Sometimes I look at photos like this and think, is that really me?
On the outside it looks like I'm that boss bitch - running a studio, holding space for a community, creating workshops, showing up again and again. 🤣
But the truth is, I don’t walk around feeling like that.
Most days I’m just a soft, emotional, slightly chaotic Cancer girl with a Capricorn moon trying her best to follow her purpose without burning out along the way.
People see the classes, the calm voice, the cosy studio…
but they don’t always see the woman behind it -
the one who is intuitive, bubbly, sensitive, creative, sometimes overwhelmed, sometimes thriving, always learning how to regulate herself while helping others to do the same.
Teaching has changed me.
It’s softened me and strengthened me all at once.
It’s made me more patient, more grounded, and more myself.
And the more the studio grows, the more I grow with it.
The funny thing is, I give so much to others - space, compassion, grounding - yet I’m still learning how to offer those same things to myself.
How to rest without guilt.
How to practice just for me.
How to honour my energy in the seasons where my own yoga mat feels far away.
But then people walk into the studio - new faces, familiar faces, people who come back week after week - and I’m reminded why I’m here.
I want everyone who steps inside to feel welcome.
To feel part of something.
To feel seen, held, included, understood.
A little community in the middle of Limerick that I never expected to build, in a city I never expected to stay in… but now can’t imagine leaving.
Maybe that is the “boss bitch” part -
not the photo, but the quiet decision to keep going,
to keep offering,
to keep showing up for a purpose that feels bigger than me.
And honestly?
I’m proud of her.
Even if I don’t always realise it.
A big thank you to for capturing this photo. Very grateful for her time and energy capturing these photos of me at the studio. She's very talented and a big inspiration to me 💗
