valuable feedback about the client, builds deeper bonds of collaboration and gives the client a glimpse of the potential for what they could do that they may not be able to achieve on their own...YET!

This workshop will be a combination of sharing information and breaking out into teaching groups to practice. Please bring any exercises you struggle to teach and we will work it out!
