24/08/2026

Now taking bookings for chair yoga in An Sanctoir, West Cork, returning on September 14th. A a safe, light-hearted and welcoming class suitable for most adults who might wish for a gentler class, with adaptations for those who have more limited mobility and a focus on coming home to yourself through meditative awareness.

What to expect:
- Physical movement in the chair or standing: we focus on functional movement: strength, balance, mobility and posture to support you in your daily life.
- Breathing techniques: practices to support you to breathe fully and easily, as well as to create calm and manage stress.
- Relaxation and meditation: tools to support restfulness in body, heart and mind, whatever life throws at you.
- Techniques that aid memory, concentration and brain function.
- This class is also a lovely social experience - the relaxed, friendly, long-term group welcomes new comers warmly!

As an experienced yoga therapist with a background in massage therapy I am well-equipped to support a variety of muscular-skeletal problems and health issues - all welcome!
Wheelchair accessible venue.

September offer for newcomers - your first class for only 5 euros! Pre-booking essential.

Hi everyone. I wanted to share this delightful little festival with you. I'll be teaching two Amerta movement workshops. It's at the end of this month, at An Sanctoir, in southwest Ireland, where MAM was held last year. There are lots of great facilitators offering workshops based on many different disciplines, all sharing our love of the land and nature-based embodiment practices. It would be wonderful if any of you felt drawn to join us! More info here:
