Oh the light, it fills my soul

woman standing looking at the sunrise over the Irish sea

Times can be tough for all of us, you move between having stuff figured out and then bam something happens and you are thrown off course. You start to doubt yourself, you start to berate yourself, you wonder why you bother and then boom you are in total disarray and chaos sets in. But each morning there is sunrise, there is light, there is newness and there is an opportunity to embrace that newness.

In my reading this morning at sunrise Desikachar reminded me that Yoga is a modality that allows deep insight and wisdom to get through these tough times. That Jñana yoga allows me space to know that all knowledge lied hidden within me. Bhakti yoga teaches me that I serve a higher power far greater than myself. Mantra to protect me when I need that protection. Rāja yoga to honour the king that resides within me, the purusa, the Self. Karma yoga to know that my effort in everything I do is not determined by outcome but rather by action. Kriyā yoga looking inside, practice, practice, practice.

Final call for Sunday’s workshop on Compassion with Dr. Jane Uyger. An afternoon for learning about compassion, restorative yoga, Cacao & the most amazing food lovingly prepared by Lisa Davies. Book in here.

Some kind words from Jayne Hardy –

Being our true selves opens us up to rejection. Even though we can’t be everyone’s cup of tea, whoever we are….There are times when fear tells is that we won’t get through this. We don’t have what it takes. We’re not strong nor brave enough…Love is what we need, don’t believe fear when it diminishes who you are and who you could be….You will get through this. You absolutely have what it takes. You are strong and brave. You are deserving of all the wonderfulness there is.

Kind Words for Unkind Days.

Join me in studio Saturday 11am for the month of February.

February can bring so many different days, sunny big blue skies but also colder harsher days. So for the month of February I have hired out The Hive, a studio space in Herbert Park (there’s a link to it in your booking email) for us to practice indoors. You will still be in the park where we love to gather and practice Yoga. The class will be limited in numbers so if you wish to join please book your place here today.

This is what the space looks like from the outside so you know what to look for –

With the many changes in weather this month, it’s the time of year that asks questions. What can I change specifically in my life that no longer is of use to me? When we look at this is can throw up lots of emotions and so join me in February to Prepare.

Yoga retreat, Yoga Dublin, YogaHub, Yoga in Dublin

The theme of February’s circle is Prepare. The separation of set patterns can be painful, we are used to feeling and acting in certain ways. This day will help you to reset patterns and mindsets that heal and allow you to experience life in a new way. We will sit in a healing meditation taking note of what comes up and moving from this space.

After our Ãsana class we will draw awareness to our breathing patterns with a Pranayama practice. Following this you will enjoy Mama Cacao to fully absorb and bathe in all that is shifted throughout the day. I’m so happy the wonderful Lisa Davies is back to cook for us and so we will then enjoy a loving, nutritious meal together by candlelight. Book in here.

Joining me in January for class

yoga retreat, Yoga Dublin

There is a nice buzz in the air, with lots of ways to practice together in 2023.

If you want to be at home and practice in the comfort of your own space then there are 2 classes to choose from –

Wednesday 7.30pm Evening flow, a class to build strength and try a new Asana or 2.

Thursday 7pm WindDown Yoga, this class is all about releasing and letting go. We take our time getting into poses and then hold each pose for 5 minutes or longer. A real stress buster. Book in here.

Come join me Saturday at 11am in Herbert Park. Last week was beautiful, the key when we are outside is to wear a few warm layers, wool is a must so is a hat. This week the weather doesn’t look like it’s on our side so we will take our practice indoors to The Hive which is situated in Herbert Park down from Lolly & Cooks by the children’s playground. Book in here.

If you are a member of YogaHub you can catch me in studio at Blackrock 6.15pm Friday, book via MindBody.

If you come to class at BodyMindBreath then join me Monday 10am for embodied flow, book via MindBody.

The final places for the January gathering, this will take place on Sunday 22nd in YogaHub Camden street. Join me for a day of Reflection to prepare for this New Year, the day will incorporate a fiery yoga practice, Reflection on the year that has gone. Burning what we no longer need. Heartwarming and nourishing lunch followed by Cacao to absorb fully all the gifts of the practice. Book in here.

See you on the mat a chroí,

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!
