WEEKLY YOGA CLASSES AND SPECIAL EVENTS FOCUSED ON RELAXATION AND BRINGING BALANCE TO YOUR LIFE
SUPPORT YOUR MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT WITH RESTORATIVE YOGA EVERY MONDAY
Restorative yoga may not be like any class you have attended in the past or heard about. With this form of yoga, the poses are held from 10-15 min., which may sound like a really long time, but I assure you time passes quickly during this entirely passive practice. You are ensured comfort, as this class involves the use of various props (blankets, bolsters, blocks and more) that will allow the body to settle and feel at ease. In our busy modern world, restorative yoga acts as a break from that noise. It helps quiet the mind and support the nervous system. Many people starting with yoga, those with injuries, illness, mobility issues and others looking for a more restful practice will find solace in the candlelit surrounds at the Urban Co-Op.
Classes are 6:30-7:30 pm, every Monday— €15/week (or a four class pass for €50) and you can use the calendar feature below to book in whenever you like. You may also send on payment via Revolut. All classes are held at The Urban Co-Op and you are welcome to drop-in for class any week. Entry is via the side door and we are in the room marked Meitheal. If you are new to yoga or haven’t felt welcome in other yoga spaces, I will welcome you and help you find customisations that feel good for you and your body.
Accessibility Notes: This is an entirely floor-based class without continuous movements up and down off the mat. Available props include bolsters, blankets, blocks, chairs and straps to ensure you can customise your practice.

YIN YOGA CLASSES EVERY THURSDAY
YIN YOGA: NEXT FOUR WEEK SERIES OF CLASSES STARTS THE 16TH MAY, EVERY THURSDAY, 6:30- 7:30 PM AT THE URBAN CO-OP, LIMERICK
This is a slower paced form of yoga, where poses are held for longer than other forms of yoga. This allows the movements to target and go more deeply to support fascia, ligaments and joints. As a certified Yoga for All teacher, it is very important to me that my classes are inclusive for all bodies. You will be provided with multiple ways to adjust postures so they feel good for you and your unique needs.
Classes are €50/ four weeks and must be booked in advance. You may register here or send on payment via Revolut. All classes are held at The Urban Co-Op with entry via the side door. If you are new to yoga or haven’t felt welcome in other yoga spaces, I will welcome you and help you find customisations that feel good for you and your body.
Accessibility Notes: This is a primarily floor-based class without continuous movements up and down off the mat. Available props include bolsters, blankets, blocks, chairs and straps to ensure you can customise your practice.
All classes are held at the Urban Co-Op, in Eastway Business Park near the NCT test centre.

HYPNO-YOGA CLASSES: COMBINED HYPNOBIRTHING & PREGNANCY YOGA CLASSES
The next set of classes runs for five weeks, the 14th May to 11th June. Every Tuesday from 6:30-9 pm at the Urban Co-Op, Limerick. €199 investment
Join this five week progressive series of classes which are focused on helping you prepare for your best birth possible. Each class will begin with an hour of antenatal yoga followed by hypnobirthing. Each session will focus on a different labour topic, ensuring you feel confident and prepared for any path labour takes. You will leave each weekly class with information you can share with your birth partner.
Following our five weeks together, you and your birth partner will have a two hour private one:one antenatal education session with me! This is a great time to review any birth topics, chat about what postpartum and newborn care may look like and explore any sensitive topics. Your birth partner (significant other, sister, mom, friend, etc.) will also learn practical hands-on comfort measures which can be utilised during labour.
Topics Covered During the Five Week Series:
What hypnobirthing is and how it can help you have a positive birth
The stages of labour, including physiological changes
The role of hormones
Breathing techniques, visualisations and mindfulness
Labour + birth positions
How to make informed choices
Birth preferences and advocacy
All of your options for birth, including pain relief, comfort measures and more
FAQs
-
All of my classes take place at the Urban Co-Op, located in Eastway Business Park by the NCT test centre. There are multiple rooms at the Co-Op and each class description includes the room name. I also put a sign on the door so you know you’re in the right place.
-
Yes. I teach mixed level classes and always provide options for students so you can make any adjustments that feel best for you. I also encourage everyone to explore with the use of props.
-
Of course. Yoga really isn’t not about flexibility. Yoga is about coming to a safe space, getting in some movement and relaxation. My classes are not about competition (with yourself or anyone else), flexibility or even strength. The most important things to me are: you being present, nervous system support and you finding movement that feels best for you.
-
More than likely. I encourage anyone with an injury to check in with their doctor before starting any class, particularly if you have an injury. When in doubt, double check with them. The most important thing is you let me know so I can help you adjust any movements necessary. My classes are much more gentle that the almost-acrobatics seen in the media.
-
Drop in classes are 15 euros/class or four classes for 50 euros. For class terms (usually 4-5 weeks), the price will vary depending on the length of the class. You can check individual prices here in the shop.
-
Yes they can. Teens must be 12 years and older to attend and must be accompanied by an adult attending the class with them— no waiting in the car park.
-
My pregnancy yoga classes include gentle movement, relaxation, breathing techniques and more to help you prepare for labour— so I would consider these ideal. If the class days or times do not suit you, you can of course attend my other classes. Some adjustments may need to be made due to pregnancy, and I’m a knowledgeable teacher to help you do so.
-
I encourage you to wait a minimum of six weeks postpartum before coming back to movement. If you have any concerns about coming to class, then I encourage you to contact your GP just to be doubly sure. When coming back to yoga, I also encourage you to start with more gentle classes, like restorative or yin yoga.
