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.

Your cerebral cortex is a powerful tool to increase joy!

It was quite the experience getting back in the cold sea in November after a couple weeks when I was unable to.

I always feel wonderful after my year-round swims, and never push it to shivering for example.

But this time, as I emerged I took a selfie with my shoulders hunched, demonstrating “I’m cold!” It totally changed my joy!

Then I remembered that just imagining ease in the body or mind can induce ease…

So I relaxed my shoulders and smiled, demonstrating “I’m feeling good!”

This is not fooling ourselves. It is, in fact, a way we can use our big brains to modulate our reactions to things.

Alongside dealing with the causes of things, we can do something for ourselves by using our conscious mind.

Learning how to modulate our nervous systems is central to Yoga for Menopause and NeuroSoma Yoga.

And it is immensely important for symptom management and mental and emotional health.

Human brains are brilliant!

After years of no flowers…

When something lovely and new comes into your life, learn from flowers in a cool room.

They take a little longer to open than in the heat of summer.

Patiently I am loving watching their unfurling at the rate they need. Watching my unfurling.

As we grow older, we may feel a sense of urgency to grasp at what life offers.

What about enjoying exploring our changing ways of engaging with loveliness?

Knowing life unfolds in unexpected ways, might we surrender to this new unfolding?…

First hat and gloves day of the autumn. 🍁

If we can find the supports to meet the weather of our changing body, heart and mind through Perimenopause into the decades beyond, perhaps we can find comfort, and the ability to stay connected with nature… our nature… our self… ♥️

Yoga for Menopause and Beyond YTT helps you not only to see where yoga could be adapted to better support the physical, mental, emotional and social changes and challenges women experience in perimenopause.

It also helps you see how the richness of yoga can be focused through the lens of peri and post-menopause.

It helps us see that the yogic path is one of being with the truth of things, and that that is a PRACTICE, one never perfected... but the relief, ease and joy that these perspectives can bring is unaccountable.

Yoga for Menopause and Beyond, next live online training starts Nov 2nd (or join self-paced any time). https://yinstinctyoga.com/certificate-in-teaching-yoga-for-menopause/

My graduates fill me with hope. Thank you Kristen from the USA wrote about Aparigraha in her assignment.

Start Early: Build Bone Health Through Yoga ✨

It’s easy to dismiss advice about bone density when we’re younger — but the habits we build early matter most.
Practicing yoga supports balance, posture, proprioception, and muscular strength — all of which help maintain bone density and prevent falls as we age.

For anyone under 80, this is the time to be proactive. Your bones, muscles, and overall well-being will thank you later. 💪

I’m passionate about the place Yoga can take in supporting people with osteoporosis.

1 in 2 women over 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture!

But with knowledge and curated practices, we can help reduce that likelihood.

Yoga for Osteoporosis: Balance & Posture ✨

Yoga offers powerful ways to enhance balance, posture, and body awareness — all of which help reduce the risk of falls.
By incorporating small, controlled challenges into your balance practice, you can simulate real-life situations that test your stability.

And by strengthening the back and core, you support posture and relieve pressure on the spine — essential for individuals with osteoporosis.
