Yinstinct Yoga

Yinstinct Yoga Yoga I have been teaching Yoga for 15 years. I also hold an Advanced Diploma in Nutrition Coaching and a Pilates Mat teaching qualification.

I support people one-to-one in nutrition and exercise. I hold weekly classes and occasional workshops in Greystones and online. I train other Yoga teachers around the world in my Certificate in Teaching Yoga for Menopause, and run a CPD in Menopause Awareness for Wellness Professionals. Teaching retreats a few times a year, which are very popular, I also love offering a blissful immersion into all aspects of Yoga in stunning surroundings in the West of Ireland. Hatha Yoga is the basis of all Yoga styles, and gives beginners and experienced practitioners an essential insight into all it can provide. My classes are aimed at bringing you towards greater strength, comfort and health, with essential focus on the healthy alignment of the joints and spine to avoid the injury that can come with a less refined practice. I teach pragmatically through evidence-based techniques that enhance the benefits of yoga for all, and especially for women who are in the throes of their perimenopause transition, or in the years beyond.

This was a really fun article to write!

Thanks to and for inviting me to share a blend of Yoga for Menopause and NeuroSoma Yoga with teachers and practitioners in Spain!

If you’re in Spain (or if you fancy a mini-break!), come join the sessions on May 29th and 30th.

They will be delivered in English and translated on the spot into Spanish.

I’m no stranger to grief, having grieved my parent’s deaths for the last 40 years. So I didn’t expect this, or think it would be warranted.

And of course, with the world as it is now, and people losing loved ones and in fear for their lives, I have felt it was unreasonable to feel this way about my doggo. But you have helped me “get it”.

He shepherded us, and brought joy during some difficult times.

Dear friends and social media community, thank you for helping me understand this.

I may be weeping for the world, and for my parents, for my family and for my girls too.

Questions to ask yourself as a professional:
Can this client afford healthier foods?
Does this student have time poverty because of aging parents/overwork?
Might there be things she hasn’t told be about like urinary leakage making exercise embarrassing?
Does she have an inflammatory condition?
Is a glass of wine the only thing she enjoys in life right now?

Without giving up on possibilities, can we be more inclusive.

Small, achievable changes are key, and the stress of constantly being told what we should be doing, when we simply can’t, is contributing to risk anyway?

If you’d like to learn to teach really fun, accessible, trauma-informed ways of stimulating the cognitive reserve we need, join NeuroSoma Yoga training!

Menstrual changes are not just practically difficult, but also existentially. ❤️‍🩹

🫣 This is the symptom, that can’t be denied, that tells a woman for sure she is entering menopause.

💡 Suddenly, she becomes aware of the passage of time, and that what she may have hidden from herself is for sure part of her future as well.

🧘🏽 That dawning sense of our own mortality is something that Yoga philosophy and a Yoga for Menopause and Beyond trained teacher can really hold.

I don’t know if the algorithm shares reels mentioning important body parts 🙄 … we shall see…

This reel is part of a short series on the three clinically recognised symptoms of perimenopause. You can look back in my reels to see the two that came before this and there will be one more tomorrow.

Thank and congratulations to this group of intelligent and creative yoga teachers who have spent the last month learning with me.

This is the 6th anniversary of Yoga for Menopause and Beyond YTT and I am so grateful for teachers with all sorts of backgrounds and styles and levels of experience who notice the need to be deeply informed about their student’s experiences from age 40 til their elder years.

There’s only 2 more opportunities to take this training in 2026!

You can find these teachers by tapping the photo and follow if you like 😊🙏

May humans remember their humanity.Then there may be peace.

How do you navigate your hot flashes or hot flushes?

You may have heard that perimenopause comes with dozens, or even more than 100 symptoms. While many changes can occur during this time, long symptom lists often create fear and confusion, rather than clarity.

The medical world recognises three key symptoms!

When Yoga teachers understand this, they can speak about menopause with more confidence and less alarm, helping women feel informed, supported, and empowered.

This clarity is a core part of my Yoga for Menopause and Beyond 40hr online teacher training.

If you’d like to learn more,, comment menopause and I’ll send you the details.
