Irene Dunne. I am passionate about making yoga accessible to everyone, regardless of background or age. My simple message is:

Connect with the truth that lies within you.

Starting this journey involves showing up to class and following your flow. Trusting your body helps unlock your true potential, leading to a lighter, more creative, and freer life.

Every class with me is unique, following a general structure but flexible to meet your needs. My goal is to help each person find a balance of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.'

“My intention is to create a deeply nourishing and uplifting

S P A C E for likeminded people to breathe, move, connect, and rest.

By reaching the individual these effects ripple into every area of their lives and community."

Daisy Deady:

My background is in music and performance, and somehow, yoga always seemed to support that for me. I used embodiment practices to connect with myself right before l would go on stage so that l could be more with myself than in heads of the audience. Fourteen months of training to become a yoga teacher was a massive privilege for me and essentially life changing, and that journey of showing up for ourselves and deep listening is what I'm here for. We go there together.'

With a background in dance, I began my career touring choreographed works in the 90s. I discovered yoga through adversity and was profoundly moved by its ability to address stress, physical pain, and soul connection.

I also organize the West Cork Yoga Festival and practice Thai Yoga Massage and Lomi Lomi Nui.'

SPECIAL GUESTS:  

Patricia O'Sullivan and Lucia Smyth: 

'Contact dance improvisation aims to safely and gradually explore the vast creative possibilities of coming into physical contact with ourselves, the ground and each other.

As a practice and art form, contact improv brings alive whatever is...

It creates a space in time to fully experience and explore the weight and air between bodies in stillness and motion.

It can spark our innate childlike curiosity to move and play, while rooting us in the ever-expanding present moment of the dance.'
