Month: April 2022

Practice, Practice, Practice

Yes that old adage that practice makes perfect rings so true. Exercising for a healthy body, meditating for a healthy mind, eating well to sustain whole body energy, making time for those you love. The Junior cert child in our house is learning this lesson also, working & studying are all practice. Building it into your daily routine, it’s hard work and then it becomes habit.

Really listening in, I found in 2 outdoor classes last week that each one created this energy that is simply unique in a yoga class. Teaching outside just feels so damn good, it really does call on you to keep going inside and tuning into how you truly feel. Can’t wait to be back at Seapoint for sunset yoga Wednesday 04th May. Book in here, wear a few layers to keep warm at the start and for Savasana.

Lots of us are practicing still online in our homes. When we step onto our mats we prepare for a practice that is designed to fulfill us. So why not make it a bit special. Create a little altar by your practice space. My classes are designed to be a spiritually uplifting experience. So why not put a photo of some-one you love at the top of your mat, any one you would like to send loving healing energy towards. Been to the beach recently? Pop a seashell near your mat or perhaps some flowers, or hey even a crystal or 2. The world is your altar oyster.

Return each time to Gratitude

Ever feel a disconnection of yourself, feelings of low self worth? There are so many forces from external to distract us but also internal forces. We erect barriers and obstacles that stop us from doing the internal work to understand our true selves. But when you make actions to explore yourself, find your purpose, then shift happens. How to find the thing that wakes you up, that gets you going. This has been the kick in the ass I needed this week.

If you really truly listen there are so many callings that you can tap into, you can always find your purpose within yourself when you truly tune in. Working through my goals from the start of this year, it has been tough to get out of the starting blocks. Not sure if it is post COVID hangover but 2022 has been a tough year to navigate so far.

Taking it back to the primary sources of self care and understanding what works for me, I begin with gratitude. I don’t have the answers to all my sh*t, so going back to source looks like starting each day with a practice of gratitude. Genuinely it makes me feel better, it shifts my perception of my relationships, my understanding of my path for teaching.

There was a time when as a single mother life was extremely hard. Living in a space where there was never enough of anything to now living in a space where there is plenty I find it tough still to not beat the crap out of myself and feel I am not enough. Ruminating through my mind and asking the question why do I do that? So a return to being conscious of my energy, of loving each and every episode of my life, of every experience that comes my way. Gratitude, appreciation it works and that’s how I choose to be.

So here’s some serious gratitude – I am so happy to announce that we will return to sunset yoga Wednesday May 04th at Seapoint. This is the most beautiful class where you can flow into the evening, open out and release from your day. Then watch the sunset over Dublin bay. Huge gratitude to all of you who came to practice with me in 2021 at this special place and I look forward to seeing you again soon my lovelies. To book into this class click here.

Tuning in to the natural world, noticing what’s going on.

The earth is beginning to heat up, if you dig your hands into the soil you feel the warmth of space for life to grow. This is true of ourselves, when we start digging, start ruminating within ourselves we begin to find space to grow.

A wonderful book recommended to me this week is The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer, a journey of self exploration and the penultimate question of who am I? Seems like a small enough question but with a huge answer. Sounds like the perfect read for Spring.

Listening to this week – James Joyce Ulysses, yep that’s right Ulysses. It’s on Spotify a dramatised production of the book which has me gripped. From The Forty Foot to Sandymount Stephen & Leopold have me hooked.

Sunrise is kind of magnificent at the moment. Yep I know I always say that but that’s because it always is.

Park Yoga continues Saturdays at 11am in the Herbert Park, last week was warm, cold, lots of sunshine and then a sprinkling of rain just to mix things up. If you would like to join (or rejoin) me in the park each Saturday please book here.

Testimonials

I was so sad and sorry when my last yoga teacher decided to move home to Italy. I thought I would never find a better teacher & then… I found Chris. She delivers a wonderfully unique class which is a marriage of movement and breath. Her class delivers a complete workout for whatever level you’re at, whilst being easy on the body and calming the mind. I look forward to every class and have never felt stronger or better.

C. Horgan

Christine conveys an immense passion for yoga. Her energy is palpable. She also has a discerning understanding of how the body works when practicing yoga. I really enjoy her classes which leave me feeling full of positivity!

D. O’Reilly

Christine is a great yoga teacher and I recommend you give her a go.  She is very spiritual but her love of family and her surroundings come through clearly in her teaching - I have wished so many times to be with her in Dublin on the beach, in the studio, in the park! I have loved her classes via Zoom and her early morning Rise and Shine class has been a fantastic start to my day.  She is very knowledgeable and clearly puts a lot into planning each month and each week. Her classes are well prepared and she takes time to explain positions with variations too so that it is suitable for many levels. Having practised with her for 6 months, she keeps her practice interesting with different themes so that no 2 classes are completely the same.  I am loving my yoga journey with her and look forward to it continuing for many years.

N. Roberts

Absolutely love Chris’s yoga classes. It has become a staple part of my week to keep my mind clear and my body right. Chris is a fantastic teacher and I especially enjoy her meditation and reflections during class. Chris herself is such a fantastic person both inside and out and her light is infectious!
