Yinstinct Yoga, Greystones, Wicklow (2025)

I support people one-to-one in nutrition and exercise. I hold weekly classes and occasional workshops in Greystones and online. I train other Yoga teachers around the world in my Certificate in Teaching Yoga for Menopause, and run a CPD in Menopause Awareness for Wellness Professionals. Teaching retreats a few times a year, which are very popular, I also love offering a blissful immersion into all aspects of Yoga in stunning surroundings in the West of Ireland. Hatha Yoga is the basis of all Yoga styles, and gives beginners and experienced practitioners an essential insight into all it can provide. My classes are aimed at bringing you towards greater strength, comfort and health, with essential focus on the healthy alignment of the joints and spine to avoid the injury that can come with a less refined practice. I teach pragmatically through evidence-based techniques that enhance the benefits of yoga for all, and especially for women who are in the throes of their perimenopause transition, or in the years beyond.

Truly, the trainings I run are a deeply felt passion project.

Looking after women in perimenopause and as we age is a privilege.

You can learn many evidence based routes to address the important concerns of perimenopause, osteoporosis and brain health in the future.

2026 dates booking now.

Oh no, no, no! You are not a fraud because you “can’t do”, or are forgetting things in class etc

Your perimenopause and postmenopause may make you the best teacher you have ever been!

You will have no choice but to discover, perhaps for the first time, the truth of life.

And you will learn how to hold that, and more, in your students, compassionately humbly and effectively.

I’m here to help you. 🙏

There’s been a MESS in the menopause space these last couple of weeks.

Uncharacteristically, I have stayed quiet (despite my brain feeling like my hair is looking!)

In creating and representing Yoga for Menopause, I approach this with a yogic view.

If you know me, you know where I, and Yoga for Menopause stand: the truth, the non-extreme, the take-a-breath and wait before you jump to making claims.

In that breath I ask:
Is this too good to be true?
Is the “information” going to hurt or fear?
Is the information logical?
Does the information help?
Is the information reliable?

The two ridiculous, unfounded, fear-inducing misinformation/disinformation headline claims being spouted lately as truth (the brain eats itself in menopause, and HRT reduces risk of death by 60%) are so clearly nonsense and unhelpful, including WILFUL omission of what studies actually say/cannot say.

I have stayed quiet because menopause experts I trust are doing a good, calm job slowly calling out the absolute WRONGS of what is being said.

I’ve seen great posts by .hormone.doc

Some are calm, some angry. But all aligned with truth.

Now then… can you see how this aligns with Yoga and Yoga for Menopause?

Safer Twisting for Osteoporosis 🌿

Twisting isn’t off-limits — it just needs mindfulness.

🌀 The thoracic spine (upper back) is designed for rotation.
⚠️ The lumbar spine (lower back) is not.

Here’s how to twist safely:
✅ Focus the movement in the upper spine
✅ Keep the knees together for lower back stability
✅ Avoid pulling or leveraging into the twist
✅ Move slowly, breathe deeply, and stay aware

This approach helps protect the sacroiliac joint and lumbar spine while maintaining flexibility and ease.

✨ Want to explore more safe movement practices for low bone density?
