THE SEEDS WERE SOWN IN AFRICA, I FEEL SO GRATEFUL.
From Darfur Sudan Africa to Inishturk Island
My first experience of Yoga was in Northern Darfur Sudan Africa in 2002 where I worked a volunteer international aid worker with Goal International & Concern Worldwide. A nutritionist colleague of mine was practising Yoga on her yoga mat in the desert where we lived, in sub-Saharan Africa. I was immediately intrigued and drawn to it. She guided me through a few poses, and I remember thinking I must check this out more when I get back to the city of Khartoum Sudan...so I did.
On return to Ireland in 2004, to bring a sense of balance to my life, in the height of the economic boom (Yikes!!), I joined a local yoga class and instantly fell in love. I have been practising, studying and having fun ever since. My ikagi, or life passion is evolution of personal awareness of consciousness and sharing this to continue the ripple effect.
The style of yoga I teach is inspired by my self practice. I work therapeutically with the chinese energy meridian system/ accupuncture points, yoga chakra system, energy healing and more to bring about personal wholeness, health and wellbeing. I guide each person to reconnect with awareness to release, nurture, balance and grow from the inside out.
I truly believe in the therapeutic benefits of what I teach both on and off the mat and how it counteracts the effects of stress on all levels. It is my true pleasure to share what I love in each class and retreat I hold.
I draw on my general nursing and applied science occupational health nursing qualifications & knowledge of the body to work therapeutically and safely.
