I discovered yoga many years ago after the birth of my second child. I had recurring back issues, pulled muscles and just an all round weak back. My doctor advised me to take up some yoga classes, to strengthen my core and prevent these injuries from occurring in the first place. Such simple but life changing advice. Prevention is better than the cure!
My first yoga class was with the wonderful Sonya Harnett of Yoga Essence in Celbridge and from here my love of yoga blossomed. I wasn’t expecting it to have such an impact on my life, I feel happier, stronger and I have welcomed so much more space and less stress into my life, something myself and my beautiful little family has benefitted from.
So here I am many years later and a fully qualified Yoga teacher. I completed my 2 year teacher training in 2021 with Yoga Therapy Ireland RYT 500hrs. I completed my 100 hr prenatal yoga teacher training in 2025.
There are so many places offering yoga teacher training but YTI just felt right for me. I loved the more therapeutic approach and this idea of inclusivity – that yoga is for every body. During the two year course we covered all things yoga; yoga philosophy, asana practice, meditation, breathwork, relaxation, anatomy and physiology.
Following these two years my love for yoga and meditation has only deepened but there is so much more to learn so I do hope to continue my studies with YTI in the future. I am so grateful to have met the most amazing people while studying with YTI who are now friends for life and to all the wonderful tutors I had the privilege to learn from along the way at YTI, especially Sonya H, Marie L and Elaine P.
The inspiration you seek is already within you. Be silent and listen…
