Client Testimonials
“Thank you Orla for always showing and reminding me how feeling grounded to the earth affects my overall being in my otherwise hectic life. It’s always a pleasure to join you on the mat, out on the grass or in the forest. Your positive energy is contagious.”
Louise - Yoga Class Attendee
Orla has a way of creating a beautiful space with her very presence. Her classes are gentle and sacred. I felt very welcomed and unjudged. Her knowledge of the women's cycle, the body, the Irish language and Irish history is amazing and its a pleasure to hear her talk about it all. I would recommend her classes both yoga and women's circle to everyone.
Aoife - Yoga class and Women’s Circle Attendee
Thank you for speaking about the power of no the other day. I'm learning a lot from you and am very grateful.
Eve - Yoga Class and Women’s Circle Attendee
Fáilte, mo chara.
My name is Orla and I am a yoga teacher, sea enthusiast, advocate of rest and lover of laughter.
The way that I teach yoga is informed by many different facets including Hatha Flow, Yin, Menstrual Cycle Awareness and effective self - care and meditation techniques and anecdotal knowledge gained from practicing yoga in Ireland, Australia, Sri Lanka and Costa Rica. With an initial Bachelor of Education in Physical Education and Irish, this brings a fresh scientific and embodied cultural awareness to my yoga teaching, too. Through continued study, professional development and a continued eagerness to learn, the delivery of my yoga classes, workshops, online trainings and women’s circles remains relevant and fresh.
Body awareness and accessible rest are my core teaching principals. In my classes, you are given the tools to tune into sensation in your own body and to connect to yourself on a physical, emotional and energetic level. In doing so, you can attune to the energy and form of your own body and create your own container for deep and meaningful rest.
By practicing yoga with me, it is my intention that you will develop a deeper understanding of your body, breath and energy levels.
You deserve to take a break and make deep, delicious rest a cornerstone of your lifestyle.
