Yoga Cloughjordan - Majella O Connor

Hi all

Yoga classes will begin again at the Thomas MacDonagh Museum here in Cloughjordan this coming Tuesday 20th February .

Tuesday 5-6.15- Chair Yoga This class will consist of very gentle yoga done seated in a chair as well as Range of Movement (ROM) exercises recommended by the Arthritis Society Ireland. It will also include some breathwork, mindfulness and relaxation and is suitable for most people including those recovering from injuries, joint replacements and those living with arthritis etc. It is also suitable for wheelchair users. Please check with your doctor if you are unsure as to its suitability for you.

Tuesdays 6.30-7.45pm Mixed level yoga - Suitable for all levels, including complete beginners. Those from aged 16 to 83 have attended this class and so long as you can lie on a yoga mat on the ground you are very welcome. This class is for those wanting to improve flexibility and range of motion. Please check with your doctor if you have an injury or are unsure as to its suitability.

Tuesdays 8.00-9.15pm Yoga Flow - An embodied vinyasa flow class for those with some yoga experience and those wanting a more energetic class. It will have more focus on strength and stamina as well as flexibility while all the time tuning in to the inner teacher.

In each week's yoga class we will work through different movement sequences focusing on different areas of the body e.g. spine, hips, neck and shoulder etc. and/or body systems such as the nervous system, lymphatic system etc. I also bring in aspects of Somatics and work with developmental movement patterns. Sessions also include breathwork, mindfulness techniques and relaxation. I have lots of yoga mats but do bring your own if you wish. Wear comfortable clothing and maybe bring a blanket for the yoga nidra and relaxation at the end.

The cost for the 5 week term up until hallowe’en is €50. Drop ins are welcome subject to space on the night and the cost per class for this will be €12

I am fully insured and for info on the style of yoga and about the trainings I have done please see my last Facebook post

I would appreciate liking and sharing and spreading the word

I often get asked what style of yoga I teach which can be hard to answer. I often say that we begin with the breath and with settling the mind and body. I invite participants to find in the suggested yoga poses movement that suits their body and that their bodies will enjoy. If something feels good we will want to continue to do it. Every body is different and its usually best to listen to it. I try to never use words like push or stretch, rather words like allow or soften into and if something doesn't feel right don't do it. I believe this helps enormously in avoiding injury and aging well. Having lived for over a decade with fibromyalgia myself this practice of yoga has been been a key factor in helping me stay well. To get a further idea of what this style of yoga is like here's a bit about me and maybe you might like to google some of the teachers/courses. I have been truly blessed so to have and continue to have the most wonderful teachers and their website have lots of fantastic information.
