Orla, I just want to say a real heartfelt thank you for all your amazingly beautiful energy. You are a true kind soul and you will be missed dearly. I know everyone has things going on in their lives but you have truly given me peace in class when I thought I could find none in the last year. I will be forever grateful.

Since starting Yoga it has allowed me to try and slow down, to give myself time to breathe and relax alittle. The last 18 months or so have been challenging at times what with Covid, lock down, personal losses etc and as was said yesterday, being a people pleaser. So I'm delighted to have started with you and thanks for being such a kind, gentle and caring teacher Orla.

Maria - Yoga and Women’s Circle Attendee


Thanks a million for the sessions, the feedback from the lads has been really positive and some have been asking if we could keep them going.

I truly did sleep well. I never heard the wind outside! Such an amazing sleep thanks to you.

Yoga with Orla online during COVID 19 has been a lifesaver. When so many things in life were shut, stopped , restricted it was great to tune in and be part of a class. Being a healthcare worker and along with all the well known benefits of yoga it brought some structure and normality and some down time to what were sometimes very mixed up days or weeks.

I have a passion for Athletics and have been running since I was 10. Heading nearer to 50 now the stretching and flexibility that yoga teaches and gives me is a great companion to match with the running. Actually I would say it is vital.

So often we clock up the miles and ignore what we really need to be doing to help and keep the body able to run. If I’m taking a break from running due to an injury etc Orlas yoga classes are great to give me something else to focus on. If I’m running a few days a week they pair so well to help keep me stretching and injury free .

Fab class! I think I may have snoozed!

Orla,

Thanks so much for your amazing classes which have kept me sane during Lockdown!

Lovely to meet you, I'm really enjoying the gentle yoga, it’s so good for helping me just slow down!

As with the majority of people in the world at the moment, I've been feeling completely fed up. I've no interest in work, and feel I'm not my energetic self at the moment, little things that shouldn't be annoying me have really been getting to me. Your session on Wednesday was exactly what I needed.

This morning, I decided to say no to work. I'm tired, fed up and being annoyed my small things. I haven't been able to do my job properly lately so I decided to say no today. Oftentimes we think we have to be in agony or extremely ill before we take a sick day. Sometimes we just need to listen to our minds and give them the care they need too.

I'm currently sitting in my PJs while nursing a cup of ginger tea. Soon I'll go for a walk, read my book and maybe bake too. Ultimately, I'm just going to have a self care day and say no to things that just aren't working for me at the moment, and not feel guilty for doing so.

Thank you for speaking about the power of no the other day. I'm learning a lot from you and am very grateful.

This time has truly brought a sense of magic (draíocht) and saoícht (wisdom) to my life. I have always had difficulty recognising and listening to my intuitive voice and Orla has helped me to develop a new awareness of it.

She has created a tearmann (sanctuary) of beautiful souls that is safe and supportive.

Most of all I have learnt that the more we struggle in the complex net of life the more we get tangled.

Orla helps us to surrender and let go of or our expectations cares and old beliefs.

Thank you Orla

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 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


The retreat was really excellent Orla. I started off the week feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to take on new challenges whilst appreciating the importance of taking a step back to designate time to focus on myself, regardless of how busy I am. I've realised that sometimes it's more productive in the long run to step away and shut down for a bit to gain the necessary energy to tackle our busy schedules.

What a beautiful way to spend a Sunday morning! I felt inches taller after Orla's yoga practice where she guided us through a series of poses combining strength, balance and flexibility suitable for all levels of yogis. It provided options to challenge or be gentle on yourself depending on how you were feeling. It was gorgeous to flow into Niamh's biofield energy healing following the practice. I was able to connect with my own energy centres and recognise areas which needed a little attention. After this session I felt lighter, more energised, refreshed and ready to take on the week ahead. Would 100% recommend and can't wait for the next one.

I would highly recommend Orla’s yoga classes. Orla’s classes are both engaging and relaxing, catering for all levels and abilities. There is always a lovely warm, welcoming atmosphere where you can feel daily stresses melting away on arrival. Orla is very kind, gentle and encouraging, always helping you to reach your own potential. The relaxation at the end of class is very special and always helps me to destress and I’m guaranteed a good night’s sleep. Try it out, you won’t regret it! There’s something for everyone!

In the beautiful tranquil setting of Mandala studio Carlow, I attended my second Women's Circle with Orla. The yoga practice is about feeling at one with your female self and coincides with the full moon. Orla is a wonderful caring instructor and her serene guidance in meditation and yoga allows me to refocus, relax and recharge. I almost float out of the studio. I would highly recommend attending a Monthly Women's Circle by Orla. I have also practiced Orla's outdoor yoga session, and doing a practice outdoors with the elements brings a whole new experience to the yoga session...try it...you will like it .

Debbie - Yoga and Dip and Women’s Circle Attendee


Thank you for the great session the other week! It was quite late for me here in Aus so I went to bed straight after the sound healing! I was super relaxed and felt amazing!

Fantastic collaboration between Orla and Niamh! Two kind souls who are fantastic at what they do. The yoga felt super restorative and at a good pace that everyone could enjoy. I was left feeling light, energised and so focused after the sound healing session also. I highly recommend this combo for anyone who wants to gain some energy and support two amazing women!

Orla, I just want to say farewell. It was lovely being in your classes. Your spirituality is what drew me to it and had a massive effect on me. It was quite emotional at times. Don't underestimate the power of what you're doing.

I just want to thank you for yesterday. I wasn’t feeling great and you really helped me. It was amazing.
