I started practising yoga and pilates about five years ago in my mid 30s initially to try and alleviate back pain, never did I imagine that my body and mind were going to undertake such rewarding changes.
I went to my first Ashtanga weekend workshop in the Burren in 2004 and felt amazing afterwards (but aching). I knew this was the type of yoga for me, it’s challenging, vigorous and fast flowing yet I can free my mind from the endless thoughts by concentrating on the breath.
I immersed myself in the practise and when I heard of Teacher Training with Anthony Kearney I joined up purely to deepen my practise and understanding of yoga. It was a fantastic experience. I gained a huge amount of confidence, body awareness and teaching skills. I am teaching now two years and I am very enthusiastic to share the experience and benefits of yoga with others.
After accomplishing my yoga Diploma I have continued my studies doing intensive training with David Sweenson, Anna Forest, Venketesh and travelled to India to study with Emil Wendel. I have also had the privilege to work with Danny Paradise, Lino Minele, Kino McGregor, Mattew Sweeney, Ray Tracey (RIP), David Life and many more. As a dedicated student and teacher I am travelling to Thailand in January 2008 to begin my advanced training with Paul Dallaghan.
I also have continued my Pilates practise and in 2006 I attained my Pilates Diploma with Progressive Pilates Academy (Bodyfirm, Dublin).
I would like to thank all my teachers and friends I have met on this yoga journey.
