New Beginnings - Yoga & Art Workshop 

Saturday the 18th of January

Time: 5pm-7.30pm

First days of the year are very symbolic and are often associated with new beginnings. We can say that new year is like new birth - new chance to ask ourselves if we are living the life we wish for.

This workshop aims to support us on the journey of yet another new beginning by creating a space to set the clear intention for the path ahead combined with gentle yoga and mindful art (no experience required:) to enter new chapter of our lives with a clarity and focus.

What to expect:

- Gentle Yoga Practice with intention setting

- Tea break with herbal teas, healthy snacks & treats

- Designing your own mandala - simple, abstract design that represents the connection between our inner worlds and outer reality. Drawing and colouring a mandala can be a highly enriching personal experience in which we look inside ourselves and find the shapes, colours and patterns to symbolize our most deeply-desired wish, intention or prayer.  

Bring a friend or come solo, this is a welcoming space for you to move inwards and find inspiration for the next chapter of your life’s journey.

~Blanket, mat and cushion provided however you are more than welcome to bring your own

Cost: 40eur (all art materials, teas and vegan snacks included in price:)

Let us slow down and be present, nourishing that inner flame of hope that exists in each and every one of us.

Yin Yoga is a slower paced, gentler style of yoga using as many props as your body needs. We hold poses for longer periods of time, encouraging stillness and inviting ourselves to turn inwards and reconnect with the sensations of the body.

The slowing down and mindfulness of yin yoga, calms the nervous system, alleviating stress and tension while improving energy flow and restoring equilibrium and balance. 

Rest, relax and restore in the sound vibrations from the Himalayan singing bowls, gong, tongue drum and other instruments.  This soothing sound bath will further engage your nervous system promoting a deep sense of relaxation and peace. 

Yin Yoga is suitable for everyone but the sound bath would not suit the following: 

- anyone with a pacemaker

- anyone who has had major surgery or a metal implant inserted in the last 3 months

-  anyone in their first trimester of pregnancy

Please wear comfy clothes and bring water

Join Mary for Restorative Yoga Practice

Sunday 29th of September

Time: 2pm - 4pm

Restorative Yoga involves the use or props to support the body to completely relax.

It is a way of really resting your body and allowing the body and mind to open up.

Restorative Yoga provides a complementary space for both physical and mental relaxation. We can just be - with no agenda or expectation.

Restorative Yoga can also be used as a meditation. We softly move our spines in different directions and include some gentle inversions which reduce our blood pressure. It stimulates and soothes our organs depending on the posture.

It is a quiet, slow practice and our use of props allows us to progress into deeper states of relaxation & gentle opening.

This allows us to get in touch with our body mind connection and puts us firmly on the path for relaxation, management and reduction of our stress. We move towards health and wellbeing.

What’s not to love?!

This is suitable for all levels including beginners.

Prepare to unwind!

Dress comfortably, bring a yoga mat, water, 3 blankets & have no expectations of yourself. Just be.

Yoga props are provided but bring along anything you need to make yourself more comfortable.

Fee: 35€

Book early to ensure your spot on the mat.

Join Mary for Yin Yoga Practice

Sunday 29th of September

Time: 11.30am-1.30pm

Time out - just for you.

This is a quiet, slow, contemplative practice that compliments a busy lifestyle or regular yoga practice & other sports.

Yin Yoga improves flexibility, reduces stress, improves emotional, mental health & well being.

We work deep into the fascia through a series of floor postures, which we hold for several minutes - with compassion (it’s not an endurance test!).

Yin Yoga gently challenges people & every posture will explore different aspects of that. You don’t have to be flexible to try this!

A regular Yin yoga practice will really help your flexibility, understand why certain postures are more accessible to you than others and work towards moving those barriers or accepting those limitations - improving awareness that can be carried into your general yoga practice.

Take the time to stretch, lengthen & let go of anything that no longer serves you.
Spend time getting to know your body & your mind.

This is suitable for all levels, including if you’ve never tried Yoga.

Have no expectations of yourself- just stretch & breathe.

Wear comfortable clothing, bring a mat, a blanket & a bottle of water.

€35 Pre booking is essential to secure your place

Iyengar Yoga Workshop 

Sunday 26th of May 10am - 12pm 

Join Nikki for an introductory workshop to Iyengar Yoga. We will go through various poses during the workshop finishing off with relaxation in a guided Savasana. 

Improve your alignment, balance, strength and flexibility while reducing stress and calming the mind. With the use of props Iyengar Yoga can be practiced by those of any age, ability and level of fitness, enabling everyone to fully benefit from each pose. 

This workshop is suitable for beginners to general level students with a strong emphasis on precision, alignment and attention to detail. 

It is ideal for beginners as there is a slower pace to focus on how to come into each pose correctly and what you are doing while in each pose bringing more physical awareness of the body.

For general level students they can develop their practice and progress further into more advanced variations of each pose. Just bring along a yoga mat and we’ll supply the rest. 

Cost: 30eur

For more information contact Nikki on 086 0700 347 or email mandalaiyengaryoga@gmail.com

Deep Rest & Guided Meditation

Restorative Yoga is a deeply restful practice using props, blankets, soft lighting, in silence, or with very gentle rhythmic music. Yoga Nidra combines guided meditation and visualisation while lying in Savasana also known as Corpse Pose.

The class promotes a state of deep relaxation of the body, while inviting participants to continue to be aware of surroundings. When joining me online your practice should be in a warm, comfortable, and darkened space (as much as is possible depending on your environment).

Generally I suggest that that you practice in silence while I provide the guided meditation, but if that feels too much, then playing some gentle music in the background in your room is absolutely fine. (You will be on mute so the choice is yours).

The invitation is to practice in soft lighting, or to experience some comfort around the eyes, during savasana you may use an eye pillow, or a rolled up face cloth over the eyes can work just as well.

For Savasana, corpse pose, using plenty of supports is really important. Using a blanket under the body can provide warmth to your back, and using a bolster or pillow under the knees can alleviate any discomfort in the back. Whether you're joining from a mat on the floor or from your bed, have a low pillow or folded blanket under the head. And then finish it off with a warm and comfortable blanket over the top. Having layers and comfy socks will ensure you don't cool down too much, as we will be staying here in this position for at least an hour.

You can expect to feel great relief from emotional exhaustion as well as physical ailments when practicing Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra regularly. However, if you are in early stages of grief, currently experiencing strong emotional or physical difficulties, it may be wiser to chat directly to see if the timing is right for you to attend. More active movement as with Hatha, or a more present wakeful mindfulness class may be more appropriate for this moment in time. Contact me if you'd like to learn more.
