Can you believe that the first yoga block of the year finished this week?!

We can truly begin to welcome Spring now, as we are getting little glimpses between the rain showers. Spring is a time of rebirth, reawakening, and taking action, and this will be reflected in our next block of classes.

I have just finished taking an online Somantic Strength Course with Lizzie Lasater and Mary Richards, and I'd really love to incorporate some of those teachings into the classes. It was a course about functional movement for stability. Mary is a Yoga Therapist and designed the course, which blended yoga asana and strength training. It was very much about keeping joints happy and protected, supporting balance, and maintaining healthy movement so we can continue to move as we age.
Spring is a time of action, so let's get moving in a safe and supportive way that will help us feel stronger, more capable, and energised.

NEXT MIXED LEVEL YOGA CLASS IN SMITHBORO BEGINS:
Monday the 9th of March until 27th April (7 weeks)
Time: 7pm - 8:15pm

Happy New Year!
It's that time of year again when we feel like we might need a health kick, and now is the time to get started. Remember that it is still winter; it's still a time to rest, recuperate, and build energy stores. We can easily exhaust our energy if we go all in, and those New Year's Resolutions will begin to fall away. So let's try and be mindful of our goals, and if you've taken a break from exercise, ease back into movement with kindness and compassion for our bodies and mind.

The new 6-week yoga course starts on Monday, the 12th of January, and runs until the 23rd of February. It's a class suitable for all levels that gently builds strength and flexibility in the body, and it finishes with a relaxation to help restore peace in the mind.

It's hard to believe that the classes are finished up for the year and as the year draws to a close I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year.
I'm so grateful for your support and presence in the Yoga classes this year and I look forward to spending time on the mat with you in 2026.
Feel free to reach out with any questions about the yoga classes; I'm always happy to help.

The new 6 week block of classes will be starting Monday the 3th of November, up until the 8th of December!

The new sequence will focus on Kidney and Bladder Meridian lines which run along the inner thighs, the spine and hamstrings so it will be a lovely practice that includes forward bends which are wonderful for helping us to turn more inward and blocking out the outside world for a short while. Almost like our own mini hibernation!

This time of year corresponds to the Earth Element, which is also called the Mother of all the elements. It's the transition period between all Seasons; however, it tends to be stronger this time of year between Summer and Autumn... the Indian Summer.
The Earth element is a very caring and nurturing element; it represents stability, grounding, nourishment, and connection to the physical body and world. It never ceases to amaze me how practices like Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda seem to know exactly what we need and when, because right now, I feel like what I need is grounding and stability. So what you'll see in class this term is accessible core stability alongside using the feet to create a strong foundation that filters up to the knees, hip, and spine.

THE NEW TERM BEGINS
Monday the 8th Sept for 7 weeks until the 20th of October 2025

NEW YOGA TERM AT HILTON PARK

NEW YOGA TERM FOR THE SUMMER

Summer is a time of high energy and lots of activity, so this block of classes will include cooling practices like moon salutations to cool Summer's "heat" and energy. Expect to see some balancing postures, these are great for all ages, they can help with running and building stability in the joints as we age. Along with the physical benefits, balancing postures require mental focus, which helps to quieten a busy, overactive mind (even if it is just for a few moments!). To round it all off, the class will include some gentle heart-opening back-bends to soothe the Fire element that is associated with this time of year.

LOCATION: Hilton Park in Scotshouse / Clones
WHEN: Tuesdays 17th June - 22nd July (6 Weeks)
TIME: 7pm - 8pm
LEVEL: Beginner Friendly
INVESTMENT: €65 https://buy.stripe.com/eVqcN66TWdmw1g28WUcs80T
