Yinstinct Yoga

Yinstinct Yoga Yoga I have been teaching Yoga for 15 years. I also hold an Advanced Diploma in Nutrition Coaching and a Pilates Mat teaching qualification.

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.

We need hibernation. We need rest. This is important for Alzheimer’s prevention because stress and lack of rest can influence our risk.

But that rest can’t be as long as winter.

Because possibly more importantly, our brains need challenging stimulus for future protection too.

Stimulus can also support nervous system ease improving pain and mobility now.

Learning novel routes to add seamlessly to your yoga and/or movement classes is what NeuroSoma Yoga training is all about.

With two highly experienced trainers and NeuroSoma Yoga is the only training in the world to offer new neuro techniques specifically for yoga classes and one-to-one teaching.

This training gives you the knowledge of the brain and nervous system you need (and haven’t been offered in even longer yoga trainings), and the techniques which can protect and support the brain and nervous system in ways that will soon be expected of movement professionals.

You can join us starting this February!

The best results from studies we have on yoga and menopause are from those that contain information support and targeted practices (a bit like Yoga Therapy rather than just general yoga classes).

Then we see some good results in meta-analyses that show it’s comparable to exercise. And for sure, yoga alone is not enough. Nothing alone is enough! Not even HRT!

We also know most of our students won’t practice 5 times per week!

That’s why Yoga for Menopause and Beyond is curated for menopause, with additional evidence-based and neurological elements, with take-home movement, breath and other practice “snacks”, and includes education, which we KNOW makes any struggle better.

Next training starts February.

I’m here for you, with no-nonsense, sustainable, achievable, evidence-based adjustments to your teaching or your movement practice.

It is my purpose and passion to support key areas that affect us as we move through our lives. Particularly focusing on muscular strength,movement with osteoporosis & other conditions, nervous system supports, and brain health protection for now and for the future.

See you soon!

Are you tired of, or overwhelmed by too much misinformation about menopause, and it’s making you more worried or just want to stop doing anything?

Do you have osteoporosis but are scared to move because you’re uncertain of what’s true?

Are you afraid for your brain-health and feel there can’t possibly be a magic answer, but there must be something to be done?!

It’s my mission to support these essentials of aging in individuals and professionals through our 40s, 50s and onwards.

Some meaningful photos in a break in Amsterdam with my two teen girls.

1: my eldest has started snapping us at random moments. I love this strange pose she caught! I’m just brushing my hair while closing a window! But I look like some superhero-warrior-dancer!

2: highlight of a canal trip to see the lights festival was seeing my girls rest against each other. They aren’t often far from argument, so this was special. I squeezed in a few times, wanting that connection too 😌

3: this light sculpture was entitled “a thousand thoughts”. Look how beautiful! In yoga we try to still our thoughts, but how can we want these beauties to be silent?! Go ahead! Think! It’s a stunning part of being human!

4: yoga stick figures with enlightened heads!

5: a challenging but peace-inducing sentiment, one I believe helps us to move through perimenopause, menopause and into our elder years with grace: no clinging to what was. The light we made is nourishing those behind us, and we are always creating new light!

🙏♥️

Let’s move beyond unrealistic claims and embrace the truth. Authenticity helps women feel safe, supported, and seen.

Oh my goodness. Whether you celebrate this time in a special way or not, I feel very warm towards you, my social media community, and the people I support and train!

I am so privileged and grateful for my work.

I am so grateful that working with women from perimenopause to the decades beyond (at the age of 55, those decades are you exciting to me!) has been embraced by you, my students and clients.

And I feel SO enriched by working with other yoga and movement teachers. To help you support your valued students as they journey through life is exciting and fills me with hope for yoga and the people who love it.

Sending you gratitude and warm wishes.
