Stretch and Relax

The current term is from Monday 8 April to Wed 29 May 2024
(but feel free to join in any time)

Level 1 - Adult Beginners

Everyone's got to start somewhere! So this class is aimed at complete beginners. We'll focus on the very foundations of the practice - the basis of what we're doing and especially why we're doing it. Once you have an understanding of the basic concepts of breath synchronised movement, anatomical awareness, structural alignment, and the importance of relaxation, then you can choose whether your body and personality are suited to staying in a gentle level 1 class or if you'd like to inject a little extra energy and physical challenge into your yoga and move on to the intermediate class.

Class times: Monday 6.30-7.40pm & Tuesday 8.00-9.15pm

Level 1 - Adult Gentle

In our fast-moving busy lifestyles, it is important to be able to step out and take some time for yourself. This class is perfect for anyone who has completed at least one term of Level 1, and who enjoys an easy-going gentle stretch and strengthening class. For example, the older age groups, people who may be recovering from an injury, and people who like a slow, mindful practice.

Class times: Wednesday 9.30-10.45am

Level 2 - Adult Intermediate Vinyasa Flow

This form of yoga moves from pose to pose much more fluidly and rapidly, enhances cardiovascular fitness and builds stamina. Through core stabilisation exercises, we bring the body into better alignment, allowing us to strengthen without injury, relieving pain. Through increased mindfulness, yoga connects us with our bodies and increases our awareness of our physical limitations and weaknesses. This class is suitable for anyone who has already completed a course of beginners yoga and who would like the challenge of a more dynamic practice.

Class times: Monday 8.00-9.15pm & Tuesday 9.30-10.45am

Teen Yoga

For the 13-17 age group. This is a high-energy class to keep the participants energised, connected, engaged and challenged. I believe it is very important at this age to promote a healthy relationship with your body and mind, to be able to connect with yourself on a physical and emotional level and let go of competition and self-criticism while also giving ourselves permission not to take everything too seriously and have some fun!

Class times: Tuesday 6.30-7.30pm

NEW!!! Mother & Baby Yoga

This is a great way to ease yourself back into exercising as a new mother, while bonding with your baby. Suitable for new mums from 6 weeks postnatal, or 10 weeks post caesarean-section (unless otherwise advised by your doctor) and for babies from 6 weeks until they start crawling. This is a fun class concentrating on exercises for mothers' postnatal recovery, and to provide parents with a positive and enjoyable experience interacting with their baby in a safe and supportive environment. It is also an opportunity to meet other parents and their babies at a time when you can feel tired, isolated and possibly overwhelmed. For now I will be concentrating on just Mums and their babies, with a view, down the line, to open it up to Dads too.

Class times: Wednesday 11am-12pm, Glounthaune Community Centre

Relaxations Specials!

Every now and then we just need to rest and relax and restore our energy levels. So I have teamed up with Melanie O'Driscoll to offer just that. We ease ourselves into a few comfortable Restorative Yoga postures using all the props we can find to ensure absolute yumminess. We guide you into relaxation with breathing techniques, poetry, meditation, and healing sounds from an array of instruments.

The next Relaxation & Sound Healing event is on Friday 26 April, from 6.30-8.30pm in Glounthaune Community Centre. It's €35 to attend. Booking is essential.
