You are always welcome to just drop in and browse!

Yoga Walks and Hiking

A chance to meet other people interested in yoga, meditation, alternative health and all things related. If you are interested in meeting once a month to walk and talk or depending on the weather sit and chat, then let Liam know by email or txt on 086 408 2428. No charge, just an opportunity to meet your yoga peers outside the Studio setting. All ages welcome from tiny tots to sprightly seniors! (Suggestions for walking routes and possible venues also welcome).

What is…..?

Hatha Yoga

A logical sequence of traditional poses which emphasizes flexibility and relaxation. The sequence may change from class to class. Deeply relaxing, quietly invigorating.

Ashtanga Yoga Beginners

A logical sequence of traditional poses which emphasizes strength, stamina and detoxing purification. The same sequence is repeated from class to class until mastered by students. Purifying, strengthening and invigorating.

Ashtanga Yoga Continuation

Also known as Mysore style. For continuing students of Ashtanga who have mastered the basic sequence of postures and are now ready to practice independently with supervision from a teacher. Allows students to progress at their own pace from one class to the next. Anto is a senior teacher and currently runs the only Mysore style class in Wexford County.

Fitness Yoga

A challenging, Ashtanga style lead class that aims to generate sweat, develop strength and carry students safely through to more advanced postures. Some pre-existing level of fitness is helpful but not obligatory for this class.

Pregnancy Yoga

Yoga for soon to be mums under the guidance of an experienced, pregnancy yoga certified mother of two (Siobhan – 086 819 9498). Yoga can have a transformative effect on your experience of pregnancy when guided by an experienced teacher.

One to One Yoga Classes

Yoga targeted specifically to your needs. Always available from individual teachers (please contact the teacher in question directly) or from Liam at the Gorey Yoga Studio. Liam (086 408 2428) charges Eur 40 per hour for classes at the Studio or Eur 50 for a class in your own home or other venue of your choice.

Meditation

Every 2nd and 4th Monday or each month. Meditation calms the mind and can help to reduce stress (among other benefits). This not a taught class but an invitation to meditate in a group setting and share your experience of meditation in an informal way. The meditation begins with a short reading followed by two 20 minute meditation sessions divided by a short break. Payment is by donation only.

Kids Yoga

Coming to the Yoga Studio from January. Siobhan (mother of two, certified childminder, pregnancy yoga teacher and kids yoga teacher!) will be teaching this fun, activity class for your little ones. To register your interest with her, please text or call 086 819 9498.

Hope to see you soon,

Namaste,

Liam

Dear All,

Hope you are all enjoying the beginning of a beautiful new Irish Summer (no irony intended although I’m sure some taken…)

Here’s a little update about what’s new and a reminder of the usual good things available at the Studio (all non-Studio locations highlighted in red). Just one or two small changes to classes – Sunday Ashtanga will be back on a demand basis, there are a few nice workshops and intensives coming up and therapy rates are still excellent with specific discounts until August.

Om Shanti / Peace to all you and yours!

Liam.

Clare Island Retreat Centre Workshop Dates – Clare Island Retreat Centre

Check out all the activities in this wonderful centre at www.yogaretreats.ie.

Yoga Helpers / Karma Yoga

If you fancy being a ‘helper’ (be warned it is hard work!) at the centre for at least two weeks, then you can have free accomodation, board and some yoga tuition:

“Outside the summer season (until June, and from September), we have space for a few helpers/wwoofers who are willing to work in the garden, on the land, with the animals, or to help with house maintenance or any on-going building project, in exchange for vegetarian food, accommodation and occasional yoga tuition (the yoga room is usually available for self-practice when it isn’t being used for a class). Unless you have been here before or have a very specific skill (organic gardening, experience working with horses, eco-building, etc.) that is relevant to us, we ask you to commit to a minimum stay of 2 weeks. and preference is given to those who would like to come for longer periods of time. Please note that the work can be physically demanding (like carrying heavy things, digging the garden, or moving manure around in a wheel barrow), and usually involves spending a lot of time outdoors, sometimes in inclement weather. So far more important than an interest in yoga or meditation is the ability to work hard! Some previous experience of gardening, farm or building work is recommended. Work is usually 5 to 6 hours / day, with one day off per week.”
