Make this Mother’s Day Morning a GOOD Morning with our Mini Wellness Retreat 🧘🏽‍♀️🌸🫶🏽🥰🌅👌🏽

📆 Sunday 15th March | 10:00am – 12:00 noon

📍Clooney/Quin GAA Clubhouse

Firstly, we’ll begin with a Moss Boss tonic shot to gently awaken the body and get us going. 🤩🥃

Next, Kelly will guide you through a nourishing breathwork & pranayama practice, followed by a gentle yet active yoga flow to energise and uplift. 🤸🏽‍♀️

Then Laura will transition you into a more restorative practice, using props and comfort measures to fully support the body. This will lead you into a deeply relaxing Yoga Nidra (non-sleep deep rest) with heated eye masks for extra comfort and relaxation. 🧘🏽‍♀️

Finally, we’ll conclude the morning session together with light refreshments and healthy nibbles, sending you on your merry way feeling nourished and restored. ☕️ 🍪

We’ll also finish the morning in style …🤩 — You’ll receive a special gift of yoga grip socks, so you’ll be ready to stick to your practice and find us again on the yoga mat. 🧦 💕

A beautiful way to celebrate Mother’s Day — whether you come with your mum, a friend or simply treat yourself. 💝🌸

**If interested, please message either Laura or Kelly to book your spot.

Teacher Wellbeing Practice

Teaching places unique and ongoing demands on the body and nervous system — long hours on your feet, leaning over desks, looking down at children and carrying the emotional load of care and responsibility.

This Eagle arms + Sphinx variation is a simple, supportive practice designed specifically to nourish teacher wellbeing.

Remain in the pose for 3 - 5 minutes, using blocks or cushions to support the chest. Allow the shape to do the work rather than muscular effort.

How this supports teacher wellbeing:

✨ Releases upper-back tension
Crossing the arms gently stretches between the shoulder blades — an area where teachers often hold stress from focus, vigilance, and sustained attention.

✨ Softens the shoulders and neck
Eagle arms invite gradual opening without force, helping to release habitual holding from teaching, supporting, and managing the classroom.

✨ Encourages healthier posture
The gentle backbend of the Sink naturally lifts the chest, counteracting the forward-folded posture common in school environments.

✨ Regulates the nervous system
Grounding through the forearms and belly supports a sense of safety and stability, helping the nervous system shift from “doing” into rest and restoration.

A quiet, accessible practice to help teachers feel more supported, regulated, and resourced — both in and out of the classroom.

For more Yin yoga and wellbeing practices for teachers, you are very welcome to practise with me at Kelly MacLean Yoga 🤍

Breathwork (Pranayama Practice) is how I regulate my nervous system. (i.e. get me out of emergency mode! 😅)

I like to play around with single-nostril breathing and alternate nostril breathing (Nadi Shodhana)

Feel free to explore: ⤵️

☀️Sun Breath (Surya Bhedana)
Close the left nostril.
Breathe in and out through the right nostril for a few slow rounds.
Feel energising, warming, and clarifying.

🌙 Moon Breath (Chandra Bhedana)
Close the right nostril.
Breathe in and out through the left nostril.
Cooling, soothing, deeply calming.

👃 Alternate Nostril Breathing
Bring your peace fingers to your third eye.
Use your thumb and ring finger to gently close each nostril.

• Inhale up the left, exhale down the right (moon → sun)
• Then inhale up the right, exhale down the left (sun → moon)

🔁 Step 4: Nadi Shodhana
Inhale left → exhale right
Inhale right → exhale left
Move slowly, smoothly, and without force.

⏸️ Optional breath retention (advanced)
Add a gentle hold of 2–4 counts after the inhale
(and optionally after the exhale), keeping the breath soft and easeful.

⚠️ Important note:
If you are pregnant or have high or low blood pressure, skip breath retention and keep the breath continuous.

This practice balances the nervous system, clears the mind and brings a deep sense of steadiness and presence 👌🏽

Marching Glute Bridge with Weights — a Yogalates exercise that is emphasises slow, controlled, intentional movement with the breath. 🧘🏽‍♀️

Strong glutes, steady core, calm mind 🔥💪🏽🥰

I love how Yogalates builds strength without rushing — just breath, control & presence 🤍

Relax the shoulders, soften the breath and gently de-stress from daily life 🤎

Here is a little warm-up from my last yoga class that I taught earlier this month🖤

It also became a hit at last Wednesday’s yoga classes 💚❤️

We started with a few shoulder shrugs and rolls, some gentle neck release, and a quiet moment to settle into the breath and set an intention. 🧘🏽‍♀️

Then eased into a seated twist, side stretch, eagle arms, cow pose with cactus arms, a soft cat back and finished with some lovely Sufi circles to loosen everything out. 👌🏽

If you’d like to move and unwind with me this Wednesday, I’m teaching Yogalates @6.45 and Yin Yoga (PRENATAL-FRIENDLY CLASS) in Clooney/Quin GAA Clubhouse.🫶🏽

Hope to see you there 🤍
